00:00The arrest is the pivotal moment in any investigation if you get it wrong, then it's game over
00:16Police officer with a taser
00:30Everything they're doing is on body warm video
00:41Police!
00:43Everything they're doing would be examined by defence lawyers
00:47They can't make any mistakes
00:51Fire, I've been telling you things wrong
01:00Police have made a renewed appeal for two runaway parents to hand themselves in
01:13Constance Martin and Mark Gordon are thought to be sleeping rough after going missing with their newborn child last month
01:20The risk at the moment only increases day by day for me when we don't have a confirmed sighting
01:26And my call to Constance and Mark is to think of the baby and reach out to us
01:44When the police deal with big high-profile cases there is already a massive amount of pressure to solve that crime
01:51Because you are being watched and you are being watched by everyone
01:54Hello, sorry mate
01:56You'll stop for a second
01:58In this case the coverage was massive
02:01And that was because of the people that were involved
02:05It was headline fuel from day one
02:08Stop alright, well I need to speak to you
02:13Well, because potentially I think you may have been in national news
02:17There's a kind of resistance in a way that's pretty futile because their photographs and their names are everywhere in this hunt to try to catch them
02:34I don't know whether this is denying reality or a tactic that they hope might buy them more time and prevent them from being arrested
02:49Put the stick down and I'll explain
02:51Alright
02:52Put the stick, let go of the stick
02:53The stick in your hand
02:55Alright
02:56Let go of the stick
02:57Four times the officer had to ask
02:59Him to put that stick down
03:01Four
03:04Yeah, already we can see he's not going to be playing ball here at all
03:07Right, at this moment in time, until I can confirm who you are, you're both under arrest on submission of child neglect
03:11So you don't have to say anything, but it may harm you to fence
03:13If you don't mention when questioned, something that's lying in court, anything that they're giving them
03:16Do you have to understand?
03:20When Constance was arrested, I don't think I would describe her as being fully compliant
03:26Look at the photo
03:27Where's the child, madam?
03:28Where is the child, please?
03:29Daddy bear
03:30Yeah
03:31But the police are obviously well prepared, they're obviously well-breathed
03:34They've got a photo of them on their phones, of each of them
03:38To try to make it easier to identify them
03:40Constance
03:41Constance, how about that, whoever you are
03:43Alright, where's your child?
03:47Have we searched for it?
03:49I've just asked, I'm going to undo it now
03:52How level are you?
03:53Why are we under arresting?
03:54You're under arrest for child neglect
03:57Where is the child?
03:58You are under arrest for consuming the birth of a child
04:00How good, that's not arrestable
04:01It's alright
04:03Section 27, Offence Against the Person Act
04:05Exposed a child under the age of 2 years
04:07Where by life or health to be endangered
04:10Do you understand what you've been arrested for?
04:13The last time you've been arrested
04:14Right
04:15You can't arrest someone for
04:16My pregnancy
04:18Alright
04:19There is a child missing
04:22And she's concerned that they've potentially arrested her for wrong legislation
04:26Is she being ignorant?
04:29Is she being difficult?
04:31Is it deliberate?
