A teenage gunman (Sean Mercer, pictured) has been found guilty of the murder of 11-year-old Rhys Jones, who was gunned down as he made his way home from football training in Liverpool.

A jury is expected to be sent out today to consider its verdict in the trial of a teenager accused of gunning down British schoolboy Rhys Jones.

Crucial evidence used in the Rhys Jones trial has produced nothing more than a “web of lies”, a British jury was told today.
