Essexboys - Letter
Dear Darren,

I am writing this in the hope you will somehow hear about this site and someday read this letter. It is NOT my intention to question your evidence or to ask you anything about the Rettendon or any other case. My sole intention is to put you and your families minds at rest.

Before I gave evidence in the Leah Betts trial, I was told by the Police that Tucker, Tate and various other people were running around telling anybody who would listen that they were going to 'iron me out,' 'shoot me,' 'stab me,' etc...etc....

When Tucker and Tate were murdered, I was told others had taken up their cause and I remained in danger.I now believe those 'threats' were totally fictitious. I was told about them - not for my well being, but because certain people didn't want me associating with Tucker and Tate etc.... just incase I changed my mind about attending the trial. The 'threats' kept me away from everybody I knew and the places I once frequented. It's rather ironic that the Police knew the amount of money that had been put on my head, the method which was going to be used to 'dispatch me' and who was ordering the deed to be done - yet they did nothing about it - except of course to tell me and my family whom they seemed so keen to protect.

I know such threats are a great concern for you, your Wife and of course your children. It's not nice having to live in a constant state of alert. It grinds you down both mentally and physically, eroding relationships and the quality of life. That is why I've written you this letter Darren. I just want you to know that whatever you have read or been told about 'contracts being put on your head,' 'death threats being issued, 'etc..etc...... it is all total and utter rubbish. Whatever happened, and nobody ignores the fact you too have suffered - happened a long time ago and the only thing anybody want's is to live free and in peace.

Nobody has 'won' - nobody has gained anything (except of course the Policeman who received an award for his sterling work) You, Mick, Jack and all of your loved ones have all paid a terrible price, and for what?

Mick - a good friend of yours, languishes in Belmarsh prison, where, if he loses all avenues of Appeal, will surely die.

Jack, also a good friend of yours, languishes in Whitemoor prison, separated from his Wife and their young children, missing them terribly,deprived of watching them grow up.

In many ways, you and your family are also serving a sentence. You have been torn from your relatives and friends, you are forced to live a lie, you never know if you can settle somewhere, you are always looking over your shoulder and you can never find real peace.

I speak regularly to all parties Darren and the saddest thing is you all want the same thing but people on the 'perimeters' are doing their best to prevent that from happening. Mick and Jack just want to go home, put this behind them and live out the rest of their lives with their families. I'm sure you and your Wife want much the same. I can assure you both, 100%, NOBODY has any interest whatsoever in apportioning blame, seeking revenge or any of the other nonsense you may have read or been told.

I'm sure you know how the Appeal system works. There are rarely lengthy retrials. More often than not, it is just one or two areas of the evidence which are looked at. The families in this case, the Legal representatives and some Journalists are looking constantly at every aspect of the evidence. 38 grounds of Appeal are currently before the Criminal cases review, more will surely follow. Whether it be Jacks new mobile phone evidence, the failings of the pathologist or a Police discrepancy, I am confident Mick and Jack's break will come and they will be released. All efforts to find that vital 'key' are being hampered by the authorities, but come - it surely will.

The stories about the threats on your life are designed to keep you in hiding and keep you 'in check.' I think that is immoral and I think that is wrong. I have written this letter so that you and your family are aware of the true situation and can enjoy peace of mind.. If these threats were 'real,' then surely somebody would have been charged, questioned, or at least cautioned. None have, none will be, because no threats have been made or even discussed .You could free Mick and Jack tomorrow, so common sense should tell you they would never want you to come to any harm.

Good luck Darren, good health, good book !
