PC Robbie Pritchard, who works in the Croxteth area, said: "I ask you, the person who fired the gun, and you, the people who know what happened that night, how can you look at yourself in the mirror for the rest of your life knowing what you have done?

"I would ask you to face the truth and hand yourself in to police."

Meanwhile, a nine-year-old friend of Rhys Jones spoke movingly of his shock and pain at the death of his friend.

Lewis Ainscough, dressed in his Liverpool football kit, stood on a chair to reach the microphone and offered an emotional tribute to the murdered schoolboy in Liverpool's Croxteth Hall and Country Park.

The youngster read a heart-rendering prayer to the hundreds of well-wishers who braved heavy rains to attend a memorial service.

Rhys' parents Melanie, 41, and Stephen, 44, lit a candle in memory of their son.

The youngster died after suffering a single gunshot wound to the neck as he walked home from football practice on August 22.

The gunman, who was seen wearing a hooded top, made his escape shortly after the shooting.
