Lynette White...

It's always a bit weird when you can remember exactly what you were doing on a certain day a year or two ago. I'm not talking about red letter days such as birthdays or Christmas but ordinary days. It's a rarity indeed when that day was 5 or 10 years ago.

I can remember exactly what I was doing on February 14th 1988 (nearly 24 years ago) and the reason for that is because it was the day that Lynette White, a Cardiff prostitute, was murdered after being stabbed more than 50 times in a docks flat here in Cardiff.

I was working in the area on that day and was subsequently interviewed by the police; not as a suspect but as a potential witness. As it turned out, I disappointed them because I only left the office once and for a short period only. I saw nothing.

Over the years there have been numerous occasions to remember that day; there have been 3 murder trials, 1 appeal, 1 IPCC investigation, 1 perjury trial and 1 police corruption trial. These have all made headlines in South Wales with all the Welsh news channels giving them plenty of airtime.

The corruption trial collapsed in November 2011 because it was discovered that vital documents had been destroyed. The judge ordered that the officers be acquitted because a fair trial without the missing documents would not have been possible.

Today, it has been announced, those documents have been found and a review has been ordered by Director of Public Prosecutions.
