Whilst it would be hard to shop your own son, even if you knew he was responsible for the murder of Rhys or indeed anyone else, young or old, murderers do need to be locked up and never be allowed out of jail.
Rhys was an innocent boy from a decent family, who was doing nothing more than coming home from football practice, when he was caught in the crossfire of a discharging gun held by a lad who to the minds of many is pure scum, scum who should not be allowed out onto the streets of any town or city ever again.
Murderers are sick individuals who will seldom be truly reformed it is their natural killer mentality.
This lad WILL kill again and next time who knows who his victim will be, a baby? An elderly person? Another child? or YOU? Does anyone deserve to die? No they don't so why should people with an inclination to murder in cold blood be allowed the freedom to kill again and again and again.
Guns should be banned they are lethal and in the wrong hands lives are at risk, many many lives.
I have relatives with small children living near to the area where Rhys was murdered, I am worried sick that they might be next, heaven forbid.
The only decent thing to do is to shop the culprit and have him locked up for not only the protection of the public at large but the lad himself, who evidently thinks that guns are something to entertain himself with, he is a sick depraved violent and murderous minded individual who is a danger to himself and everyone else, a psychiatric case who needs serious help and fast before he murders in COLD BLOOD again.
Those who protect him from being arrested are as sick as he is and who condone cold blooded murderers.
Also if this lad is into gang rivalry whose to say that a member of a rival gang won't shoot the family of this murderous boy in a tit for tat style attack?
My message to those who are hiding this cold blooded murderer, is that they should think hard about the fact that (1) they are letting a cold blooded murderer sleep under the same roof as they, every night, that (2) the rival gang who their boy was aiming at when he discharged his gun could well kill them next let alone their boy who is himself a murderer that (3) guilt goes everywhere they do thus there is no escape from it and they will have to live with the guilt of harboring a cold blooded murderer who WILL kill again meaning that they will have more innocent blood on their consciences (4) The longer they hide this boy of theirs the worse it will be when he is caught and he WILL be, the police could make them an accessory before and after the fact for hiding him and (5) they will be a hated family for being seen to hide a murderer and they will become targets of a hate campaign so best hand him into the police now and be seen to do the right and decent thing, whilst they still can, and time IS running out now the police have fresh leads and CCTV footage of this boy.
My heart goes out to the family of poor Rhys who don't deserve to be suffering like this, and I sincerely hope they can find peace, I sense that Rhys is with you all the time and will always be.
Everyone is right behind you and you are clearly good decent parents who love your children and you should be commended for that. I am so sorry that you have had to suffer such a terrible loss and tragedy.
If I can help you in any way please let me know ok?
Meanwhile if you know who the killer is, please do the decent thing and please shop this killer he is a dangerous psycho capable of murdering in cold blood again and he WILL do too. It could be YOU next.
