A schoolboy was stabbed in a vicious suspected revenge attack following a brutal murder.
The 15-year-old suffered life-threatening wounds just days after Connor Dockerty, 23, was knifed to death in Huyton. The second stabbing was just one of a series of incidents last April, amid heightened tension in the aftermath of the young dad's killing.
That night, an anonymous source told the ECHO the boy was targeted "because he hung around with the kid who killed the lad by the Oak [the Oak Tree Pub in Kingsway]". That claim was supported by a Merseyside Police statement provided to Liverpool Crown Court last week, when Mr Dockerty's killer - a 15-year-old boy, aka Boy A - was locked up for life.
