Teen murder suspects released

London - All those arrested in connection with the murder of an 11-year-old boy in Liverpool have been released, police said on Monday.

Two youths aged 15 and 19 and two girls aged 15 and 18 were released without charge. A 16-year-old youth and a 19-year-old youth were released on bail.

Rhys Jones was playing football in the car park of a pub in Croxteth, Liverpool on Wednesday night when an unidentified youth arrived on a bicycle, fired three shots and escaped.

The victim was struck in the throat and died en route to hospital.

In total 10 people have been arrested in connection with the killing - six were released on bail and four without charge.

Police said they have interviewed a witness to the killing. Investigators have also examined video material which shows the perpetrator, reports said, but the footage isn't good to identify him.

According to a report in The Times newspaper, police believe the killer meant to shoot a rival gang leader and killed Rhys by mistake. - Sapa-dpa

fred.fraser.12 says... Israel was created by the international community from 52% of the land formerly occupied by the Jewish and Palestinian people and Palestine 43%. Most of the Israeli territory was the Negev Desert. Jerusalem fell into neither territory. The Palestinians with their unelected neighbors declared war the very next day. In the 1960's they even invaded Israel twice. Full military invasions. The result: Israel survived and pushed them back, gaining territory in the process. This is the origin of what you wrongly call the occupied territories. There have been almost daily attacks by Palestinians, incited by their self-serving unelected backers. Palestinians even teach their children at Kindergarten to attack Israel, rather than be peaceful. Children. Kindergarten. From day one, and even today it's wage war on Israel. A tragic victim-martyr game to garner pity from unsuspecting people who don't look deeper. All that needs to happen is for Palestinians to choose peace with Israel. That's all. Everything will change for the better. This is more likely going forward now because the unelected dictators are being removed from power by their people. They will no longer use the Palestinians for their own political reasons. Read the article...