04:33It's baffling
04:35Part of the M61 motorway has been closed to traffic this evening
04:54After a car burst into flames on the hard shoulder
04:56It's understood it broke out at around 6.20pm
05:00And that the driver and passenger escaped before the blaze took hold
05:05When the police turned up at the burning car
05:08Outside the vehicle they found things like nappies, dummies, bibs, rompers
05:15The kind of stuff that would make you think whoever was in the car had a baby with them
05:21What happened next was the police searched a car
05:28Where they found something that confirmed their suspicions
05:31A placenta wrapped in a towel
05:36So it already started off quite concerning
05:38They're at a car fire
05:40There's evidence a baby's been born there with no medical attention
05:43But then they come across a passport
05:44They find out it's Constance Martin
05:46And when police dug into her background
05:50That's when alarm bells started ringing
05:53Because her and her partner Mark Gordon
05:57Had had four children already
05:59That had all been taken into care
06:01So this went from a missing person case
06:04To a potentially child protection emergency
06:08Over the next few hours
06:11Police would discover much more about the car's occupants
06:14And launch a search that would grip the entire country
06:19Constance Martin was born into a wealthy aristocratic family
06:33And had a life of luxury certainly compared to many people
06:36Her family, they had a home, Critchell house
06:42Set in about 5,000 acres of land
06:45And they have links to the royal family
06:49Her grandmother was a god-daughter of the late Queen Mother
06:54And her father Napier was a page to the late Queen
06:58Back in the 1970s
07:00Along with the stately home upbringing
07:06There was a private school with £30,000 a year fees
07:10Then Leeds University
07:14Where a degree in Arabic
07:16Helped her land a job with Qatar's international TV news channel
07:21Constance worked at Al Jazeera for about a year
07:24She left to become a freelance photographer
07:27And then went to acting school
07:29And it was about this time that she met Mark Gordon
07:33When her life changed dramatically
07:35She was originally described by her friends as being really sociable
07:40Really outgoing, constantly posing on social media
07:44Sort of living her best life really
07:46She had everything
07:48But then she sort of walks away from all of that
07:51She doesn't post anymore
07:53She doesn't speak to friends, doesn't speak to family
07:56She disappears into this relationship with him
08:01Martin's family disapproved of Gordon
08:04Who was 13 years older and had a criminal record
08:08That rift widened when she had four children
08:12And her privileged, orderly life gave way to chaos
08:17They never stay in one place too long
08:21They are always on the move
08:23There was reports of them damaging rental properties
08:27When they lived there
08:29At one point they were even living in a camper van
08:31And that's when the children are actually taken into care
08:33Because the lifestyle is actually really unstable
08:36Certainly for young kids
08:37When the car catches fire
08:49They are desperate to get away from the scene
08:54Mark Gordon approaches a car
08:57That's pulled over
08:59The driver's filming what's happening
09:01When the fire brigade...
09:03Where to mate?
09:05Nearest Weston
09:07Nearest Weston
09:09The driver says he'll take them
09:11Once the emergency services arrive
09:13I'm not bothered about that
09:15They don't want to wait for the emergency services
09:17Perhaps unsurprisingly
09:19And Constance Martin manages to persuade another driver
09:22To give them a lift
09:24Which takes them to Bolton
09:26Which is probably the nearest town from where they were
09:28Once the police have ascertained that they've actually fled
09:31They'll know that the people involved haven't got any transport
09:34So where are they going to go?
09:36They're going to head to a train station, bus station
09:38Some transport hub to try and move on
09:40And these transport hubs are well lit
09:44And they've got excellent CCTV
09:47At Bolton Bus Interchange
09:50Three miles from the fire scene
09:52Officers found what they were looking for
09:55Here we see Martin and Gordon entering the bus exchange
10:00And what stands out is both of them are wet
10:03It's a horrible, damp, rainy night
10:06Once they've entered, they begin to look up
10:09And it would seem to be they're checking the departure board
10:13They're looking for where they can go, how they can get there
10:16Martin's wearing a burgundy puffer jacket
10:19Which is quite distinctive
10:22But the critical thing is she's holding something
10:26Underneath her jacket
10:28Very gently cradling something
10:30There seems to be something sticking out
10:32That would appear to be a baby under there
10:37As a senior detective, I'd classify this as a very high risk missing persons case
10:44That child needs to be found
10:46You'll stop for a second
10:50Stop for a second?
10:52Stop for a second?
10:54Stop for a second?
10:55Well, I need to speak to you
10:57Where is this you from?
