I am prepared to meet his killers one day

THE mother of murdered black teenager Anthony Walker said she would be prepared to meet her son's killers one day. Gee Walker's 18-year-old son was bludgeoned to death with an ice axe in a racist attack in Huyton last July. Paul Taylor, 20, and Michael Barton, 17 - the cousin and brother of Manchester City footballer Joey Barton - were jailed for life.

Mrs Walker has spoken in the past about how her strong Christian faith has helped her to forgive her son's murderers.

In a radio interview she said she hoped that in the future she would be able to meet them and ask why they killed him.

But the special needs teacher said she did not feel ready yet to speak to them in person.

She said: "The pain is still raw. Like I have said before, forgiveness takes time. The healing has started, but I am not at the point yet to meet with them."
