7 men and a teenage boy sentenced to a total of more than 50 years behind bars
7 men and a teenage boy have been sentenced to a total of more than 50 years behind bars following a large scale disturbance in Liverpool City Centre in which a man was stabbed.
At around:- 5.30am, on:- Wednesday, 27 December 2023, Merseyside Police Patrols located a male at the junction of:- Church Street and Whitechapel, Liverpool, with stab wounds. Officers from the Force gave medical assistance to the man, now aged 22. He was taken to Hospital and later released to continue to recover from his injuries. A further 2 males also self presented at Hospital with injuries; 1 with a stab wound to the back and the second with a laceration to the head. Following an extensive investigation detectives charged a number of males in connection with the incident. The following have now been sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court:-
A 17 year old male pleaded guilty to violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon and found guilty of 2 s18 assaults. He was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in a young offender's institute.
Detective Chief Inspector Tony Roberts said:- "What happened in the early hours of:- 27 December 2024, was totally unacceptable and led to 3 people suffering serious injuries. It is only by sheer luck and the intervention of the Police Officers who were 1st at scene that we were not dealing with a murder investigation. Due to the scale of the disorder this has been a very complex and challenging investigation during which hours of CCTV footage were reviewed and an extensive number of witnesses spoken to. Today, 8 individuals have been sentenced to a total of more than 50 years behind bars as a result of their reckless actions on that night. I hope this serves as a message to anyone thinking of behaving in such a manner that it will not be tolerated, and we will take decisive action to find the people responsible and bring them to justice. Similarly, anyone thinking of taking a knife out with them should be aware of the robust action we will continue to take, and I would ask the public to make us aware of whom these people are so we can stop them." var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-5165542-3']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
