YouTube commenter names murder suspect

by Trench on November 1st, 2007

YouTube Commenters Name Rhys Jones Murder Suspect:
Rhys Jones was an 11-year-old schoolboy from England who was caught in the crossfire of a gang shootout in Liverpool. Police have made several arrests but have not charged anyone yet with his death. That may change after someone posted a suspect’s name on YouTube.

The comment appeared under a four minute video of Liverpool street gang members brandishing guns. The video has now been removed, but police are investigating the allegation attached to it.
Allegation By Comment

One comment is supposed to have read:

“No-one set out that night to kill Rhys.”

To which another commenter replied:

“Who da f**k is no-one? It was ***** ***** who killed Rhys and everybody knows.”

The person named is believed to be a gang member, and has already been named by dozens of callers to the police investigating the death.

However police are still lacking the evidence needed.

Thanks to my Digg buddy Dave for the link.
