New evidence suggests Essex Boys murders suspects are innocent

thesun.co.uk

Michael Steele, 82, remains in prison despite being cleared for release by the Parole Board. The Justice Secretary has blocked his release, citing concerns over the decision's legality. Steele has always maintained his innocence in the 1995 Essex Boys murders. Former detective David McKelvey claims to have new evidence proving Steele and co-accused Jack Whomes are innocent. He argues that key testimony from a police informant was unreliable and that the timeline of events does not support the prosecution's case. The Criminal Cases Review Commission is currently reviewing the case for the third time. Steele's situation remains uncertain as he continues to serve his sentence in a high-security prison.
