The biggest cock up in Sussex Police history.

Yes it was, but justice was done in the end the BASTARD went down 4 LIFE

But he is eligible for parole. With the double jeopardy ruling he could be tried again. But the evidence that 'sweatshirt' will still be contaminated CPP won't waste their time.

The sweatshirt was a 'pinto' and were sold at Brighton racecourse market. Bishops girlfriend even identified it as his when two copper's turned up with it when they came 'talk' to him a few days later

The biggest cock up in Sussex Police history.

I lived in Coldean at the time and my house backed onto the woods where the girls were murdered. I was 12-13 at the time and so I knew one of them and her brother...I remember it being all quite scary at the time.

The police cannot be totally blamed as other people who should have, never came forward as witnesses...Don't believe everything you read in the paper! everyone knew that there was more that 1 person involved, but there was never enough evidence to apportion the blame to two people and that's where the case fell down.

Having just googled it, it says its an unsolved case?

Russell Bishop was tried and found not guilty, no one else has been found guilty, so it is officially unsolved. Four years later he was tried and found guilty of abduction, molestation and attempted murder of a seven year old girl from whitehawk. He is apparently the longest serving prisoner not to be serving time for murder. He was sentenced to a minimum of 14 years in 1990.

In 2006 the high court ruled there is not enough evidence to retry him for the babes in the woods murder.

So still unsolved then, just readin that he is blamin Roy Whiting.

I live in the road where the two girls lived, I will not comment on the case as such, suffice it to say that there is still a big underlying feeling of anger, especially as that bastard could possibly paroled soon. I also worked with one of the girls uncles, and some of the things he told me made me sick to my stomach.

I don't live in the area but remember it like it was yesterday. Could never understand why Bishop was never done over by the locals. It seemed pretty obvious it was him and he was aloud to roam around for years afterwards. He must have been such a marked man(and I use that term very loosely), i'm amazed he is still breathing air.

Why hasn't anyone got to him.? is he in solitary or something.? I've never been inside myself but surely he should be done in? :shrug:
