On the news it says they have just arrested a 44 year old man for his murder in the Broadwater Farm riots of 1985.
I never realised there was an ongoing investigation! It surprises me its taken this long for them to make an arrest, especially after the last guy they arrested, jailed and had to release |

"I'd be very interested in hearing how they are able, or are hoping, to prove this after 28 years have passed.
"
Exactly what I thought when I heard the news |

"Murder cases are never closed till there's a conviction. More so for the murder of a Police Officer."
Maybe never closed, but do they all have ongoing investigations? |

"I thought they had already banged up someone for it a long while ago? I'm sure similar diligence would be applied if it was a member of public  "
Winston Silcott....who wasn't even on the Broadwater Farm estate on the night of the horrific killing of PC Blakelock.
I hope they get it right this time, without false witnesses that they used the first time around. |

Maybe the same way they secured convictions against Stuart Hall. |

Wasnt that the victims coming forward? Sadly, PC Blakelock cannot do that?! |

No, but perhaps there's new evidence.
After all it wasn't that Hall was convicted after a trial before a jury - he confessed, presumably because he knew his chances of being acquitted were slim. |
