Later, when CCTV footage was analysed, it was evident that he had trailed behind some children, intermittently peering over the railings, seemingly to look at the hard concrete, ten floors below.…
Ben John stood before a jury at Leicester Crown Court. The 21-year-old denied all seven of the charges he faced. John had been arrested around a year and a half earlier after the authorities had raided his flat in January 2020.

Members of the public pushed and prodded as they fought to get in. Every spectator was hopeful of gaining a ringside seat in the courtroom. Some people paid for the privilege, handing over large sums of cash, which would be £250 in today's money…
“You behaved how you did despite the serious nature of the charge your sons faced and persisted in attempts to give them a false alibi for two months. Not even a mother is entitled to lie with impunity to save her sons who she knows to have been involved in a terrible crime” — Judge Clement Goldstone QC, Liverpool Crown Court, April 2013

After school, Shelley’s children got onto the bus, but unusually their mother was not waiting for them at the end of the journey.
