Michael Toohey, 18, from Oil Street, died after he was attacked in the Monument Place area at around 5.50pm on April 19. Police have since launched a murder investigation. Detectives have appealed for information about a vehicle that was seen being driven 'erratically' in the London Road area at the time of the incident.

The attack happened in broad daylight on a Saturday afternoon. Merseyside Police said a post-mortem examination had been carried out and the cause of Michael's death was described as "multiple injuries". Detectives were pursuing several lines of enquiry.
