RE: More Gary Daw
Although this statement was made on 24.4.91 to Karl's solicitor, in it Gary Daw says he told the 2 Police Officers before going on the I.D. Parades on the 5th March that he "was certain" Karl Sxxxxxxn was not one of those who took part in the assault on the deceased. He also states "They made it clear that they did not believe him". Can someone please explain to me how the police thought they could obtain a conviction in this case? This was pure and simplle MALICIOUS. I fully understood how I could initially have been thought of as a suspect, I ran past the body of Tony Gorman covered in blood and admitted assaulting his friend. All Karl SxxxxxxN did was admit talking to me in the club and that was enough to rope him in to a Murder inquiry. I hope your beginning to see how not only did the Police disregarded vital evidence from eye witnesses they also point blank refused to believe them. What kind of Police Officers have the King's Lynn community got serving them? While I'm about it I'll tell you who else let the town down. The local paper, The Lynn News. Yeah they were great at printing all the shit that was said in court, verbatim. It made great headlines, what they wasn't any good at was printing the truth. The big fucking headlines should have been all the wrong doing the Police did, the inempt handling of the inquiry, how they chose not to accept witness statements and how they didn't believe witnesses when they were told they had the wrong people etc. I've had all these statements 17 years and did the Lynn News ever once bother to do a follow up story when they was offered the evidence. Did they fuck. To all would be journalist's in the King's Lynn area don't ever be tempted to work for the Lynn News they wouldn't know what an investigative journalist was, unless of course you consider, writing about wheelie bins and car park charges investigative journalism.

I make this statement additional to my statement to the Police, dated the 3rd March 1991. I wish to preface my remarks by stating that I have attended three identification parades as a witness. At the first of those parades which was on the 5th March, I knew one of the persons on the parade which was Karl Somerton. Having made my statement on the 3rd March, 1991 but before going on the parade, I had been visited at my place of work by the same Police Officers who had taken the first statement from me. This was at High House, Terrington where I was working. They asked me if Knew Karl Somerton. I told them that yes I did know him. The reason that I knew him was that some years ago when I had gone to one of the local canning factories to do some work, I had met him there. Also I think he went to the same school as me and I certainly knew him by name. I told the Officers all this and particularly told them that I could be certain that he was not one of those who took part in the assault, on the deceased. They made it quite clear that they did not believe me. As the parade took place on the 5th March this must have been the day after I made my statement. Anyway, on the 5th March I was simply taken to the identification parade. On the first one I saw Karl Somerton on the line up. I was asked if any of the persons present was the one or one of those who I had seen kicking and punching the deceased, and I said no. I can go further and say that Karl Somerton definitely was not one of the three involved. Furthermore, I then went to another parade. I cannot be certain if it was the same day. On this parade, one of the persons on the line up was a Bouncer. At that time I did not know his name but I now know him to be Michael Teal. I immediately recognised him. I can say that he again was definitely not one of those involved in the assault. Finally, I then went to a third parade where I saw another person who I recognised as being a Bouncer. I should add that both Bouncers I am referring to have worked at the Cellar Bar where I go regularly and I have seen them in there. Again, I can definitely state that that person was not involved in the attack. As to those Bouncers, one of them I had seen actually working in the Cellar Bar on the night of the 1st March. I think that that is the man known as Michael Teal. I go to the Cellar Bar regularly and I had seen the other Bouncer working there as well. Since making those statements, I have obviously been out and about King's Lynn and I have not seen anybody who I could say was involved. Those involved in the assault do not stick in my mind as people that I have seen before. Turning to my statement I confirm otherwise that page 1 or thereof is accurate. As to page 2, when the man who I now know to be the deceased Gorman asked me if I knew somebody whose name he mentioned and kept repeating this; I have to say that the reason I walked away was because this man was being difficult. I felt that if I didn't walk away, he might go for me. Page 3 of my statement is accurate. As to page 4, I would like to add that the deceased Gorman (I now know that to be his name) was doing all the arguing when I saw him with a stocky built man with permed hair at the top of the stairs as I was leaving with Shelley Mitchelson. I can remember that the man with the permed hair was saying that he did not want any trouble. Gorman was being aggressive, they were not both arguing, it was Gorman who was doing the arguing and the other man was trying to calm things down. I have referred to hearing shouting