The mum of murdered teenager Yusuf Sonko has urged young men who consider carrying weapons to think about her pain.
Khadija Sonko spoke to the ECHO to mark the six year anniversary of her 18-year-old son's heartbreaking murder. Yusuf was shot dead on June 2, 2017 while standing with friends on Tagus Street, Toxteth. Merseyside Police has arrested eight people in connection with the shooting but no one has ever been charged with his murder.
The shooting caused devastation in Toxteth and Yusuf's grief-stricken parents have relentlessly begged for those with information to come forward to police. When asked by the ECHO what her message would be to young men in Merseyside, Khadija said: "Stay away from guns, stay away from knives, stay away from trouble.
