The family of Rhys Jones have slammed his killer's attempt to have his jail sentence reduced. Sean Mercer was 16 when he murdered the popular 11-year-old child who had just finished football practice in 2007.

Rhys was an innocent victim amid a crime war between gun-toting rival gangs in Croxteth and Norris Green in Liverpool. Mercer was jailed in 2008 and ordered to serve at least 22 years, meaning his earliest release date was 2030, at the age of 40.

He was a prominent member of the notorious Croxteth Crew gang, and is now attempting to reduce his jail term, Liverpool Echo reports.

His lawyers are set to argue he should be entitled to a sentence reduction because he was a juvenile, aged 16, when he murdered Rhys nearly 13 years ago.
