I'm from Huyton, born and bred. The people of Huyton are genuine hardworking people and where this happened is not in a poor area. I hope people realise that things like this can happen anywhere, although most would not want to admit it. This is the second such tragedy to happen in one town, anyone remember the Anthony Walker murder? Happened less than a mile away from this one.
My heart goes out to Michael and his family/friends.
