When the rioters forced the officers back, Blakelock stumbled and fell. Surrounded by a mob of around 50 people, he received over 40 injuries inflicted by <a href="/wiki/Machete" title="Machete">machetes</a> or similar weapons, and was found with a six-inch-long knife in his neck, buried up to the hilt.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrain2010113-2">[2]</a> Detectives came under enormous pressure to find those responsible. Faced with a lack of scientific evidence—because for several hours it had not been possible to secure the crime scene—police officers arrested 359 people, interviewed most of them without lawyers, and laid charges based on untaped confessions.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> Three adults and three youths were charged with the murder; the adults, <a href="/wiki/Winston_Silcott" title="Winston Silcott">Winston Silcott</a>, Engin Raghip and Mark Braithwaite (the "Tottenham Three"), were convicted in 1987. A widely supported campaign arose to overturn the convictions, which were quashed in 1991 when <a href="/wiki/Electrostatic_detection_device" title="Electrostatic detection device">scientific testing</a> cast doubt on the authenticity of detectives' notes of an interview in which Silcott appeared to incriminate himself.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1992214%E2%80%93215-4">[4]</a> Two detectives were charged in 1992 with <a href="/wiki/Perverting_the_course_of_justice" title="Perverting the course of justice">perverting the course of justice</a> and were acquitted in 1994.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1996298%E2%80%93299-5">[5]</a> Police re-opened the murder inquiry in 1992 and again in 2003. Ten men were arrested in 2010 on suspicion of murder, and in 2013 one of them, Nicholas Jacobs, became the seventh person to be charged with Blakelock's murder, based largely on evidence gathered during the 1992 inquiry.

The rioting continued until the early hours of the morning.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Serial_502">Serial 502</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Serial 502" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tangmere_and_Willan_Road,_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Tangmere_and_Willan_Road%2C_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg/220px-Tangmere_and_Willan_Road%2C_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="3264" data-file-height="2448"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 165px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Tangmere_and_Willan_Road%2C_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg/220px-Tangmere_and_Willan_Road%2C_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="165" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Tangmere_and_Willan_Road%2C_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg/330px-Tangmere_and_Willan_Road%2C_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Tangmere_and_Willan_Road%2C_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg/440px-Tangmere_and_Willan_Road%2C_Broadwater_Farm_Estate.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Tangmere block, where Blakelock was killed</figcaption></figure> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox" style="width: 220px;

Dozens of rioters suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. Pengelly told them the police were helping firefighters put out a fire, then they would leave. Suddenly the rioters began blowing whistles, throwing bottles and hacking at the police shields with machetes. Pengelly ordered the officers and firefighters to retreat.

The bombs started exploding, the paving stones were thrown at the officers' helmets, and the riot shields were the only defence against the machetes.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoore2015149%E2%80%93150-56">[55]</a> As the firefighters and police ran out of the stairwell toward a car park and a patch of grass, one of the firefighters, Divisional Fire Officer Trevor Stratford, saw that Blakelock had tripped: "He just stumbled and went down and they were upon him. It was just mob hysteria. ... There were about 50 people on him."<a href="#cite_note-57">[56]</a> The rioters removed Blakelock's protective helmet, which was never found. The pathologist, David Bowen, found 54 holes in Blakelock's overalls, and 40 stabbing or slashing injuries, eight of them to his head, caused by a weapon such as a machete, axe or sword. A six-inch-long knife was buried in his neck up to the hilt. His body was covered in marks from having been kicked or stamped on. His hands and arms were badly cut, and he had lost several fingers trying to defend himself. There were 14 stab wounds on his back, one on the back of his right thigh, and six on his face. Stabbing injuries to his armpits had penetrated his lungs. His head had been turned to one side and his jawbone smashed by a blow that left a six-inch gash across the right side of his head. Bowen said the force of this blow had been "almost as if to sever his head", which gave rise to the view that an attempt had been made to decapitate him.<a href="#cite_note-58">[57]</a><a href="#cite_note-59">[b]</a> A second group surrounded PC Coombes, who sustained a five-inch-long cut to his face, had his neck slit open, and was left with broken upper and lower jaws. As of 2016<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock&action=edit">[update]</a> he was still suffering the effects of the attack, which the police regard as attempted murder, including constant pain, poor hearing and eyesight, epileptic fits, nightmares, and a memory so poor that he was left unable to read a book or drive.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoore2015152-60">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-Craig3Oct2004-53">[52]</a> A third constable, Michael Shepherd, was hit by an iron spike; Shepherd collapsed next to Coombes and placed his shield over him to protect Coombes from the crowd, who were kicking and hitting them both.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoore2015152-60">[58]</a> Several officers and firefighters turned and ran back toward the crowd to try to save Blakelock and Coombes. Sergeant Pengelly, in charge of the serial, turned and ran at the mob, driving them off. Couch, Mr Stratford, and other officers ran back too and managed to pull PC Blakelock away, but by then he had sustained multiple stab wounds and within minutes the 40-year-old father of three was near death.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrain2010113-2">[2]</a> Blakelock was taken by ambulance to the <a href="/wiki/North_Middlesex_Hospital" class="mw-redirect" title="North Middlesex Hospital">North Middlesex Hospital</a> but died on the way.<a href="#cite_note-Rose72-61">[59]</a> Coombes was taken to hospital by fire engine.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMoore2015152-60">[58]</a> Stratford was left with a spinal injury, and 19-year-old PC Maxwell Roberts had been stabbed.

