Kenneth Baker let us down

I was deeply dissapointed when Kenneth Baker turned down the request for some form of inquiry, be it another Police Force or a senior Judge. Tony Gorman was kicked to death on the streets of King's Lynn and the Police couldn't even manage to prosecute anyone for asaulting him let alone the murder, he at least deserved an inquiry. I've mentioned it before, but it is worthy of another mention especially as the Police and CPS kept banging on about not been able to determine the cause of Tony's death and hence been unable to prosecute anyone. G.B.H. at that time carried a maximum sentence of life in prison, that surely was an option to them had they infact got the right people. Kenneth Baker said it was for the Chief Constable to decide if he wanted the case looked at again, but he was hardly going to do that was he? I think the only person happier than the Chief Constable about Ken Bakers' decision was Gary Withers. He certainly hadn't been with Rod, Karl and me on the streets gathering a petition. I would like to say a big thank you to my M.P. Henry Bellingham for taking the time to listen to Rod, Karl and myself. He didn't shy away when 3 men accused of murder requested to see him. He's a very sincere person and will always get my vote, thanks Henry.