as I walked away. I did not return to look at any incident. I had walked about half way from the exit of the Cellar Bar, to the mouth of Tuesday Market Place. When I looked over my shoulder, I could see abit of scuffling. I did not return to have a closer look. I had not noticed Karl Somerton at all that evening, the Club was quite busy and he could have been there, he just did not come to my attention. As to page 5 of my statement. I have described how Shelley Mitchelson and myself had gone passed the taxi office, having gone in there and been unsuccessful in getting an immediate taxi. We were therefore walking home along Chapel Street, opposite the Council offices when I saw the man running towards us being chased by others. I can say this. That man was the same man who I had seen causing the trouble earlier. I can be certain that he did not run out from the car park which is next to the Lattice House and extends back across towards the Tudor Rose Hotel. This is why I have said that I had the impression that he had run from the direction of St Nicholas Church. This is because if he had not run across the car park, and of that I am sure: then it follows that he could only have come from the direction of St Nicholas Church in which case he could have run down from the Tudor Rose direction and if he had just left the Club this would of course make sense. Those running after him were running towards me. It follows that I could probably recognise them again given the opportunity. I have described in my statement how I kept walking. I was tempted to shout out, "leave him alone" as I saw these three men assaulting the man on the ground outside the Council offices. However, I feared that if I did they might have a go at me. Obviously, I was concerned to keep Shelley moving. As we continued walking therefore, in the direction of St Nicholas Church I saw no other persons standing watching the assault. When I turned round again to look and saw the man now lying on the pavement the three men had gone. I have been thinking very hard about the description of these men. I would also like to add that I had drunk sparingly that evening and was not therefore in any way intoxicated. The last of the three men sticks most clearly in my mind. This is the one who was slightly behind the other two. He was of a plump build. He was in his mid-twenties, and between 5 feet 8 and 5 feet 10 inches in height. There was nothing outstanding about his clothing that sticks in my mind. He did not have blond hair, it was darkish. Also it was of medium length but it wasn't a smart cut. He was a white person. As to the other two who had been ahead of him and chasing the man Gorman, I can say the following. One was about 6 feet. He had dark hair which was cut fairly shortish. He was white and not wearing glasses (none of them were). He was of a slim build. Just as with the other two, he had no noticeable facial hair such as a moustache or a beard. The third one was smaller than the second one. I remember that he was of slim build and he had mousy blond medium length hair. I cannot say anything about their clothing; it was their faces that stuck in my mind. I can categorically say that I know Robert Mark Hills, otherwise known as Bobby Hills and he was definitely not one of these three. I also know his father and he was definitely not one of them either. I wish to conclude this statement by saying that I am positive that the Police have charged the wrong persons in this case. I have then described how I walked home. I have not seen Sewell’s statement I do not know this man. However, the route that he describes taking is the same route that myself and Shelley Mitchelson took. On that route we saw no man and particularly, no man with a cut head.

LYNN NEWS Murder inquiry: People still being questioned, says Police
I love that quote from Detectice Superintendent peter fraser, "Lynn is awash with rumour and speculation- but the investigation is not yet complete. There are a number of inquiries still going on and that will be the situation for a time yet. we are still questioning people and potential witnesses and following up information from the public."
First let me say shouldn't they have completed their inquiries before sending 3 innocent people to prison for Murder. Lynn was awash with rumour because it was becoming known the Police had the wrong people. I have ALL the statements taken concerning the Murder inquiry and no new potential witnesses were being questioned. The only people that saw anything to do with the murder made their statements within the 1st three days. The information the Police had they failed to act upon. Shelley Mitchelson saying it was a man wearing a blue and white hooped Rugby shirt, was anyone ever asked about that? Don't be so fucking stupid, not even Gary Sewell the friend of the deceased was ever asked about that. WHY NOT? This whole thing stems from what I said earlier, the Police wanted me and didn't listen to anything that pointed away from me. Where things started to go wrong for the Police is when 2 of the original 9 eye witnesses made further statements to both the Police and defence Solicitors stating they had since seen the people they believed to be involved in the Murder, while Karl and I were in Prison. It must have been the Police's worst fucking nightmare, eye witnesses insistant they had got it wrong. Did we get released from Prison? Not fucking likely. Excuse my swearing.

