Man killed at Liverpool airport by car thieves

It was a terrible event, but the problem was leaving keys in the ignition - it happens across the country in supermarkets and petrol stations too but never leading to such tragic consequences. It's a good thing the airport CCTV images were so clear which led to the conviction. Hopefully all airports have such coverage.

I also understand JLA's rates bill doubled from £600,000 in 2003 to £1.2million in 2004, you would think this would merit a better police service. No airport should have to pay for policing twice, once through the rates and again separately. That doesn't seem to happen in Europe where the regional, national or even army forces patrol the landside areas without funding direct from the airports.

I know it willbe nothing compared to the way the poor mans loved ones must be feeling but I can't believe people can blame the security agent on the terminal forecourt how must he be feeling. There are only a couple of small minded to blame and I hope they get what they deserve while they are in prison from some twenty+ stone guy looking for some loving who is in for life and will be happy to teach the 's a lesson.

All the best to that poor mans family and friends
