A 14-year-old boy has been found guilty of murdering Michael Toohey at a city centre internet café.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted of the 18-year-old's murder by a jury at Liverpool Crown Court earlier today, Monday. But another defendant - 25-year-old Matthew Wynn, of Mosslawn Road in Kirkby - was cleared of the same count.
Tempers reportedly flared in the courtroom after the verdicts were delivered, with police officers having to intervene amid the heightened tensions. Four others - Keiron Williams, aged 28 and of no fixed address; Anthony Williams, 32, of Hillbrook Drive in Walton; Michael Williams, 24, of Carslake Grove in Walton and Steven McInerney, 33, of Bridport Street in the city centre - were found guilty of murder on Friday afternoon following a trial, which had been running since late November.