Gary Sewell's Moment Of Clarity
So if you have read all Sewell's interviews and his previous statement you will realise he had what alchoholic's refer to as "a moment of clarity". When all's said and done Sewell is entitled to say whatever he believes to be true. The question you have to ask is did he really believe this to be true? During his questioning when asked on numerous occasions was it Karl, he doesn't say maybe, or it could have been, or now I come to think about it yes. He is addament it is not Karl, let's face it, he describes knowing Karl for 5 years, he describes Karl having an arguement with Gorman outside the club. They went to the same Gym for God's sake.He knew Karl very well make no bones about it. Here's an extract from his 2nd interview:-
Q.
Carl SxxxxxxN was down there.
R:
Yeah.
Q:
Was he one of the three?
R:
No.
Q.
Are you absolutely certain? Are you absolutely certain?
R.
Yeah that weren’t Carl.
Karl had a number of people who could vouch for his whereabouts at the time in question. Two were lads he was having a fight with at the exact same time as the Murder was being carried out. They are what I would call 2 very independant witnesses. Although the Police prosecuted him for that assault they couldn't get it into their tiny little brains that he couldn't be in 2 places at the same time. His ex girlfriend who the fight was over and at least 2 of his friends all gave statements to the Police, but did the Police listen? I'm afraid it seems to be a trait of the boys in blue from the Norfolk Constabulary, they're all fucking DEAF.
So the question remains why did Sewell suddenly have this "moment of clarity"? Did the Police have anything to do with it? I suspect they did.

Gary Sewell 2nd Statement

OCCUPATION: ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN
Who states: - This statement consisting of 2 pages, each signed by me, is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I make it knowing that if it is tendered in evidence I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated in it anything which I know to be false or do not believe to be true.
DATED: 070391 G W SEWELL (SIGNED)
Further to my previous statement I wish to clarify that I left my home by taxi at 7.35pm on Friday 1st March, 1991. At this time I was with Tony GORMAN. Since this incident where I received my injuries, I have had a considerable time to think about the events of that night. I am now certain in my own mind that the man who approached Tony and myself and said "You've had a good kicking now it’s your mates turn," that this man was Carl SxxxxxxN. I also recollect that SxxxxxxN was wearing a sky blue top I didn't notice anything else about the top. I have known Carl SxxxxxxN for about five years as I used to go to the same gymnasium as he used to. I know that it has taken a long time for me to mention Carl SxxxxxxN as being the man who talked to us in the Tuesday Market Place, but I had to be certain in my own mind before saying so. I cannot recall who the other two men were who were with SxxxxxxN as my attention was drawn to the man who was speaking to us. SxxxxxxN was therefore definitely one of the men who then kicked and punched Tony as I never lost view of these three men and Tony until I lost view of them as I walked just past the Tudor Rose.

RE: Gary Sewell
I am reposting the descriptions of all the witness statements; I have included Gary Sewell’s for comparison.
Now let me comment on Gary Sewell’s statement. I hope you have read all his taped interviews. If you have you will see it’s obvious that he knows me and would easily be able to recognize me if I had been one of the 3 people who had approached him and Gorman prior to the attack on Gorman. He gives a description of the clothes I am wearing and describes me joking with him about the incident with the TV. His description of my demeanor is in total contrast to that of Mandy Groom and Emma Register, the female bar staff. I can go further than that; there was not a single customer who had anything bad to say about my actions or behavior prior to me assaulting Sewell.
