Widespread unrest swept across towns and cities in England since the killings of Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, on 29 July.
Yesterday three men who admitted taking part in riots in Southport and Liverpool in the days after three girls were killed in a knife attack have been jailed.
Derek Drummond, 58, given a three-year sentence for punching a police officer during violence in Southport.
Declan Geiran, 29, jailed for two years and five months for violent disorder and setting fire to a police vehicle, while Liam James Riley, 40 jailed for one-and-a-half years for violent disorder and racially aggravated abusive behaviour.
The sentences the first at the Crown Court over the disorder after the cases fast-tracked as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer promised quick punishment for people involved.
