Description

Whilst Pedder and the other officers working on this case caused a significant amount of damage to an innocent man's life, I can't deny that this was a good read. After Stagg replied to the first letter from the undercover policewoman the CPS also agreed the operation should continue. They also plotted four meetings with him, including one in which she claimed she had slit a woman’s throat during a satanic ritual before having sex with a man.

Colin’s lawyers submitted an unsuccessful complaint about Prof Britton to the British Psychological Society. He lived on a housing estate near where Rachel was killed and came to police attention when neighbours put his name forward after a Crimewatch appeal.Mr Pedder contacted Detective Constable Colin Blackman via the Tower Bridge office of the flying squad where he also used to work. Thank you to Resolve Partners and Bord na Móna for inviting me to speak at their amazing Accelerate Green Grow dinner. I didn’t know which lines or bits of the drama were real, but it felt haunting to recreate these interviews almost 30 years on. I still feel there’s confusion for some people and they still wrongly associate me with being involved somehow because I got a lot more publicity than Napper. A spokeswoman said: "The decision to prosecute Mr Pedder rested with the CPS and the attorney general.

The jury would also have heard allegations of corruption concerning two of the principal prosecution witnesses, who are themselves under investigation by CIB for alleged corruption. Police documents seen by the Guardian show that Mr Russell had an earlier involvement with DCI Battye.He later moved to Tower Bridge, where he served for more than five years with the famous 'Sweeney' (The Flying Squad) where he says, 'I spent most of my time nicking armed robbers. DC Blackman was instructed by CIB to insist on a meeting with Mr Pedder and told to pass him the microfiche. Rachel Nickell was stabbed 49 times in front of her two-year-old son in 1992 while walking on Wimbledon Common in south-west London. No one could have imagined that when beautiful young Rachel Nickell went for a walk on Wimbledon Common with her little son, it would have resulted in a wicked, sickening crime that appalled a nation; or that the police investigation that followed would cost over a million pounds.
