:01:47. > :01:52.too well but remains a stranger. At the age of 33, Tony Paris was
:01:52. > :01:55.serving a life sentence for the murder of which he was innocent. He
:01:55. > :02:01.was in Wormwood Scrubs when the television programme was
:02:01. > :02:08.transmitted in February 1992. the Panorama programme, one prison
:02:08. > :02:13.officer said to me, "what are you doing in this prison?" I said,
:02:13. > :02:18."Well I told you I shouldn't be here". That's when I realised,
:02:18. > :02:22.people are now listening. The story begins at number 7 James
:02:22. > :02:26.Street in the heart of the old docks area with the murder of 22-
:02:26. > :02:32.year-old Lynette White, a well- known prostitute.
:02:32. > :02:36.She was a very pleasant girl. I mean, she was only I think 20 then,
:02:36. > :02:41.at the time. She was very pleasant and well-liked.
:02:41. > :02:48.The killing was exceptionally unnecessarily brutal, some 49 stab
:02:48. > :02:52.wounds and her head almost severed. I think she had her throat cut more
:02:52. > :03:00.than once because it was very ragged and probably after that she
:03:00. > :03:05.had multiple stab wounds. The senior duty officer that night
:03:05. > :03:09.was Inspector Dick Powell who immediately became involved in the
:03:09. > :03:12.investigation. He and the police team had an early
:03:12. > :03:18.and powerful lead. Witnesses had seen an obvious murder suspect

:03:42. > :03:46.He remained the major suspect for months as the investigation
:03:46. > :03:52.continued with the South Wales Police drafting in their most

:03:59. > :04:03.described to me as the CID's top detective, and in the vin act lar,
:04:03. > :04:08.a renowned thief taker. Seven months after the murder in
:04:08. > :04:14.September, the day-to-day investigation was taken over by
:04:14. > :04:19.Inspector Graham Mouncher. Today, the case notes in the
:04:19. > :04:22.Lynette White file run to over a million pages.
:04:23. > :04:28.A review of the investigation shows that when Mouncher took over, he
:04:28. > :04:33.was still focused on a single white male line of inquiry.
:04:33. > :04:39.Now he was convinced he had a prime suspect christened Mr X. Two weeks
:04:39. > :04:41.later, the investigation against the suspect ended abruptly when
:04:41. > :04:46.forensic analysis on the blood in the flat ruled him out. The
:04:46. > :04:50.detectives were right back to square one.
:04:50. > :04:55.When the case against Mr X collapsed, the story took a turn
:04:55. > :05:02.that almost defies belief. For nine months, police had been looking for
:05:02. > :05:06.one white male suspect. That line of inquiry now became history.
:05:07. > :05:11.Suddenly, in a series of dawn raids across the docks, a completely new
:05:11. > :05:17.set of suspects was taken in for questioning.
:05:17. > :05:23.There's a knock on the door at your home? Yes. Cops come in? Yes.
:05:23. > :05:28.they say? John, can you come to the police station with me. I actually
:05:28. > :05:32.said, are you taking the (BLEEP), you are looking for a white guy,
:05:32. > :05:37.what are you troubling me for. Actie was known in Cardiff's
:05:37. > :05:42.dockland as a hard man and not without reason. I'd met and filmed
:05:42. > :05:47.him 20 years ago but now at last he agreed to talk openly to me for the
:05:47. > :05:55.first time. Enyou are charged with the murder, I mean what's going
:05:55. > :05:59.through your mind? I... I couldn't believe it. It was horrifying. It
:05:59. > :06:06.was unbelievable. Also arrested we was Tony Paris,
:06:06. > :06:10.again a man known to the police but only with minor convictions for
:06:10. > :06:13.shoplifting. I was panicking because as far as I was concerned,
:06:13. > :06:16.they're not listening to me. They're trying to convince me that
:06:17. > :06:22.I was there. That's a chilling moment for you? It was. That was
:06:22. > :06:27.really the start of the reality that there wasn't going to let me
:06:27. > :06:34.And along with Tony Paris and John Actie, the three other men arrested
:06:34. > :06:38.and charged were John's cousin Ronnie Actie, Yusuf Abdullahi and
:06:38. > :06:42.Lynette's boyfriend, Stephen Miller. Based on the flimsy evidence from a
:06:42. > :06:46.tip-off, the police had come up with a scenario in which all five
:06:46. > :06:50.men had somehow come together on the night of the murder. They then
:06:50. > :06:59.made their way to Lynette's flat and, without motive, had taken it
:06:59. > :07:04.in turn to stab her to death. This bizarre story leaned heavily
:07:04. > :07:08.on the testimony of four key witnesses. They included Leanne
:07:08. > :07:12.Vilday, a Butetown prostitute and friend of Lynette White's and
:07:12. > :07:18.another local prostitute, Angela Psaila. The police had interviewed
:07:18. > :07:23.both women on a number of occasions and both women had insisted
:07:23. > :07:31.consistently they knew nothing of the murder.
