Apology casts new doubt over Eddie Gilfoyle’s conviction for wife murder


The Attorney-General, has apologised after Parliament was given wrong information about a prisoner who has spent 18 years, of his life sentence, denying that he murdered his pregnant wife and faked her suicide. In a new revelation, the Government has now disclosed that police withheld, even from prosecution lawyers at the trial, an internal report into blunders made by officers at the scene. New doubts about the way in which the case has been handled have been raised after it was discovered that Merseyside CPS had given unreliable information to the Solicitor-General about when it first received the report.

While I read this article I increasingly started to believe that Eddie Gilfoyle is in fact not guilty of the murder of his wife. Too many things were covered up, that I come to the conclusion that the police officers solving that case just wanted to get rid of it quickly. I think that it is so sad that there are still people suffering behind bars for a crime they did not commit. It is not always easy to be sure, but in this case I really miss the evidence that should have proven Gilfoyle is indeed guilty. Hopefully the truth will come out soon.
