Case 162: Lawrence Haggart
Added 2020-11-14 08:45:31 +0000 UTCAs John woke, he saw heavy curtains of smoke wafting through his bedroom. He scrambled out of bed and rushed out the door. The smoke was rising up the staircase from the ground floor below. It was accompanied by a noise that sounded like heavy breathing or snoring.

This case makes me so sick. Why this man's criminal record and alibi were so blithely accepted is beyond me. Proof that sexual assaults with male or female victims - needs to be taken more seriously. The poor brothers... and the fake diary entries! What the actual fuck! Casefile, great job covering this sickening case. I'm just so sorry for all the victims of this perpetrator.

2020-11-16 03:59:02 +0000 UTCDoes anybody know where to find the Crime Watch UK coverage of this case? It sounds like an older episode from around that time.

2020-11-15 23:50:19 +0000 UTCWell done on the episode. I can’t believe how many cases involve shockingly bad investigations. Sometimes you can say things were missed for various reasons but this...Pursuing a 12/13 year old is shocking. And ignoring a hammer in the murders car ? Beggars belief!

2020-11-14 13:20:51 +0000 UTCThis happened only about 40 miles from me and I’ve never heard of this case. Like you say, probably because of the coverage of the Dunblane Massacre. So sad.