I mentioned it earlier in this Blog but I’ll say it again as it is for me at least quite unbelievable that Gary Sewell was NEVER once asked if I had been involved in the attack on Gorman. About a year after the murder I bumped in to Gary Sewell and I asked him, why he hadn’t told the Police I wasn’t involved. He told me that the Police had told him that I had joined in the attack after he had walked off in the opposite direction. That sounded about right for those low life Bastards.
I just want to touch on the description he gave of the person who came up and spoke to him and Gorman on the Market Place prior to the attack.
“The man who spoke I will describe as follows: between 20-25 yrs of age, about 5'10" tall of medium build, of short dark coloured hair which was tidy and short at the sides. This man had an angular and long face. He did not wear spectacles. He was wearing jeans and a dark coloured top of some form, but was not wearing a jacket. He had something white in his hands and I gained the impression it was some form of take-away package, similar in size to something like a small kebab”.
Although he was asked in interviews on numerous occasions if Karl was involved and remember Karl is someone Sewell describes as knowing very well. He says “no definitely not”, in a statement he makes 4 days later (which I will post next) he says Karl is that man. Apart from and again something the Police “over looked” the descriptions didn’t match, it’s worth knowing, Sewell didn’t go and volunteer the 2nd statement, the Police went and asked him for it. Also Sewell’s 2nd statement was made on the same day as Jason Colman retracted his, after complaining about the way it was taken. Something fishy going on me thinks.
Anyway here are ALL the descriptions again, it’s pretty obvious the 3 who had the best view of the attackers are: - Gary Sewell, Gary Daw and Shelley Mitchelson.
Karl, aged 25, probably about 5’9” straight light brown hair wearing a light blue T-shirt and jeans.
Rod aged 35, about 6’ straight blonde hair wearing white shirt and black trousers.
Myself aged 29, 6’2” short blonde hair wearing a blood soaked white shirt and black trousers.
1. TERRY MYERHOFFER: 9 Pints of lager
1) Stocky build, 5'8" tall, short fair hair, wearing a white shirt and black trousers. I believe that it was the bouncer who thrown GORMAN out of the Cellar Bar earlier.
2) Medium build, 5'10" tall, dark brown curly hair that appeared to be permed, wearing a light casual shirt and probably trousers.
2. CLIFFORD ELLIS: 10 Pints of lager 1 bottle of Pils lager
1. White, male, 5'8" tall, black curly hair which was quite short, mid twenties, medium build. I can't remember what he wore.
2. White, male, about 5'10" tall, mid twenties, but I can't remember anything else about him.
At this time a third man ran past us, chasing after the other three. I would describe him as being a white male, 6' tall, of heavy build bordering on fat, middle 20's, wearing a loose top which flapped about as he ran and I believe jeans, mousey blonde hair, which was not long.
3. MARK BRAMHAM: 10 pints lager tops
I looked round and saw one man I would describe as bald or really short hair, being chased by two other men. I can only describe as male, white, about my age, dressed in light tops but I cannot recall their descriptions any further, as they were running very fast
4. CAROLINE SCOTT: 5 or 6 Whisky & orange
I turned round and saw the same man, who had been held against the post wearing the quartered Rugby shirt, run past. We were standing on the pavement at the time whilst he was running in the road. Immediately behind him and very close to him, two men chasing after him. Both men were 6'0" tall or taller, well built and both had light hair. The hair of one of them was collar length and brush straight back to clear the ears, whilst the other one was just short. They were both wearing either white or very light long sleeved shirts and black or very dark trousers
5. COLIN LORD: 7-8 Pints of lager
DIDN’T MENTION SEEING THE CHASE
6. GARY DAW: 4 or 5 Pints of lager & Lime
I think the first two men both had dark hair, and were tall and of medium to heavy build. The third man, who had been behind the other two at first, had either light or dark hair, I can't remember, and I think he was possibly shorter than the other two. I don't think any of the men would have had white shirts on or anything particularly light, because they would have stood out. I can't remember having seen any of the three men before that evening either in the Cellar Bar, or outside the Cellar Bar.
