UK killers : volume 2. F to M
Faulkner, Barry2023
Book
Volume 2. F to M in the series UK KILLERS. This lists 114 UK male and female killers from 1900 to 2021, their lives, crimes and punishments. The facts and information for this book has been gathered from court transcripts, newspaper reports of the time, various internet pages and police records where available. It is quite baffling to see the number of cases that have been closed for 100 years and where even FOI requests have been turned down by the Home Office. I can only assume that those involved were/are ‘names’ in the political or celebrity fields with friends in high places. Some other cases have their court papers redacted and in two of those every word is redacted. Take special notice of the cases where the original sentence has been commuted at a much later date when the Court of Appeal has allowed evidence the original trial judge did not. One has to ask why not? You, like me, may come to the conclusion that a few, very few, of those executed may well have suffered a terrible miscarriage of justice.
