Three charged with murder after Anthony Condron killed on night out in Liverpool

THREE MEN have been charged with murder after Anthony Condron was killed on a night out in Liverpool. 

Merseyside Police launched a murder investigation following the fatal assault in Liverpool City Centre in the early hours of Saturday, February 3 2018.

Emergency services were called shortly after 1am, following a report that a man in his 20s had been assaulted during an altercation in the Maya bar on Wood Street.

He was taken to hospital and sadly pronounced dead at 2.24am.

Previously, police said they believed it was an unprovoked attack on the young man, while he was on a night out with his girlfriend and friends, which 'tragically resulted in the loss of his life.'

Merseyside Police have this morning charged three men with murder.

Jamie Addison, 22, from Bridgewater Street, Liverpool, Joseph Booth, 24, from Ashbourne Road, Aigburth and Paul Byrne, 23, from Ribbledale Road, Mossley Hill have all been charged with murder.

All three have been remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Magistrates Court this morning, Monday February 5.

A close friend of Mr Condron's family set up a fund for his loved ones to help towards his funeral.

Writing on the fundraising site, Catherine Skelhorn: "No one expects something like this to happen out of the blue, to one  of your babies.

"Barbara sadly lost and had to bury her two parents within days of each other not long back, she has not got over that. Now this happens to her beloved eldest son.

"As a community we hope to raise what we can to help her out with all this expense.

"My heart is broken in two for Barbara and her family, going through this again, after not long losing both parents within five days of each other.

"Please give what you can no matter what, it will be given with a good heart."
