The trial of Sean Mercer, the 18-year-old accused of murdering Rhys Jones, starts in Liverpool today.

Rhys' parents, Stephen and Melanie Jones, arrived at Liverpool Crown Court this morning accompanied by police liaison officers.

Six other people will also stand trial, accused of assisting an offender.
