Britains Most Bent Copper?
Britain's most bent copper: In the 70s, a brutal detective sergeant kept 'fitting up' young black men, ruining their lives. As his victims finally win justice, the only consolation? Derek Ridgewell died in jail - and the nation's changing for the better
Three of the so-called 'Stockwell Six' including Winston Trew (right and inset after his name was cleared) who were jailed nearly 50 years ago for crimes they did not commit, had their convictions overturned at the court of appeal. The trio, all members of the 'Windrush generation' of post-war immigrants from the West Indies, are only the latest to be cleared after having been 'fitted up' by Ridgewell (left). They wept with joy and relief but, in many ways, it is too late. Their youth is gone. Their good names have been returned only in their twilight years. As one of the judges, Sir Julian Flaux, said, with considerable understatement: 'It is most unfortunate that it has taken nearly 50 years to rectify the injustice suffered by these appellants.'
