Aye it affected my mam badly as well. I would have been 8 but my brother was 2. Shopping trips were like a military operation for ages afterwards.Can remember at the time it properly sent my mam off the deep end - If it was 28 years ago I would have been 16 and she properly freaked out - wouldn't let me out of the house (bear in mind I was 6ft 2 by this point) for weeks and I got properly pissed off. Then over the years I found out what had gone on - was horrific.
Worked in the triad a few times , hmrc building above the shopping centre , mate from work was in Liverpool when the trial was held , he said it was an awful uneasy atmosphereIt feels like it was longer than 28 years ago. I remember it but couldn't possibly read about it, I remember how much it freaked my mam out at the time
It’s sat with me for life because I was the same age as they boys doing it. There’s never been a point in my life I’ve come close to thinking it was acceptable, so I can’t ever work out what was going through their minds. It scares the shit outta me that other humans have a very different look on things28 years ago today (was a Friday also) its been a long time now but still haunts me more then any other case.
Same. My mother went off the deep endAye it affected my mam badly as well. I would have been 8 but my brother was 2. Shopping trips were like a military operation for ages afterwards.
I was doing work experience at Dryburn Hospital at the time. I was spending a week in the Child Psychology Unit, basically typing up case notes of young patients who had witnessed/involved in various trauma (assault, witness to parent's harm, etc). It was mentally draining listening to the consultant case notes.
On last day within that unit one of the child psychologists had to rush off to catch a train to Liverpool(?). I later learned from person who did the following week's work experience, that the psychologist had been called down to sit in on the police interviews with two lads suspected (at the time) of being responsible of torture and murder of that young bairn.
They get let out one day with new identities funded by us.... Death penalty for me... That poor kid and his family.... 28 yrs of torture
