A dad-to-be who took part in the violent disorder in Southport has been released from prison just three months into his 18 month sentence.

Dylan Carey appeared at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on August 6 where he admitted to violent disorder on July 30. The court heard that earlier that evening, the 26-year-old, from Wigan, and his pregnant girlfriend had attended a vigil in the town centre where they laid flowers in memory of Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine.

The vigil was organised following the tragic deaths of the three schoolgirls in a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class the previous day.

After the attack, which also injured eight children and two adults, false information began circulating online. Consequently, a protest was announced to take place after the vigil, outside Southport Mosque on the corner of St Luke's Road and Sussex Road.
