CAHILL MESSAGE FOR RHYS FAMILY

by Darren Griffiths | Thursday 23 August 2007, 09:28

Tim Cahill has spoken of his shock and sadness at the death of the young boy murdered in Liverpool on Wednesday night.

11-year old Rhys Jones, an Everton supporter, was killed by a bullet fired at him in the car-park of a public house and Cahill, like everyone else, is stunned by the awful crime.

"It's unthinkable that a young kid playing football can end up being killed," he told evertonfc.com.

"My heart, prayers and sympathy go out to the family. I've got young children of my own and I can't begin to imagine just how Rhys's family are feeling right now.

"I just hope that whoever carried out this act is brought to justice. It's unbelievable and such a tragic waste of a young life."

Police on Merseyside arrested two youths on suspicion of murder on Thursday morning.
