he hunt for the racist killers of a black teenager who was left with an axe embedded in his skull in an unprovoked attack is continuing.
A-Level student Anthony Walker, 18, died in hospital after a gang of up to four white men attacked him in Huyton, Merseyside, on Friday.
He had been taunted at a bus stop with his white girlfriend and a male cousin. They fled but were set upon in a park.
Police believe the killers are local, and want to community to give them up.
'Torrent of abuse'
Mr Walker had spent the evening with his girlfriend, who attended the same sixth-form college in Huyton.
Merseyside Police said that as the couple waited for a bus outside the Huyton Park pub with Mr Walker's cousin they were subjected to a "torrent of racial abuse" by a man in his 20s wearing a hooded top.
Police want to trace two men who were seen talking to the man shortly after he hurled the abuse.
Mr Walker and his companions did not retaliate to the abuse and left to find another bus stop. But they were followed and as they walked through McGoldrick Park they were attacked by a gang of three or four men.
Mr Walker's girlfriend and cousin saw a man carrying an axe bludgeon him, and ran to get help. When they returned minutes later they found him slumped on the ground with massive head injuries.
The axe was embedded in his skull.
Police hope CCTV footage from a camera just yards away from where Mr Walker was attacked will provide vital clues.
Mr Walker was taken to Whiston Hospital and later transferred to Walton neurological centre where he died at 0525 BST on Saturday.
'Despicable act'
Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Bernard Lawson said: "What we are dealing with here is an unprovoked and vicious attack on a young black man which we believe to be racially motivated.
"This was a despicable act and we are absolutely determined to find the people responsible."
Mr Lawson urged local people to help catch the killers.
"We believe the offenders are local and we believe it is the responsibility of the local community to give these people up," he said.
"There are a lot of decent people in the local area who are absolutely shocked at what has happened."
Police said there have been a series of racially motivated attacks in the area, and were not ruling out a connection.
Several floral tributes have been left at the scene of the murder.
Mr Walker was a churchgoer who was also a keen basketball player. The BBC's Richard Wells said local people had told him that those who knew him said he "wouldn't hurt a fly".
Mr Lawson added: "Anthony was a young Christian studying for his A-levels and wanting to be a lawyer.
"Those dreams for him and his family are now dashed."

Read about this today, made pg3 news over here. Absolutely sickening story, i can't believe how barbaric the attack was. I feel especially for the g/f and cousin that had to come back with help to the scene of him lying there with an axe still embedded in his head, can't imagine how horrifying that would have been.
RIP

same shit happenned again too, only this time it was a black guy who stabbed a white bloke and killed him on a bus for no reason. even though i'm against the death penalty it does make you wonder we don't really have an effective penal system to protect us from this vermin because even if they do get locked up they get out someday.
