Somalian's death: Three face court

Three men are appearing in court charged with murder over the death of a teenager in a fight between Somali immigrants.

Ahmed Mohamed Ibrahim, 17, was killed after a brawl on Monday night on Croxteth Drive, near Sefton Park, south Liverpool.

A post-mortem examination revealed the youngster died of "blunt force trauma", according to Merseyside Police.

Ahmed Kayse Ahmed, 29, of St Mary Street in Greenwich, London; Ali Mohammed, 19, of Ritson Street in Toxteth, Liverpool; and Ibrahim Ahmed, 22, of Beaconsfield Street, Toxteth, will appear before Liverpool City Magistrates' Court charged with his murder.

A fourth man, Saeed Hassan Effa, of Northbrook Close in Toxteth, has been charged with violent disorder and will also appear in court.

Two other men - 22-year-old Kadir Mohammed and 21-year-old Effa Mohammed Ritson, both from Toxteth - have also been charged with Ahmed's murder.

They appeared before magistrates on Friday and were remanded in custody.

One of the victim's friends, 17, also Somalian, is being treated in hospital for cuts to his arms and hands following the attack.

Police said it involved a large-scale disturbance between 12 and 16 men, all from south Liverpool's Somalian community.
