The Murder of Rhys Jones: Police Tapes ITV, 9.00PM

Anyone who watched Jeff Pope’s drama series Little Boy Blue last year, based on the investigation into the murder of 11-year-old Rhys Jones in Liverpool on 22 August 2007, will know just how disturbing the circumstances surrounding this case were. Rhys, on his way home from football practice, was hit by a stray bullet and died when a teenager on a bicycle started shooting at rival gang members across a car park in Croxteth. To compound the horror, a veil of silence descended on the area as the youths involved, and in some cases their parents, conspired to conceal their identities by intimidating all around them. The only recourse open to investigating officers was to plant listening devices in the homes of the suspects in the hope that somehow, they would incriminate themselves. But that was only the beginning. Here, presenter Susanna Reid gains access to the recordings, in which those responsible admit their part. GO
