The Cardiff Five Summary

The Cardiff Five: Innocent Beyond Any Doubt by Satish C. Sekar

This fresh edition of Satish Sekar's classic work brings events up to date as at 2017 and includes matters that the author was prevented from publishing sooner. Among other things it deals with the collapse of the 2011 trial of police officers and others concerning the original miscarriage of justice in this case and in a new Epilogue calls for a Truth and Justice Commission. The author shows how this extreme miscarriage of justice destroyed families, divided communities and undermined confidence in the criminal justice system. The book takes the reader from the sadistic killing of Lynette White in Cardiff in 1988, via the subsequent investigation and trial to the aftermath of the folding of the 2011 trial over `lost' documents that later materialised. But above all, it deals with the hard scientific facts of the first vindication case of the DNA-age.

The Cardiff Five Reviews
