An 18-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of PC Dave Phillips.

Phillips died in the early hours of Monday, 5 October, after he was struck by a stolen pick-up vehicle in Wallasey, Merseyside. The vehicle mounted a central reservation before it hit the officer.

Clayton Williams, 18, is also charged with attempting to wound another police officer, burglary, and aggravated theft of a motor vehicle. He was remanded into custody to appear before Liverpool Crown Court on Friday.

A second man, 30-year-old Phillip Stuart, has also been charged with burglary and aggravated unauthorised taking of a car. He was remanded in custody until 22 October. He will also appear before Liverpool Crown Court for a preliminary hearing.

Three women, aged between 19 and 59, and a 39-year old man, who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender earlier this week, have all been released on bail pending further inquiries.
