Liverpool Launderette Killers: the Laneheads gang: Reece O'Shaugnessy, Keyfer Dykstra (14) Joseph McGill (14) Andrew Hewitt (15) Corey Hewitt (14) On 30th September 2013, Sean McHugh (19) an apprentice Bricklayer had been in the laundrette on Priory Road doing his washing. From Walton originally, although not a gang member, he had naively moved into a flat in the rival gang's territory (the Laneheads) home turf area of Anfield. He was set upon by the laneheads and ran into the launderette's back room, giving his mobile phone to the manager, telling her to ring the police as they were going to kill him. The gang smashed the door down and one member stabbed Sean in the femoral artery, Sean died of his injuries 4 days later. Joint enterprise was used to convict the members of the "Laneheads" gang. The Judge said this was a result of the all too familiar effects of disaffected youths in inner-city Britain and added: 'It speaks volumes, doesn't it, for a structured upbringing?'
