with friends, a bite to eat and want to help children at the same time, then the Barnardo's Big Brunch is for you! We'd
love to see lots of people getting involved and hosting a brunch at their home
or at their favourite local café, coffee shop, office or college canteen. It
promises to be a lot of fun, with all money raised making a dramatic difference
to the lives of many children and young people."

Kevin Wilson Murder
MERSEYSIDE Police has confirmed that a
30 year old man has been arrested on Wednesday, 11 February 2015, as part of an
on-going investigation into the murder of Kevin Wilson. The 30 year old who is
reported to be from the Smithdown Road area of Liverpool, was arrested on
suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice and theft. He remains
in Police custody at this time.
Kevin Wilson died after been shot near to the Junction of Smithdown Road and
Holmes Street on Saturday, 7 February. Aged just 17, he died after being shot on
Saturday, 7 February 2015, near to the Junction of Smithdown Road and Holmes
Street. A post mortem examination confirmed he died as a result of a
single gunshot wound.
Kevin had been living in Liverpool, but is originally from Viewpark in South
Lanarkshire. A tribute for Kevin Wilson from his family:- "As a family we
are struggling to come to terms with the tragic loss of Kevin. This loss has
turned our world upside down. He will be missed every day and our lives will
never be the same again. He still had his whole life ahead of him and he has
been taken away from us too soon. We would like to thank people for their
support during this difficult time and would ask that we be left to grieve in
private."
Detective Chief Inspector Tom Keaton, said:- "We are absolutely
determined to find the person or persons responsible for this horrendous act but
we need the public's help in piecing together what happened before and after
they committed this crime. From our examination of CCTV and house-to-house
enquiries in the area we are aware that around the time Kevin was shot there
were a number of people in the vicinity of Smithdown Road near to Holmes Street.
Also, Smithdown Road is a very busy thoroughfare and I would appeal to anyone
who was out and about at this time and think they saw anything that in hindsight
seems suspicious, to contact us with that information. I'd also like to reassure
people that incidents like this are rare and neighbourhood officers will be
continuing to patrol the area. We take incidents of this nature extremely
seriously and we are appealing to anyone with any information about the person
or persons responsible for this attack to call us so we can take action against
them."
An investigation into the full circumstances of the incident is on-going. Anyone
with information is asked to contact the Matrix Serious Organised Crime team
on:- 0800 230 0600 immediately or Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555 111.