:07:31. > :07:35.Then suddenly, after nine months, they changed their story. Now they
:07:35. > :07:42.said they'd heard screams from the flat. They say they ran over to
:07:42. > :07:46.find Lynette being attacked. The two other main witnesses were
:07:46. > :07:51.Mark Grommek who lived above the murder flat and Paul Atkins who was
:07:51. > :07:56.with him that night, both men are gay.
:07:56. > :07:59.Like Vilday and Psaila, they too changed their story numerous times
:07:59. > :08:06.and they settled for a final version that seemed to implicate
:08:06. > :08:11.all five men in Lynette's murder. This version was then taken and
:08:11. > :08:21.presented to Stephen Miller who, after 13 hours of denials in his
:08:21. > :08:28.
:08:28. > :08:33.interviews, eventually agreed he Following the longest murder trial
:08:33. > :08:39.in British criminal history, John and Ronnie Actie were acquitted
:08:39. > :08:42.with unanimous not guilty verdicts. The remaining three defendants,
:08:42. > :08:48.Stephen Miller, Yusuf Abdullahi and Tony Paris, were all sentenced to
:08:48. > :08:53.life in prison. Innocent! You are a convicted murderer, you
:08:53. > :09:01.get life, you phone your wife? I just told her that I don't know
:09:01. > :09:06.when I'm going to get out. So the best thing to do was to divorce me.
:09:06. > :09:10.There was too many people in prison getting letters and killing
:09:10. > :09:13.themselves. I had enough on my plate worrying about me. I couldn't
:09:13. > :09:20.worry about what was happening outside.
:09:20. > :09:24.20 years ago, when I first visited Cardiff, I was puzzled at the
:09:24. > :09:27.police adapting a new scenario quickly and suddenly accusing five
:09:27. > :09:33.mixed race men with no forensic links to the crime without motive
:09:34. > :09:37.and based on evidence from deeply unreliable witnesses.
:09:37. > :09:42.These girls, these prostitutes, you know, they were vulnerable, they
:09:42. > :09:46.were street girls, you don't get no more vulnerable than that. Five
:09:46. > :09:53.people. You all had alibis? Yes. None of you had a motive? Motive,
:09:53. > :09:57.no. We wasn't there. Back in 1992, I asked the former
:09:57. > :10:01.Assistant Chief Constable of Manchester, John Stalker, a veteran
:10:01. > :10:06.of over 100 murder inquiries, to review the quality of those
:10:06. > :10:09.prosecution witnesses. These frankly were awful witnesses,
:10:09. > :10:13.terrible witnesses. I would have been very unhappy to be taking a
:10:13. > :10:17.case and very unhappy to be taking a car parking case before the

:13:53. > :13:56.investigation and why. In 2004, the Independent Police
:13:56. > :13:59.Complaints Commission was now responsible for taking one of the
:13:59. > :14:03.most controversial decisions in the entire saga.
:14:03. > :14:08.They allowed the South Wales Police to investigate themselves.

:14:16. > :14:20.The investigation was led by detective Chief Superintendent
:14:20. > :14:24.Chris Coutts, a senior officer in the South Wales Police.
