We spoke to Peter Williams, a former Merseyside Police Inspector and now a senior lecturer in policing at Liverpool John Moores University and for his reaction to what happened.Same as everybody else, I think the prime minister has spoken for us all, hasn’t he? Absolutely horrific, absolutely shocked.
And I would imagine that will take several days. Like any other criminal investigation, it is pointless speaking to any suspected offender until you are in possession of the full facts, and that is what will happen here.And we know in the terrible, awful moments after this incident was taking place that members of the community did step up to help to try and look after the children, the eyewitnesses said, as they were coming out.
