Gilps Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Beeb report Two men and two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Liverpool schoolboy Rhys Jones. They were among 11 people arrested by Merseyside Police in a series of dawn raids in the Croxteth area.

In addition two teenagers, two men and three women are being held on charges including assisting an offender. Rhys was shot dead as he walked home from football practice in Croxteth Park, Liverpool, on 22 August. Firearm Merseyside police raided a number of homes early on Tuesday. A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, attempting to pervert the course of justice and possession of a firearm and ammunition. A 49-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and attempting to pervert the course of justice. The three women, aged 50, 54 and 21, and a 22-year-old man, have been arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice. Gun found They are all due to be questioned by detectives. Since the killing outside the Fir Tree pub eight months ago, 20 people have been arrested over the killing - 17 on suspicion of murder.

In February, Merseyside police said they believed they had found the gun used to shoot the schoolboy, adding that they had a "clear strategy" for the investigation.