:14:24. > :14:28.We always took the view that it should have been a neighbouring
:14:28. > :14:36.force, not South Wales Police, who investigated the horrendous
:14:36. > :14:40.miscarriage of justice that commenced in 1988.
:14:40. > :14:42.But lawyers are not the only ones astonished by the decision to let
:14:42. > :14:46.the South Wales Police investigate itself.
:14:46. > :14:50.I've spoken to a number of former police officers who share the
:14:50. > :15:00.concerns and we've obtained some internal South Wales Police
:15:00. > :15:04.They reveal that detective Chief Superintendent Coutts was actually
:15:04. > :15:08.investigating, amongst others, his former immediate boss, Inspector
:15:08. > :15:12.Dick Powell, the man who was originally involved in the murder
:15:12. > :15:17.inquiry. The paper showed that a decade ago Powell and Coutts worked
:15:17. > :15:20.together. The close personal relationship
:15:20. > :15:25.between these two must have given rise to some real concern. Sources
:15:25. > :15:32.involved in the inquiry have told me that the IPCC saw nothing wrong
:15:32. > :15:37.with it. Despite this, over the next six years, Coutts and his team
:15:37. > :15:43.would continue to investigate their former colleagues in the South
:15:43. > :15:48.Wales Police thoroughly and efficiently. The first arrests were
:15:48. > :15:51.not of police officers but of the original key witnesses, Mark
:15:51. > :15:59.Grommek was charged with perjury. He initially fought the case saying
:15:59. > :16:03.he was forced to lie under duress but later pleaded guilty. Leanne
:16:03. > :16:06.Vilday and Angela Psaila said they too had been forced by the police
:16:06. > :16:13.to give false evidence. Nevertheless they were also charged
:16:13. > :16:19.with perjury and pleaded guilty. Alex Carlile represented Leanne
:16:19. > :16:22.Vilday. He's one of the most eminent lawyers in the country.
:16:22. > :16:27.process that the so-called eyewitnesses went through, in my
:16:27. > :16:31.view, was shocking. Leanne Vilday for example was threatened that she
:16:31. > :16:35.would be charged with the murder, with being a participant in the
:16:35. > :16:43.murder. It's not too difficult to understand how she succumbed to the
:16:43. > :16:47.pressure. In sentencing all three in December to prison in 2008, the
:16:48. > :16:50.judge said: "You were seriously hounded, bullied, threatened and
:16:50. > :16:54.abused and manipulated by the police during a period of several
:16:54. > :17:00.months. As a result you felt compelled to agree to false
:17:00. > :17:04.accounts suggested to you." The Crown had been told that the
:17:04. > :17:08.South Wales Police officers behaved appallingly forcing witnesses to
:17:08. > :17:17.tell lies that sent innocent men to prison for life. Now, all that
:17:17. > :17:21.remained was for the officers themselves to stand trial. 13 South
:17:21. > :17:25.Wales Police officers were charged in the case against the first eight
:17:25. > :17:34.and two civilian defendants opened at Swansea Crown Court in July of
:17:34. > :17:44.last year. They included former inspectors Dick Powell, Tommy page,
:17:44. > :17:48.and Graham Mouncher and former Dective Constable Greenwood. Police
:17:48. > :17:51.officers forced each of the four vulnerable witnesses into changing
:17:51. > :17:58.their statements. The police were, they allege, fitting in evidence to
:17:58. > :18:01.suit their view of what happened to Lynette and they used threats,
:18:02. > :18:08.intimidation and fabrication to finally implicate all five of the
:18:08. > :18:11.original defendants. The prosecution argued that the
:18:12. > :18:14.officers first convinced themselves of the guilt of the defendants and
:18:14. > :18:21.then imposed their theories on those who actually knew nothing
:18:21. > :18:28.about the murder. The court heard of an example of this and of just
:18:28. > :18:36.how the police treated potential witnesss in the case of Jack Ellis.
:18:36. > :18:40.Back in 1988, Elis was a local Taxi Driver who knew Lynette White well.
