Tears came to my eyes when katerina's mother speaking of her grief and how she gave her meaning to her life so sad how on earth do you come to terms losing a child like this
The murderer of Thomas Marshall was convicted in 1999. This from The Guatdian: "A village shopkeeper strangled a 12-year-old with whom he had a sexual relationship because he feared the boy would expose him, a court heard yesterday. Kevan Roberts, 52, was attracted to adolescent boys, and allegedly killed Thomas Marshall in under a minute by twisting a bootlace necklace around his neck. He killed the youngster in the kitchen behind his shop in Eccles, north Norfolk, in August 1977 because he felt he was "losing control" over him, Norwich crown court was told. Thirteen months later, police found a metal bead in the U-bend of Roberts' sink. The prosecution alleged that the bead, proven to be similar to those that had been on the necklace, had landed there when the necklace was twisted and broken as the boy died. Roberts denies a charge of murder. The court was told "something sexual" developed after they met in May or June 1997. As the relationship progressed, the "superficially streetwise" boy began demanding cigarettes, drinks, and sweets, and teasing Roberts about his sexual orientation, the court heard. He also threatened to claim Roberts had "touched him up" if he failed to give him fizzy pop, the shopkeeper told police in interviews. Roberts began to feel at a disadvantage, Charles Wide QC, prosecuting, told the jury. Later he allegedly confessed to Roy Reynolds, a convicted paedophile serving a life sentence, whom he met while in prison on remand, that he hated the adolescent for having him "over a barrel". While only two people knew the precise nature of the sexual relationship, "and one of them is dead", the jury might conclude that "Thomas was streetwise enough to try and exploit the situation, but not so mature as to realise what he might be getting himself into," Mr Wide suggested. On the evening of the murder, Thomas and Roberts had each falsely arranged to meet someone else. Roberts obtained three joints of cannabis, which he hoped would sexually arouse the youngster, telling the neighbour who supplied the cannabis that it "would make the night go easier". Thomas, meanwhile, lied to his mother and said he had arranged to meet a friend, Adrian Smith, 16. Shortly after 5.40pm, he left his home in the village of Happisburgh to cycle the two miles to Eccles. Within three hours, forensic tests showed, he was dead. At noon the next day, his dismantled red bicycle was spotted in undergrowth by the side of a common, two miles from Roberts' home - a spot "well-known to Roberts" and which he had passed the day previously. At 5pm the same day, the boy's body was found in a lay-by frequented by gay men cruising for sex, at Roundham heath, 30 miles from Norwich in the south of the county. Roberts had put the body there to mislead the police, the prosecution alleged. Mr Wide said forensic tests revealed genital bruising and that the 12-year-old had been "strangled from behind, his collar and the necklace being seized and twisted". The necklace broke and two metallic beads came off - neither being found until September 1998 when a constable searching Roberts's home removed the sink trap and found one bead. "Roberts wasn't able to explain how the bead got there," Mr Wide added." The Independent also said: "Roberts had earlier been cautioned by police for "helping" two young teenagers make an indecent video in the bathroom of his home, Norwich Crown Court was told . While Roberts was in jail awaiting trial he told two inmates he considered Thomas a "rent boy" and that he hated him. Thomas's family yesterday strongly denied allegations that Thomas was involved with sex and drugs.
Eerie to see poor Jill Dando, though. RIP lass. I hate the crimes against children, animals and the elderly. I still don't understand how anyone could do this
@@LANCSKID Yawn… it’s really not the essence of what crime watch was all about 🤣🤣🤣. Despite the title. The river of material must have been running dry.
@@rach623 Given the comments which preceded the CCTV clip, I think it was most likely included for ‘comic effect’ and/or as a filler. Pretty lame, I agree.
@@BlytheWorld1972 well... Timothy Evans. I think that's all that needs to be said about that. And Jill Dando did seem to focus much more heavily on rape and sexual assault cases than Sue ever did when she was the presenter (seemingly Evey episode she was in in fact).
I knew someone that was murdered and they were featured on crime watch . It seems the main suspect was already in jail after the murder but before the police had evidence linking him as the murderer.
9:38 I completely understand that a 'unnerving' stranger getting into your car would be an unsettling experience. But leaving your own car seems like an overreaction, especially since the individual hadn't yet shown the knife. But then again, maybe the witness had previously experienced something traumatic which caused such a reflex, so who am I to judge really... Thankfully he was caught, both for the family but also for that driver. I can't imagine what it must have felt like knowing you had inadvertently helped somebody get away with murder...

Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

Yes. Absolutely heartbreaking. 💔💔💔
It's very chilling seeing both poor Jill Dando and the detective who would later investigate her murder on the same show.

Why on earth is a man stealing sun tan lotion being featured 😂
Because who knows what ethnicity he'll look like when he commits his next crime once he's finished on his sun lounger?! 😂
Here’s a clue … Because he’s a thief? 🏃

Thank you for any/all tips and for helping to solve crimes.
Those were the days , when in 1997 you would be on national television for nicking a few bottles of sun tan lotion.
Suntan lotion will offer no protection from the long arm of the law
What happened to the other channel that has all theses rare episodes uploaded ? glad redcard74 saved them though ..
The original uploader seemed to hide their identity, as if they didn't want me to see them.
I got the impression they were probably up to no good.
@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 The strange thing about all the uploads were all the episodes had a strong sexual element to them rapes attacks ..

Because of the crimes being committed? I think crime is always taking place, whatever time you live in.
For being able to watch all these great uploads?? Yeah I agree 😉
