Teen killers seen on CCTV leading dad to canal edge before stabbing him 35 times

Chilling CCTV footage has shown the exact moment three teen killers were seen leading a dad to his death, before they stabbed him 35 times. In the shocking clip, Liam Bailey, 19, Liam O'Brien, 17, and Harry Maher, 16, are seen luring Scott Anderton, 33, to a deserted canal where they repeatedly knifed him.

The thugs then pushed the helpless man into the water and left him there to die, the Liverpool Echo reports. The heinous murder of the father took place in Wigan in the early hours of March 25, 2022. All three killers were found guilty of murder after the CCTV footage provided clear evidence that they had played a significant role in his death.

The teenagers had spotted Mr Anderton walking himself in Leigh town centre, with only one shoe on and carrying a plastic bag. They walked with him to a concealed part of the canal before stabbing him repeatedly and pushing him into the water.
