Six charged over Rhys Jones murder
"A 17-year-old youth was charged last night with the murder of Rhys Jones, the 11-year-old boy who was shot dead in a pub car park in Liverpool last August.
The youth was one of six people to be charged with offences in connection with the death of the schoolboy, who was shot through the neck and died in his mother’s arms".
As I understand it, Rhys was killed as the result of a bullet that ricocheted off a car. Therefore, I suspect that the intention to kill was not present to satisfy a murder charge and that any conviction will be as the result of a reduced charge of manslaughter.
