Youth charged with Rhys murderA 17-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of schoolboy Rhys Jones, police said.
Eleven-year-old Rhys was shot dead on August 22 last year in Liverpool as he walked home from playing football.
Merseyside Police said that two men, aged 24 and 25, and two youths were charged with assisting an offender. One of the youths was also charged with possession of a firearm.
Senior investigating officer, Detective Superintendent Dave Kelly, paid tribute to Rhys's parents Stephen, 45, and Melanie, 42, for their support and patience throughout the eight-month investigation.
Mr Kelly said: "It has been a complicated inquiry which is reflected in the number of charges.
"I would personally like to thank Stephen and Melanie Jones for their support and patience throughout this investigation.
"They have shown courage, strength and dignity during what must have been a truly terrible time for them."
Thank goodness this person has been found and charged at last.
Maybe now his family can try to put their lives back together.

About bloody time too, I can't believe someone hasn't been charged sooner. Someone must have known who it was from the description! Poor Rhys's parents, my heart goes out to them
