Teenager arrested after ‘Litherland Running Man’ David Francis, 63, mown down and killed by Audi that smashed into house
A TEENAGER has been arrested after the “Litherland Running Man” was killed by an Audi which smashed into a house.
David Francis, 63, died after being mown down by a black Audi S8 in a hit-and-run collision in Netherton, Merseyside at around 9.05pm on April 13.

The driver of the car, which is suspected to have been stolen during a burglary, fled on foot after the crash.
Cops had appealed directly to the driver to “do the right thing” and hand themselves in.
Merseyside Police have now said a 17-year-old male had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Mr Francis was dubbed the “Litherland Running Man” in tributes as he regularly seen jogging, sometimes only wearing short, no matter how cold it was.
He was tragically pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Tributes have been flooding in for David online, while a GoFundMe has been set up to raise money for his funeral.
One wrote: “Hurts my heart this and I never knew him.
“When something so tragic happens so close to home. It hits hard… My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
“Litherland Running Man R.I.P (Dave Francis).”
Another said: “Whenever we’d be out in the car I’d always be looking out for him saying ‘there he is kids – The Litherland Running Man’.
“The kids knew him as LRM too. He was a machine, he ran effortlessly, he just ran for the love of running.
“He was our very own modern-day Forrest Gump.
“I don’t think he actually knew how locally famous he was.
“He was a legend and he was our legend.”
Detective Inspector Colin Rennison previously said: “We are in the very early stages of establishing the circumstances of this incident.
“Officers are currently at the scene and house-to-house enquiries are being carried out.
“We will also be checking CCTV and smart doorbell footage from the area in a bid to identify the male who was driving the vehicle.
“We are interested in hearing from anyone who may have seen a dark-coloured Audi S8 being driven in the area before the collision occurred.
“Any information you have, however small you may think it is, could prove to be vital to our enquiries.
“If you witnessed this incident or have any information please contact Merseyside Police social media desk via Twitter @MerPolCC or Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ with reference 1042 of April 13.
“You can also call 101 or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
Save 63% during NordVPN’s ongoing birthday sale, plus more VPN deals as of March 9
UPDATE: Mar. 9, 2023, 3:00 p.m. EST This story has been updated.
Using a virtual private network (VPN) is one of the best ways to protect your online data and stay anonymous on the web, whether you’re trying to stream movies abroad, torrent, bypass geo-restrictions, or just plain browse. Most providers’ plans cost anywhere from $2 to $12 per month, though many lure customers in with discounted introductory rates that skyrocket after your initial term. To help you lock in a plan that’ll fit your budget in the short and long run, we’re compiling a weekly roundup of the best deals on all the VPNs we’ve personally tested. Below, you can check out our top picks as of March 9.
ExpressVPN — save 49% on a 15-month plan
Read our full review of ExpressVPN.
A reliable server network, a user-friendly app, a strong commitment to data protection, and a headquarters in the privacy-forward British Virgin Islands make ExpressVPN our favorite full-featured VPN on the market. It also happens to be one of the most expensive VPNs out there, which is why we highly recommend taking advantage of an ongoing deal on its 15-month plan: You can sign up for just $6.67/month (billed $99.95 upfront), which is 49% off its standard $12.95/month rate and covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll switch to an $8.32/month annual plan after the first term is up.

Read our full review of NordVPN.
Power users shouldn’t think twice about signing up for NordVPN, another industry giant based in the British Virgin Islands that packs robust security features like double encryption, obfuscated servers, dark web monitoring, malware protection, ad and tracker blockers, and Onion Over VPN, a tool that combines your VPN connection with the Tor network for an extra layer of privacy. The company is currently celebrating its birthday, but you get the present: For a limited time, new users can score a 25-month Complete Plan for just $5.99/month (billed $143.76 upfront) or 25-month Standard plan for just $3.49/month (billed $83.76 upfront) — no code needed. That’s 63% or 57% off its usual $11.99/month pricing and protected by a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll also receive a gift of three or 12 months of extra coverage after checkout. Keep in mind that your plan will renew annually at $8.29/month after this term ends.

Proton VPN — save 50% on a 2-year Plus plan
Read our full review of ProtonVPN.
The Swiss-based Proton VPN is another great pick for privacy wonks, with open-source apps and critical infrastructure stored inside a data center requiring biometric access. We recommend its Plus plan, which gets you full access to its server network, streaming service and P2P support, ad/tracker/malware protection, and a Tor over VPN tool that lets you direct traffic through the Tor network with a single click. Monthly subscriptions typically go for $9.99, but you’ll save 50% and pay $4.99/month (billed $119.76 upfront) if you commit to a two-year plan. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies here, too.

CyberGhost VPN — save 84% on a 27-month plan
Read our full review of CyberGhost VPN.
This Romania-based provider lays claim to the biggest, most globally diverse network we’ve seen, with special servers optimized for streaming, gaming, and P2P to maintain consistent connections. New customers can sign up for a 27-month plan at just $2.11/month (billed $56.97 upfront), which trims 84% off its standard monthly fee of $12.99. Your subscription will renew as a $4.75/month annual plan after the initial term is up, which still isn’t terrible — and like all of CyberGhost’s multi-year plans, it comes with a 45-day money-back guarantee plus free access to its ID Guard and Privacy Guard tools.
Optional add-ons include:
-
Dedicated IP — $2.50/month

TunnelBear — save 67% on a three-year Unlimited plan
Read our full review of TunnelBear.
Our go-to recommendation for anyone who’s never used the technology before, TunnelBear is a simple, lightweight VPN with an intuitive (and adorable) interface. Though it’s incapable of unblocking streaming sites and based in Canada, a Five Eyes country, it should serve you well for basic web surfing. We recommend its Unlimited plan over the free version for unlimited browsing and priority customer service, which goes for just $3.33/month (billed $120 upfront) when you enroll for three years — that’s 67% off its usual $9.99/month rate and a fixed price that won’t increase after your first term. (You may have to click through to its “Plans” page to see the offer.) There’s no money-back guarantee, unfortunately, but refunds are offered on a case-by-case basis.

Private Internet Access (PIA) — save 82% on a 27-month plan
It’s nothing particularly special (and its U.S. headquarters location isn’t ideal), but for users in search of a basic VPN with open-source apps, built-in ad blocking, and a free email breach monitor, PIA is worth a look. Pick its longest plan and you’ll pay just $2.19/month (billed $56.94 upfront) for 27 months of coverage, shaving 82% off its regular rate of $11.99/month; that does include a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll switch to an annual plan at $4.75/month after the initial term is over.
Optional add-ons include:
-
Antivirus by PIA — $1.45/month
$4.50/month(save 68%) for two years -
Dedicated IP — $2.50/month

IPVanish — save 72% on a two-year plan
Read our full review of IPVanish.
Another middle-of-the-road pick with a U.S. headquarters (boo), IPVanish makes up for a lack of advanced security features with a minimalist, straightforward app and support for unlimited simultaneous connections. You can get your first two years of service for just $3.33/month (billed $79.99 upfront), which takes 72% off its usual monthly rate of $11.99 and includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. After that term is up, you’ll get bumped to $7.50/month on an annual plan.