10:58Well, because potentially I think you may have been in national news
11:00The arrest of Constance Martin and Mark Gordon
11:15Marks the end of a nationwide hunt and seven weeks of confusion for police
11:21When you look into cases like this, you always try and find a pattern
11:26So if you're looking for anyone who's wanted or going on the run, you look, right, where are their friends and family located?
11:32What ties do they have to local areas?
11:34Where's the phones going? Where's the money withdrawals being made?
11:37But because they didn't have a plan, it makes it really hard for police to track them
11:42Along with the Bolton bus station CCTV, police retrieved more footage of the couple getting into a cab outside
12:00Road traffic cameras showed this had taken them 35 miles west to Liverpool
12:08They stayed for just a few hours before embarking on a much longer journey east
12:15In Liverpool, the couple approached a taxi driver and asked him to take them to Harwich
12:20He said yes, but this would cost £400 cash up front, enough to put many people off
12:28But let's not forget that although Constance Martin was estranged from her family
12:32She still had an independent trust fund income of more than £3000 a month
12:38So the couple said yes to the taxi driver, paid cash up front, and off they went
12:50With the disappearance now making national news, the public were on alert
13:03After checking out of their Harwich Hotel at 7am, there was a reported sighting in nearby Colchester two hours later
13:11But by midday, they were 60 miles away, in the capital
13:15So the police have done an extensive CCTV trial, painstaking work
13:21And they've found Martin and Gordon as they arrive in a taxi in East London
13:25And this is the first glimpse we have initially of the possibility of the baby
13:30We see Martin in this distinctive burgundy puffer jacket
13:35But once she's getting out of the car, she's been handed something down
13:39We can see it looks like a tiny child moving, which then we get a glimpse of her head
13:46But then she turns away
13:49But then the next shot we get on the high street
13:52We can actually see a tiny baby, possibly a few days old, under her jacket
13:58The problem is it's January, it's absolutely freezing
14:02That child needs warmth and food
14:05Inside a kebab shop, Martin puts the baby in a buggy
14:11Which Gordon had bought from a local store
14:15Till records showed he'd also purchased a tent and sleeping bags
14:20Police now feared the couple were planning to leave London
14:25Sleep rough and attempt to remain under the radar
14:29We know from the movements that they've been across the United Kingdom
14:36And I think now my plea to the members of the public is they could be anywhere within the United Kingdom
14:44In any town, in any city
14:48As police renewed their search appeals
14:50The media began publishing more information about Constance Martin's unlikely partner
15:00Mark Gordon's background is actually deeply disturbing
15:03He was born in Birmingham before moving over to America
15:07When he was 14, he broke into his neighbour's property
15:14Held a woman up at knife point and sexually assaulted her
15:17All while her kids were asleep in the next room
15:20He gets convicted of that crime
15:24Gets 40 years
15:26Serves 20 and then is released and deported back to the UK
15:29Gordon's deportation was in 2010
15:34By 2016, he was living with Martin
15:40In 2017, he was in trouble with the law again
15:44After one of their children was born in hospital
15:48They actually were refusing to give away their names
15:52Police turn up and again, they're very obstructive
15:54But what happens next is Mark Gordon gets very aggressive
15:59Attacks a couple of these officers whilst he's trying to be restrained
16:03Now all of this is in a maternity setting
16:06With children around and he acts like that
16:09To me that says
16:11That this person is extremely unpredictable
16:14Doesn't know how to act
16:16It's temper first children later
16:20Four years after the assault conviction
16:22Social services received reports of a domestic violence incident
16:27It was then that all four children were formally put up for adoption
16:33A week after the car fire and an early morning shopping trip for Constance Martin
