Francis Harrison

Public criminal case information in the UK reveals details for at least three distinct individuals named Francis Harrison.

1. Francis Harrison (convicted of murder in 1996)

In September 1996, a 16-year-old Francis Harrison was found guilty of the murder of his mother, Eleanor Harrison, at the High Court in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was convicted of punching, kicking, stamping on, and repeatedly stabbing his mother, who suffered 24 stab wounds and up to 20 severe blows to her body and head. The incident occurred in April 1996 at their home in Alexander Avenue, Falkirk. At the time of the murder, Harrison was on bail, appealing a sentence for a separate offense. He was sentenced to be detained without limit of time.

2. Francis Harrison (charged with weapon possession in 2025, jailed for drug and weapon offenses in 2026)

In May 2025, a 20-year-old Francis Harrison, of no fixed abode, was charged with possessing a prohibited weapon after a converted blank cartridge-firing pistol was recovered from a house in Walton, Liverpool. He was remanded into custody to appear at Liverpool, Knowsley and St Helens adult remand court.

In July 2026, a 21-year-old Francis Harrison, also of no fixed address, was jailed in Liverpool for two years and eight months. He pleaded guilty to possession of heroin with intent to supply, two counts of affray, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, and possession of a bladed article in a public place. This individual's involvement in drug supply was linked to a firearm bearing the DNA of a fellow dealer, David McDonald, which was recovered from another home.

Public court records also indicate scheduled appearances for "05E30082825 FRANCIS HARRISON" and "93JD0794924 FRANCIS HARRISON" at Liverpool Crown Court on May 26, 2026, before His Honour Judge Watson KC.
