6. The Murder of Rhys Jones: Police Tapes
Thursday 21st June at 9pm on ITV
Following the success of Little Boy Blue, ITV are delving into the real story behind the award-winning series as Susanna Reid gains exclusive access to recordings from secret police bugs placed in the homes of gang members suspected of the murder of Rhys Jones, who was shot dead at the age of 11.
When Rhys was killed on his way home from football practice in 2007, it dominated headlines nationwide. It was later revealed that the bullet that hit Rhys was intended for another victim connected to a dispute between Liverpool gang members, but a code of silence based on fear stopped anyone coming forward to identify the killer Sean Mercer or his accomplices.
Susanna speaks to senior police officers involved as well as Rhys’s parents Mel and Steve who tell her how they have struggled to make sense of the tragedy in the immediate aftermath and in the years since.
The police tapes taken from the bugs indicate the culture of fear and intimidation that prevailed in that area of the city at that time which prevented officers from identifying a man on a bike seen on CCTV at the murder scene, who was infamously shown on tape at the time.