16:47By now, she and Gordon had left London
16:51And travelled 60 miles south
16:54What's concerning here is her appearance
16:58She looks run down, this is a new mum
17:00She's changed her clothes
17:02But she looks dishevelled
17:04And the food that she's buying
17:06Just doesn't fit with what a new mum would be buying for a baby
17:09So, again, this would heighten the fears of the police
17:12Knowing that they have to find this couple as soon as possible
17:16The items she's buying
17:19Fizzy drinks, crisps, sweets
17:21You can eat them on the move
17:23You can eat them camping out
17:24You don't have to cook them because they haven't got access to any of that
17:27So, whilst it's also a convenience food
17:30And she's really not taking care of herself
17:32That food is almost out of necessity as well
17:34Following the New Haven sighting
17:48The police hunt and media coverage was growing ever more intense
17:52The searches here are expected to continue long into the night
17:58Moving from place to place
18:00They chose to go on the run
18:02It was then that Martin's father, Napier, made an emotional appeal for her to return
18:09Darling Constance, even though we remain estranged at the moment
18:14I stand by, as I have always done and as the family has always done
18:21To do whatever is necessary for your safe return to us
18:28I beseech you to find a way to turn yourself and your wee one into the police as soon as possible
18:36So you and he or she can be protected
18:39I think anyone who's a parent would appreciate the emotions he must have been going through
18:47I mean it's not an easy thing to do anyway, let alone to do so publicly
18:51And when your life has effectively had a spotlight shone upon it
18:56And I also wish you to understand
19:00You are much, much loved, whatever the circumstances
19:04For more than a month after that appeal, the search continued
19:14Then came a 999 call
19:19From a member of the public who'd spotted a couple outside a convenience store
19:24Cold, dirty and hungry
19:27Hello, hi mate
19:31You stop for a second
19:37Put the stick down
19:39Drop it, now
19:49Oh, should I get the photo on that?
19:51Where is the child madam?
19:53There is a lot at stake here
19:54They finally found these two after weeks of searching
19:58But there is no sign of the baby
20:00Where's your child, my friend?
20:03Where's the child?
20:05In a minute, where's your child?
20:08Where's your child?
20:10In a minute, where's the child?
20:13Where's your child?
20:15In a minute, where's your child?
20:17Where's the child?
20:18In a minute, where's your child?
20:19In a minute, where's your child?
20:20Where's your child?
20:21Is that aggression necessary?
20:22He's not being aggressive
20:23Of course not
20:24I'm not doing anything to this, have you?
20:26Where's the child?
20:27I got food
20:31It must have been...
20:33It must have been awful for the police there
20:36Because the only two people that know where this child is
20:40Are giving no answers
20:42We want to know where the child is
20:44Is that my food?
20:45Is the child alive?
20:48Is your child alive?
20:50Where's the child?
20:52Where's the child?
20:54You can't put into words what that feels like
20:57It's almost like torture
21:06The couple had been camping on a nearby nature reserve
21:12After another 48 hours of searching
21:15Police found the baby
21:18Dead
21:20Inside a supermarket bag
21:22In a disused allotment shed
21:26Her name was Victoria
21:30Detectives believed she'd died of hypothermia
21:33At some point during the couple's time on the run
21:35But Martin claimed she'd accidentally smothered her
21:39After falling asleep exhausted
21:41Two parents have each been jailed for 14 years for causing the death of their baby daughter through negligence
21:45It follows an earlier trial in which Constance Martin and Mark Gordon were convicted of concealing the child's birth and perverting the course of justice
22:03The judge said they'd shown no genuine remorse for their actions
22:14During the couple's two Old Bailey trials experts were unable to give the exact cause of baby Victoria's death
22:25But one other question was answered
22:29Why had Martin and Gordon gone on the run in the first place?