7. SHELLEY MITCHELSON: Only mentions having 3 drinks
One of the 3 men, who was wearing a blue & white hooped rugby shirt (who I will describe later)……. Going back to the attacker who was wearing the blue & white hooped Rugby shirt. The hoops / bands were about 2" wide & ran across the body. The blue was a pale blue colour. I can clearly remember that the hoops on his shirt were much narrower, in width then the hoops on the fallen man's shirt. I am fairly sure that the hoops were all over the body of the shirt & ran alternatively white & blue. The man himself was 6’-6’1” tall, stocky build & he had short dark hair. He was also wearing jeans & he was aged early 20's. I am very sure that I saw this man earlier in the evening in the Cellar Bar, standing only a few feet away from me at the bar. Unfortunately I am unable to give much of a description of the other 2 attackers; however, I would say that they were both aged 19-20 years, smaller in height & build compared to the attacker in the blue a white hooped shirt. I cannot separate, in my mind, between the second kicking man & the man who was the puncher, other than one of these 2 may have, I can put it no stronger than that, be the man with the shaven & permed hairstyle involved in the stair incident.
8. GARY SEWELL
The man who spoke I will describe as follows: between 20-25 yrs of age, about 5 "10" tall of medium build, of short dark coloured hair which was tidy and short at the sides. This man had an angular and long face. He did not wear spectacles. He was wearing jeans and a dark coloured top of some form, but was not wearing a jacket. He had something white in his hands and I gained the impression it was some form of take-away package, similar in size to something like a small kebab. His voice did not appear to be right; this may be because he had a sarcastic attitude towards us. The other two men I cannot give any description, other than they were dressed casually, the same age group as the first described man and one was shorter in height, about 5"7" tall. One of this group was wearing tan coloured kicker boots but I cannot recall which one.
Now let me comment on Gary Sewell’s statement. I hope you have read all his taped interviews. If you have you will see it’s obvious that he knows me and would easily be able to recognize me if I had been one of the 3 people who had approached him and Gorman prior to the attack on Gorman. He gives a description of the clothes I am wearing and describes me joking with him about the incident with the TV. His description of my demeanor is in total contrast to that of Mandy Groom and Emma Register, the female bar staff. I can go further than that; there was not a single customer who had anything bad to say about my actions or behavior prior to me assaulting Sewell.
I mentioned it earlier in this Blog but I’ll say it again as it is for me at least quite unbelievable that Gary Sewell was NEVER once asked if I had been involved in the attack on Gorman. About a year after the murder I bumped in to Gary Sewell and I asked him, why he hadn’t told the Police I wasn’t involved. He told me that the Police had told him that I had joined in the attack after he had walked off in the opposite direction. That sounded about right for those low life Bastards.
I just want to touch on the description he gave of the person who came up and spoke to him and Gorman on the Market Place prior to the attack.
“The man who spoke I will describe as follows: between 20-25 yrs of age, about 5'10" tall of medium build, of short dark coloured hair which was tidy and short at the sides. This man had an angular and long face. He did not wear spectacles. He was wearing jeans and a dark coloured top of some form, but was not wearing a jacket. He had something white in his hands and I gained the impression it was some form of take-away package, similar in size to something like a small kebab”.
Although he was asked in interviews on numerous occasions if Karl was involved and remember Karl is someone Sewell describes as knowing very well. He says “no definitely not”, in a statement he makes 4 days later (which I will post next) he says Karl is that man. Apart from and again something the Police “over looked” the descriptions didn’t match, it’s worth knowing, Sewell didn’t go and volunteer the 2nd statement, the Police went and asked him for it. Also Sewell’s 2nd statement was made on the same day as Jason Colman retracted his, after complaining about the way it was taken. Something fishy going on me thinks.
Anyway here are ALL the descriptions again, it’s pretty obvious the 3 who had the best view of the attackers are: - Gary Sewell, Gary Daw and Shelley Mitchelson.
Karl, aged 25, probably about 5’9” straight light brown hair wearing a light blue T-shirt and jeans.
Rod aged 35, about 6’ straight blonde hair wearing white shirt and black trousers.
