Written with full access to the documentary evidence, this book tells of the murder of a two-year-old by two ten-year-olds which horrified the nation. The murderers were captured on video leading their victim away from his mother, out of the shopping mall, to be killed shortly afterwards. His body was left on a railway line. The characteristically Liverpudlian display of grief that followed turned into mob violence. The crowd wanted to lynch the two ten-year-olds. Meanwhile, the police were faced with the delicate problem of interrogating such young people - the slightest slip-up could be disastrous - and the process began of finding out why this almost unimaginably horrible thing happened.
