Sky News chaos as Southport report interrupted by furious protesters live on air

A protester interrupted a report this afternoon, outside Liverpool Crown Court. The news channel was reporting on the sentencing of when a man with a sign cut in, interrupting presenting from Sarah-Jane Mee.

The court was currently on a lunch break, with Rudakuana removed from the dock temporarily, as the cameras showed the scenes outside. Since cameras were not allowed in the court room, the media gathered outside – attracting the attention of protesters.

A man appeared holding a large white sign with an angry message scrawled upon it. He stood silently, closely to the reporter, as he held the sign up in clear view of the cameras.

It read: “Kids die, media lie.” Another man seemed to accompany him as they stood together, trying their best to get their message across.

Earlier in the day, Sarah was visibly overwhelmed with emotion while reporting on the Southport killings.

Acknowledging the distressing nature of the events, she said: “Right, sorry it’s just so distressing isn’t it?”

She went on to explain: “Look we’re here for those girls and their families so try not to get upset because it is such an important day for them and this horror that came to their door.”

It comes as the Southport murderer, , is .

Some chilling details have emerged as he has his day in court.
