Liam Aitchison

why did he leave home? all the news is centred around the horrible murder but why would a young kid leave his parents and sleep rough? nobody seems to be covering this bit of the story

I had no idea what you were talking about. It's always useful to post a link to the story.

"This bit of the story" isn't the story now. Lots of young people have rows at home and leave for a while. Fortunately, few end up as this unfortunate youngster did.

It ain't a great mystery. He was unhappy when his mother anf father split up.

// He was unhappy when his father Norrie remarried and went to live on Eriskay with new wife Claire. Liam split his time between family members across the Hebrides. //

Owner2 as the mother of teenage boys I couldn't believe it when I read that this 16 yr old was sleeping rough, I thought it a bit rich that his father said "Liam was extremely popular" - obviously not popular enough for someone to give the child a bed! And "his death brought great sorrow to all the communities" - in my book, that's guilt.