22:32They'd had children taken into care already and they were terrified of losing this one
22:40Constance has had four children taken off her
22:44Four
22:46So I suppose when she's pregnant again about to give birth
22:50She knows full well that the second she steps foot inside that hospital
22:53The police are going to be called
22:54Social services are going to be called
22:56She's seen it happen already
22:58They know what the outcome of this is going to be
23:01And I suppose through that fear and desperation they think the only way to avoid it is to run
23:06I don't think they wanted this to be the outcome
23:11But it's not surprising that it ended so tragically
23:15You
23:19it
23:30X
23:36When
23:38when you're arresting somebody you're starting the legal process for them so it's really important
23:59to get everything right get it wrong then frankly it's game over you lose the investigation
24:12you could lose your career most importantly you deprive the victim and family of justice
24:19in this case the police by their own admission have already messed up once they can't afford to have
24:40that happen a second time so in making the arrest it's absolutely critical that the officers do it
24:47in as professional and legally compliant way as is absolutely possible David Boyd 50 years old
24:57finally facing the consequences of a horrific crime committed in his mid-20s
25:06the murder of schoolgirl Nikki Allen
25:13just leave your phone there for a moment just put your hands out first
25:15yeah yeah okay
25:25I'll give us a second I'll just check those cuffs to make sure that they're locked not too tight
25:30they're so polite to him aren't they I mean even to the extent of worrying about whether
25:35his handcuffs are too tight or not
25:36do you have any medication that you need to take yeah so we need to take some with you if you've got
25:42some it's like before they've come in they've decided we've got to be really really courteous
25:49at every point in this operation
25:51well part of the team that's reinvestigating the murder of Nikki Allen yeah okay part of that
25:57investigation has really suspect that you may have had some involvement in that okay
26:02so the officers have not given a lot away but they've said the investigation has shown that he
26:11might have had some involvement in it and then as he's being arrested on suspicion of the murder
26:24he is a big sort of almost like it's like a sort of deflation a big exhalation of breath
26:31and he looks away to his left as if you know with with hindsight you could say that you know the
26:40game's up now you know he's he's been hiding all this time and now so so this is it this is the moment
26:46I've been dreading for all those years the east end of Sunderland home to the city's docks and in
27:06the early 90s the Garths four blocks of tightly packed tenements Nikki Allen was seven and lived
27:19on the ground floor of Weirgarth with her mum Sharon everyone who met Nikki said she was a happy and
27:28friendly girl and I think you know her smile just lights up every photograph she's in you know I think
27:33that's one of the things that I remember most at the time that looking at the photographs and just
27:38seeing this luminous smile at around 10 p.m. on a mid-autumn night Nikki left her grandfather's
27:51flat to walk back to her own just two floors below but she never arrived
28:03when a child goes missing particularly a young child in an area where they know very well out of
28:12the blue that is literally the the call that stops everything there is nothing bigger than a potentially
28:19abducted child and all missing children of that age initially are treated as potentially abducted
28:25children a huge overnight search drew a blank
28:32but next morning two neighbors found Nikki's coat and shoes outside the old exchange a derelict building
28:44just 300 yards away they went inside when they found Nikki's body she'd been brutally brutally murdered
28:57she had 37 stab wounds to her little body she'd been beaten around the head with something like a brick
29:04and then to cap it all she'd been dragged down a set of steps with her head banging on the steps as
29:12she's gone down into this basement area to hide her whoever could have done that to her needed catching
29:19straight away you won't think it happens in my way but she lived but just don't think the kids have to suffer
29:27they'll be kept in the house because they're not even safe I mean it happens in the gaff didn't it they're
29:31not even safe police had one lead a neighbor who said she'd seen Nikki outside the local boar's head
29:41pub before following a man in the opposite direction to her home grainy street camera footage backed up the
29:50story and provided one further clue this was in the early days of cctv and the footage was incredibly shaky
30:02but what you could see was that Nikki was skipping happily along behind him which suggested that she knew him
30:08already and that she trusted him and that she was you know that she was going along without thinking that anything
