Teenager murdered in axe attack

A teenager has been murdered with an axe in a racist attack by a gang, police say.
Student Anthony Walker, 18, died in hospital after being attacked in Huyton, Merseyside, on Friday night.

Mr Walker had been taunted while at a bus stop on St John’s Road with his girlfriend and a male cousin. They moved but were attacked in a park.

His girlfriend and cousin, both 17, ran to get help, but when they returned he was on the ground with head injuries.

‘Unprovoked, racist attack’

Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Lawson said: “What we are dealing with here is an unprovoked and vicious attack on a young black man which we believe to be racially motivated.

“This was a despicable act and we’re absolutely determined to find the people responsible.

“Our first thoughts go out to his family and we have met his mother and his sister and they are bearing up tremendously.

“Anthony was a young Christian studying for his A levels and wanting to be a lawyer.”

Mr Walker was taken to Whiston Hospital but transferred to Walton neurological centre where he died of his injuries after being attacked with an axe.

Mr Lawson urged local people to help catch the killers.

“We believe the offenders are local and we believe it is the responsibility of the local community to give these people up,” he said.

“There are a lot of decent people in the local area who are absolutely shocked at what has happened.”

I really do think people are becoming desensetised by society, and more angry by the minute. A lot of lads/men these days do seem prepared not just to fight, but to maim and kill ; despite knowing that they will eventually end up in HMP or dead.

it is quite simply a one-person act of war against their “enemy” – in this case the “enemy” was black and had a white girlfriend, in other cases its gang loyalties or drugs.

OTOH I can’t believe that all the so-called “hard lads” are that stupid they do not know about forensics, and that to murder someone in such a messy manner is bound to leave lots of evidence that will eventually get them caught.

its as if these people are prepared to deal with the consequences, but have completely lost all respect for life; including their own… and once someone loses repect for their own life they are hardly going to respect anyone elses.

That is one of the biggest dangers facing society today IMO… the other is the effects of the global conflict risk splitting communities amongst racial divisions. I fear we are slipping back to the late 70s/early 80s as far as social progress is concerned…
