Four men and a boy, 14, have been jailed for life
A grieving mum wakes up screaming in the night after seeing her son's lifeless body on the floor - an 18-year-old who was murdered inside an internet cafe, a court heard. Three brothers, their friend and a 14-year-old boy were all jailed for life on Friday for the 'vicious' murder of Michael Toohey, who was about to become a dad for the first time.
The murder happened on London Road in Liverpool city centre on April 16 last year. Leading the attack was Keiron Williams, 28, described as either the head or near the top of an Everton-based organised crime group involved in a "turf war" with another gang, although the full facts of the rivalry are not clear, reports The Echo.
Those calls set in motion a gang attack that ended in murder. Within minutes, Keiron Williams had arrived on scene in a white Golf estate, and chased Mr Toohey, who tried to cycle away before throwing his bike to the ground and running into the Mobiles Junction internet cafe, with Keiron Williams in hot pursuit.
In a victim impact statement read out in court, Michael’s family spoke of how his mum was begging for paramedics to save her son's life as he lay lifeless on the floor. “Michael was 18-years-old, the youngest of our family hence we call him our young child. He had his whole life ahead of him, he had a baby on the way.
"That will not now happen, as our own young child was brutally beaten, and his life taken that day. Michael Jr must grow up and one day learn that his daddy was taken from him in the most unlawful way.”Detective Chief Inspector Stephen McGrath said afterwards: "Firstly, our thoughts are very much with the family of Michael Toohey who are devastated by what happened to their son, and it has been heart-breaking for them to relive Michael’s final moments during this trial.