30:13bad was particularly happening to her from eyewitness reports police released an artist's impression
30:20of the man she'd followed soon afterwards they arrested a 24 year old loner who lived in the same
30:28tenement block as Nikki George Heron was quite a misfit you know he would have been perceived as an
30:37oddball he had these oversized glasses he wore a baseball cap all the time he was really into Doctor Who
30:43I think he probably fitted the bill of what the police might have imagined the person who carried out
30:49this crime would have been like heron initially denied knowing Nikki but then admitted he did but what he
31:01wouldn't confess to was the murder I didn't come up well I believe you did I believe you did I've interviewed a
31:12a lot of people over the years and I would go as far as to say that the interview of George Heron was
31:20probably one of the worst and most oppressive interviews that I've ever heard recorded on the
31:25tape you are involved and you know what happened and they don't in UK police interviews there are three
31:33general principles no threats no promises no lies those officers lied to heron that girl was seen
31:40with you near the Bo's head public house on that Wednesday night within seven or eight minutes of that
31:49saying by a witness you were seen with her in the door street that was a lie they had a witness that saw a man
31:58with Nikki at the relevant time that evening but at no time did that witness say it was George Heron and in
32:06fact we know that later on there was an identification parade and that witness didn't pick George Heron out
32:12you are involved and you know what happened to me I don't I'm sorry George you do you know his denials
32:22were checkable but the police just had him in their sights and there was no way they were going to let
32:30him out without a yes no George come on tell the truth you tell me the truth you know George are you
32:40you know it after three days of interrogation and more than a hundred denials Heron finally did admit
32:55to murder but at his trial the following year the judge ruled he'd confessed under duress and ordered
33:04the jury to find him not guilty the family were completely devastated and more so and I think
33:11cruelly because the police continued to say that George Heron was guilty they went on believing that
33:17this guilty man had got away with it basically workmen boarded up windows at the accused man's house after
33:25the anger of an estate spilt over the community would have been convinced that George Heron was Nikki's
33:31killer and he was dead prison for the rest of his life when he was acquitted all of that glimmer of
33:39light that they might have had that might have come out of Nikki's tragic death was snuffed out
33:44because in their mind a guilty man was now walking free and could go and do this to other girls
34:01for years after George Heron's acquittal Northumbria police refused a full reinvestigation into Nikki Allen's
34:15murder but one woman was determined to make them reconsider her mother Sharon Henderson
34:24Sharon was amazing she was completely relentless she wrote to the Queen she wrote to politicians she started
34:34petitions she had marches she did her own house to house inquiries so gradually just through Sharon's sheer
34:43determination there seemed to be a little bit of momentum and pressure on the force that hadn't been there before
34:49following advances in DNA testing Northumbria police finally did form a team to reinvestigate the case
35:03one of its first and successful tasks was to reanalyze items of Nikki's clothing which had been kept in
35:15storage they found DNA on a t-shirt and a pair of leggings and a t-shirt was the last item that Nikki was
35:23seen in her DNA and another person's the police knew that they were looking for a man so they analyzed the
35:31DNA from over 900 men that were living around East Sunderland at the time of the murder the mass DNA screening
35:41enabled police to finally and definitively rule out George Heron as the killer and instead find a
35:49probable match with a career criminal who'd since left Sunderland and moved 30 miles south he was David Boyd
35:58just checking this post to make sure that they're there they're locked and not too tight we'll be
36:12taking you to Northumbria which is uh opening in the castle area when people are arrested they react in
36:19different ways and depending quite often about how many times it's happened to them before and we know
36:25that Boyd has had 22 court appearances for 45 offenses in his lifetime so I'm not entirely surprised that
36:34the fact of the arrest has kept him so calm the fact of the arrest is almost an occupational hazard for
36:41you know I find that an incredibly interesting question if you're an innocent person the obvious
36:56thing to do is to protest your innocence over and over and over again it wasn't me I didn't do it what
