Little Boy Blue actress Sinead Keenan who plays Rhys Jones’ mother Melanie reveals his grieving parents are ‘happy the story has been faithfully told’

Rhys Jones was killed aged 11 in 2007 on his way home from football practice
What happened to Rhys Jones?
Rhys Jones was just 11 when he was senselessly killed while walking across a pub car park in Liverpool in August 2007.
The sports mad youngster was heading home alone after football practice at 7.30pm in broad daylight when a hooded youth cycled by and fired three shots from a handgun.
One struck Rhys in the back and his distraught mother Melanie rushed to the scene when she heard what had happened.
Paramedics tried for over an hour and a half to save Rhys, but he was later pronounced dead at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
After months of investigations and arrests, 18-year-old Sean Mercer – a member of the Croxteth Crew gang – was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, serving a minimum of 22 years.
Other gang members were also sentenced for assisting an offender.