:18:40. > :18:43.He willingly helped police on a number of occasions and even
:18:43. > :18:47.appeared in the Crimewatch appear. I'm more of a friend than a Taxi
:18:47. > :18:53.Driver. She used to talk a lot, dream a lot, you know like any
:18:53. > :18:57.other young girlment But the police attitude to him changed when one of
:18:57. > :19:01.the witnesses falsely claimed she'd seen his taxi outside the murder
:19:01. > :19:08.flat. Now the police wanted him as a witness to support their murder
:19:08. > :19:14.theories. I was taking to the police station. Then they just laid
:19:14. > :19:18.into me with questions. I was scared, like really scared. Jack
:19:18. > :19:22.Ellis was held in that police station without break for over ten
:19:22. > :19:28.hours, shouted and yelled at by detectives trying to get him to
:19:28. > :19:33.change his true account to fit their version of events. They get
:19:33. > :19:37.to the point that you just want to give in and tell them anything,
:19:37. > :19:46.even if you don't know it. Were you beginning to reach that stage?
:19:46. > :19:50.much so, yes. But Elis dogedly held firm. After ten hours of
:19:50. > :19:54.questioning and buling -- bullying, the police didn't take a statement
:19:54. > :20:00.from him but wrote him out of the scenario they came up with and
:20:00. > :20:05.drove him home. The car pulled up and they practically drag him up
:20:05. > :20:11.the path. He was in such a state. His legs wouldn't hold him up. He
:20:11. > :20:16.was the most dreadful colour. I get a bit upset about this. When they
:20:16. > :20:21.brought him in, they just dumped him in the chair and one said, "I
:20:21. > :20:29.think you'd better get a doctor. I think he's having a heart attack.
:20:29. > :20:34."And they just left. They just slammed the door. But even this
:20:34. > :20:39.kind of evidence was not enough to save the prosecution's case, as
:20:39. > :20:43.something quite fundamental was happening to fatally undermine it.
:20:43. > :20:47.As the trial continued, it became clear that the overarching
:20:47. > :20:50.importance of what is called disclosure, the production and
:20:50. > :21:00.sharing by the prosecution of all documents relevant to the case, was
:21:00. > :21:02.
:21:02. > :21:05.failing. The disclosure process is fundamental to the trial. How did
:21:05. > :21:09.it go so wrong? From my understanding of the investigation
:21:09. > :21:16.it was done quite competently. They investigated, foun the evidence and
:21:16. > :21:22.charged the officers. Now what we have found out about the officers'
:21:22. > :21:25.conduct in the criminal trial is that it was wholey incompetent.
:21:25. > :21:28.November the judge gave the prosecution one last chance. He
:21:28. > :21:34.called it the litmus test to prove they'd handled the paper work
:21:34. > :21:39.correctly. But a crucial set of four files required to prove the
:21:39. > :21:43.prosecution's competence couldn't be found. Evidence from one South
:21:43. > :21:51.Wales Police officer indicated that one of the files had been destroyed
:21:51. > :21:54.on the orders of senior officer Chris Coutts. The court transcripts
:21:54. > :21:58.record that the prosecution accepted what appeared to be the
:21:58. > :22:02.deliberate destruction of the files was indeed fatal to the case. The
:22:02. > :22:06.explanation for this catastrophe was a serious error rather than
:22:06. > :22:13.deliberate misconduct, in other words, a multimillion pound cock-up,
:22:13. > :22:17.rather than a malign conspiracy. The judge promptly gave up, stopped
:22:17. > :22:26.the trial on the advice of the Crown Prosecution Service and
:22:26. > :22:29.formally declared all eight policemen not guilty. But that
:22:29. > :22:38.acquittal, under those circumstances, merely deepened the
:22:38. > :22:43.suspicion of the original murder defendants. I was gutted. I was at
:22:43. > :22:49.home. My solicitor phoned me and told me the case was being
:22:49. > :22:52.withdrawn bit Crown because they'd misplaced from papers. Misplaced

:25:45. > :25:48.knew each other as well as they did? This is a matter for a proper