37:04are you talking about where on earth does this come from let's just get this sorted out not what
37:10evidence have you got what evidence you got anyway that is the question of a guilty man not the question
37:17of an innocent man in 1992 David Boyd was 25 years old and living just three doors away from Nicky
37:32Allen's grandfather he bore a resemblance to the artist's impression put out at the time
37:39but there was another reason to suspect him whoever killed Nicky had pushed her through a window that
37:47was six foot off the ground he then dragged her downstairs after stabbing her repeatedly taking her body to the
37:56basement as this was dark it was an October night somebody wouldn't just come upon this building they
38:06would have to have intimate knowledge of the layout and and be premeditated because they know exactly where they're
38:12going no lights are on and Nicky's body went from outside through that window down those stairs
38:18as Boyd knew Nicky and her family police had interviewed him soon after the murder incredibly he told them he was
38:32familiar with the building and had even visited it just a few nights earlier supposedly looking for pigeons
38:40you know and I know and everyone else in Sunderland knows that Nicky's body was found inside the old
38:53exchange building in Hendon on the morning of the 8th of October 1992 and she'd been murdered so if I show you
39:01what I thought was that night you might give it a confirm then following his arrest Boyd repeated his story
39:09about visiting the building is this so you can remember the back of the building just for the record that's
39:16TR5 that looks like quite overgrown and there's a bricked up window there and then we've got TR6
39:25that was when we went through I think right okay so you're putting there's a window there that looks
39:30half-bordered up or maybe three-quarters boarded up yeah yeah comfort in there in the middle you
39:36would go in there yeah all right how how high is that because it's it's difficult for my picture
39:41to view can you remember how high that is to get into I know it's pretty high because I pulled myself up
39:46Boyd said his visit to the old exchange was the reason for his DNA being
39:55on Nicky's clothes according to him she must have brushed against surfaces that he'd touched just
40:03a few nights earlier the problem with this explanation is the DNA was found under Nicky's
40:11armpits on the t-shirt now you don't get this type of DNA contact by brushing or touching something so it's
40:20likely that the actual explanation was that the DNA came from him lifting her up pushing it through
40:26that window the complexity of the DNA evidence meant police had to conduct years more tests and research
40:37but in 2022 they finally charged him with Nicky's murder
40:50at Boyd's trial prosecutors said he'd lured Nicky away exploiting the fact that she knew and trusted him
40:59he intended to sexually assault her but when she screamed he struck her with a brick
41:07then pushed her inside the old exchange where he stabbed her to death
41:16in the years afterwards Boyd committed more sex offenses
41:20in 1997 he indecently exposed himself to three young girls in a park and in 1999 he assaulted a nine-year-old
41:39but it would be another 18 years before police finally connected him to Nicky's murder
41:45after a trial lasting three weeks the jury took just two and a half hours to return its unanimous
41:55guilty verdict the judge jailed Boyd for life with a minimum of 29 years
42:05after the verdict Northumbria police apologized to George Herron for the serious and lasting impact of
42:12their wrongful prosecution back in 1992 and to Sharon Henderson the mother who'd had to fight more than 30
42:21years for justice it's what went through your mind and you finally heard that word guilty
42:30the injustice of a doll and that Nicky's case was not didn't know properly and then at this month
42:37it's in relation to Nicky's mum I cannot begin to imagine what her life has been like having lost her
42:46her darling innocent little girl
42:50what she's suffered as a mother the way the criminal justice system most notably the police
42:57have let her down and treated her I think is just beyond my understanding
43:05have you managed to keep the strength to carry on all this time
43:15she's been really strong through this I think she deserves a lot of recognition a lot of praise
43:21for what she's done but also her heart should go out to her too
43:34I just love it
43:37don't go out to her too
43:39I think that she looks like that she's got a lot of advice
43:42of living things
43:43that's what she's in mind
43:45and that's what she's saying
43:46I want super excited to be here
43:47I know really
43:48that's what she's doing
43:50and that's what she's doing
43:50and that's what she's doing
43:52in the same way
43:52and I also love her
43:52that's what she does
43:54and that's what she's doing
43:55along with me
43:57and that's what she's doing
43:57I'm going to be able to come
