THE family of Danny Fox will stage a peaceful demonstration outside Liverpool Crown Court on Friday morning.

The relatives and friends of the children's care worker, who died from a stab wound in September 2016, will be highlighting concerns over the criminal justice system.

The peaceful event will begin at 10.30am, Danny's auntie Dawn Jones has confirmed.

The family will also be contacting the St Helens South and Whiston MP Marie Rimmer in the hope she will take up their case in Parliament.

Yesterday Leighton Holt, 21, walked free from court after a jury failed to reach a verdict in a murder trial.

Holt slashed Danny in the neck with a butterfly knife, inflicting a fatal wound, however, he said he was acting in self-defence.

It is understood Danny's family are still gathering their thoughts following yesterday's outcome and will make a statement at a later date.

The event will be the first stage of the family's campaign.

Meanwhile, a vigil in support of the family will also take place on Friday in Victoria Square.

It is scheduled to take place from 6pm until 7pm and people are being asked to bring candles and lights.
