TRIBUTES AS CAMPAIGNER DIES
TRIBUTES have been paid to a 'visionary' mother who set up an anti-crime charity after her son was killed.
Patsy McKie set up Mothers Against Violence after her son Dorrie was shot dead in Hulme in 1999, aged 20. He was one of three young men killed within a 10-day period that summer in Manchester.
No one has been convicted of his murder, but a gun was linked to the crime and two men found in possession of it were jailed for firearms related offences. Patsy, 76, continued to run the charity in the intervening 25 years, providing support and education to help young people avoid gun and knife crime.