Myself aged 29, 6’2” short blonde hair wearing a blood soaked white shirt and black trousers.
1. TERRY MYERHOFFER: 9 Pints of lager
1) Stocky build, 5'8" tall, short fair hair, wearing a white shirt and black trousers. I believe that it was the bouncer who thrown GORMAN out of the Cellar Bar earlier.
2) Medium build, 5'10" tall, dark brown curly hair that appeared to be permed, wearing a light casual shirt and probably trousers.
2. CLIFFORD ELLIS: 10 Pints of lager 1 bottle of Pils lager
1. White, male, 5'8" tall, black curly hair which was quite short, mid twenties, medium build. I can't remember what he wore.
2. White, male, about 5'10" tall, mid twenties, but I can't remember anything else about him.
At this time a third man ran past us, chasing after the other three. I would describe him as being a white male, 6' tall, of heavy build bordering on fat, middle 20's, wearing a loose top which flapped about as he ran and I believe jeans, mousey blonde hair, which was not long.
3. MARK BRAMHAM: 10 pints lager tops
I looked round and saw one man I would describe as bald or really short hair, being chased by two other men. I can only describe as male, white, about my age, dressed in light tops but I cannot recall their descriptions any further, as they were running very fast
4. CAROLINE SCOTT: 5 or 6 Whisky & orange
I turned round and saw the same man, who had been held against the post wearing the quartered Rugby shirt, run past. We were standing on the pavement at the time whilst he was running in the road. Immediately behind him and very close to him, two men chasing after him. Both men were 6'0" tall or taller, well built and both had light hair. The hair of one of them was collar length and brush straight back to clear the ears, whilst the other one was just short. They were both wearing either white or very light long sleeved shirts and black or very dark trousers
5. COLIN LORD: 7-8 Pints of lager
DIDN’T MENTION SEEING THE CHASE
6. GARY DAW: 4 or 5 Pints of lager & Lime
I think the first two men both had dark hair, and were tall and of medium to heavy build. The third man, who had been behind the other two at first, had either light or dark hair, I can't remember, and I think he was possibly shorter than the other two. I don't think any of the men would have had white shirts on or anything particularly light, because they would have stood out. I can't remember having seen any of the three men before that evening either in the Cellar Bar, or outside the Cellar Bar.
7. SHELLEY MITCHELSON: Only mentions having 3 drinks
One of the 3 men, who was wearing a blue & white hooped rugby shirt (who I will describe later)……. Going back to the attacker who was wearing the blue & white hooped Rugby shirt. The hoops / bands were about 2" wide & ran across the body. The blue was a pale blue colour. I can clearly remember that the hoops on his shirt were much narrower, in width then the hoops on the fallen man's shirt. I am fairly sure that the hoops were all over the body of the shirt & ran alternatively white & blue. The man himself was 6’-6’1” tall, stocky build & he had short dark hair. He was also wearing jeans & he was aged early 20's. I am very sure that I saw this man earlier in the evening in the Cellar Bar, standing only a few feet away from me at the bar. Unfortunately I am unable to give much of a description of the other 2 attackers; however, I would say that they were both aged 19-20 years, smaller in height & build compared to the attacker in the blue a white hooped shirt. I cannot separate, in my mind, between the second kicking man & the man who was the puncher, other than one of these 2 may have, I can put it no stronger than that, be the man with the shaven & permed hairstyle involved in the stair incident.
8. GARY SEWELL
The man who spoke I will describe as follows: between 20-25 yrs of age, about 5 "10" tall of medium build, of short dark coloured hair which was tidy and short at the sides. This man had an angular and long face. He did not wear spectacles. He was wearing jeans and a dark coloured top of some form, but was not wearing a jacket. He had something white in his hands and I gained the impression it was some form of take-away package, similar in size to something like a small kebab. His voice did not appear to be right; this may be because he had a sarcastic attitude towards us. The other two men I cannot give any description, other than they were dressed casually, the same age group as the first described man and one was shorter in height, about 5"7" tall. One of this group was wearing tan coloured kicker boots but I cannot recall which one.
