Christopher Coverdale

Innocents
How Justice Failed Stefan Kiszko and Lesley Molseed
Excerpt:

"At 1:45 p.m. on the Sunday Christopher Coverdale, a self-employed contractor from Rochdale, drove past the scene.  As he approached the lay-by he saw a man and a little girl on the embankment above the lay-by.  His attention was on these people, so that he had not noticed any car, he thought it foolhardy to be on the moor in poor weather conditions, especially with a child. He recalled the child was wearing a blue, hip-length gabardine coat with the hood up. He believed the child to be a girl, because he could see uncovered legs. The man was facing towards the road, reaching down the embankment and pulling the child up by the hand.  Coverdale described the man as being a 30 to 35 year-old white male, with light-brown or fair hair cut short and giving the appearance of being receding. He was five feet six to five feet eight, plump and dressed in a mid-brown jacket with a check pattern, matching trousers and a beige or mustard-yellow cardigan.


This was the first description obtained of a man and a child.  Dibb was anxious to act, and he personally took Coverdale to the lay-by.  It was not the cold which caused Jack Dibb to shiver when, asked to show the place where the man and child were standing, Coverdale pointed out a spot within yards of the place where Lesley had been found."

Who killed Lesley Molseed?

How justice failed Stefan Kiszko and Lesley Molseed

   

The following are notes and excerpts from Chapter 22 which deals with events related to Raymond Hewlett *after* Stefan Kiszko was released from prison.  Kiszko spent 16 years wrongly incarcerated for the 1975 murder of Lesley Molseed.

Upon the exposure of this miscarriage of justice (conviction in July 1976/life sentence) and Kiszko's release from prison in 1992, a new investigation began and the original police files were reviewed.  Following up on certain leads had abruptly stopped after Kiszko's conviction. The following describes how and why Raymond Hewlett became the Number One suspect in the Molseed case.

How Justice Failed Stefan Kiszko and Lesley Molseed

 Jonathan Rose (Author), Steve Panter (Author), Trevor Wilkinson (Author)
Publisher: Fourth Estate, London, 1997 - ISBN: 1857024028 (Out of Print)

In 1975 eleven-year-old Lesley Molseed was abducted and stabbed to death on a Pennine moor, her killer having ejaculated over her body. Stefan Kiszko confessed to her murder and spent 16 years in jail. At the time no positive forensic evidence was offered. He was released in 1991 when the Law Lords declared he could not have been the killer.

(Note: Raymond Hewlett is named in this book as the prime suspect in the murder of Lesley Molseed.)

Not the first time YOU don't have a right to know

The murder of Lesley Molseed was also exempt from the public's RIGHT TO KNOW. The Mirror submitted an FOI request for the police files to be released in 2007. The request was denied. Note that Max McLean is also in the news regarding the McCann case. He traveled to Germany to interview Raymond Hewlett.