problem was that there was no forensic evidence. Senior officers had not allowed the estate to be sealed off immediately after the attack, which meant that the crime scene had not been secured. Witnesses and those directly involved had been allowed to leave without giving their names, and objects that might have held fingerprints had not been collected. Police had not been allowed into the estate in great numbers until 4 am on 7 October, by which time much of the evidence had disappeared. Whatever remained was removed during <a href="/wiki/Haringey_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Haringey Council">Haringey Council</a>'s clean-up operation.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose199286%E2%80%9387-77">[74]</a> Melvin therefore resorted to arresting suspects—including juveniles, some of them regarded as vulnerable—and holding them for days without access to lawyers.<a href="#cite_note-Pallister19March1991-78">[75]</a> Of the 359 people arrested in 1985 and 1986 in connection with the riot, 94 were interviewed in the presence of a lawyer. Many of the confessions that resulted, whether directly about the murder, or about having taken part in the rioting, were made before the lawyer was given access to the interviewee, according to Rose.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1992110-79">[76]</a> When people did confess to even a minor role in the rioting, such as throwing a few stones, they were charged with <a href="/wiki/Affray" title="Affray">affray</a>. One resident told the 1986 Gifford Inquiry into the rioting: "You would go to bed and you would just lie there and you would think, are they going to come and kick my door, what's going to happen to my children? ... It was that horrible fear that you lived with day by day, knowing they could come and kick down your door and hold you for hours." The inquiry heard that 9,165 police officers were either deployed on the estate or held in reserve between 10 and 14 October 1985. Thus, argues Rose, the police created, or at least intensified, a climate of fear in which witnesses were afraid to step forward.<a href="#cite_note-80">[77]</a> Melvin defended his decision to hold people without access to legal advice by arguing that lawyers, unwittingly or otherwise, might pass information they had gleaned during interviews to other suspects. He said under cross-examination during the 1987 murder trial that, in his view, "the integrity of some firms of solicitors left a lot to be desired"; he believed solicitors were being retained by people who had an interest in learning what other suspects had said.<a href="#cite_note-81">[78]</a><a href="#cite_note-Rose20March1987-82">[79]</a> The Crown prosecutor, Roy Amlot QC, told the court during the first trial that the police had one effective weapon, namely that suspects did not know who else had spoken to police and what they had said, and that "the use of that weapon by the police was legitimate and effective".<a href="#cite_note-83">[80]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="(1985–1986)_Murder_charges">(1985–1986) Murder charges</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: (1985–1986) Murder charges" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Mark_Pennant">Mark Pennant</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Mark Pennant" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Mark Pennant, aged 15, was arrested on 9 October 1985 and charged with murder two days later, the first to be charged.

Arrested and handcuffed at school, he was taken to Wood Green Police Station and interviewed six times over the course of two days, with a teacher in attendance. His mother was not told that he had been taken into custody, and the police reportedly told him that she had refused to help him. He told the police that he had cut Blakelock and kicked him twice, and he named Winston Silcott as the ringleader, and several others, including another juvenile, Mark Lambie.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1992104%E2%80%93109-84">[81]</a> When charged with the murder, he asked the teacher who accompanied him: "Does that mean I have to go and live with you?"<a href="#cite_note-Rose20March1987-82">[79]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Jason_Hill">Jason Hill</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Jason Hill" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Jason Hill, a 13-year-old white boy who lived on Broadwater Farm, was seen looting from a store in the Tangmere block during the riot, near where Blakelock was killed. He was arrested on 13 October 1985 and taken to Leyton Police Station, where he was held for three days without access to a lawyer. He reported being kept in a very hot cell, which he said made sleeping and even breathing difficult. His clothes and shoes were removed for forensic tests and he was interviewed wearing only underpants and a blanket, the latter of which by the third day of detention was stained with his own vomit. Hyacinth Moody of the Haringey Community Relations Council sat in as an "appropriate adult"; she was criticized by the judge for having failed to intervene.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose199250,_141,_145%E2%80%93146-85">[82]</a> Over the course of several interviews, Hill told police that he had witnessed the attack and named Silcott and others, including Mark Lambie.<a href="#cite_note-Rose1992p142-86">[83]</a> He described almost a ritualistic killing and said that Silcott—whom he called "Sticks"—had forced him to make his "mark" on Blakelock with a sword.

He was born in Tottenham in 1959; his parents, both <a href="/wiki/Seventh-day_Adventists" class="mw-redirect" title="Seventh-day Adventists">Seventh-day Adventists</a>, had arrived in England from <a href="/wiki/Montserrat" title="Montserrat">Montserrat</a> two years earlier.<a href="#cite_note-95">[92]</a> He told Rose that he had experienced racism throughout his entire upbringing, particularly from the police. After leaving school at 15, he took a series of low-paying jobs and in 1976 began breaking into houses. The following year he was convicted of nine counts of burglary and sent to <a href="/wiki/Borstal" title="Borstal">borstal</a> for a few months, and in 1979 he was sentenced to six months for wounding.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose199221%E2%80%9324,_26%E2%80%9327,_91-96">[93]</a> In September 1980 he stood trial for the murder of 19-year-old Lennie McIntosh, a postal worker, who was stabbed and killed at a party in Muswell Hill in 1979.<a href="#cite_note-97">[94]</a> The first trial resulted in a hung jury; a second trial saw him acquitted.<a href="#cite_note-McKillop20Mar1987-98">[95]</a> In 1983, Silcott was given a government grant to open a greengrocer's on the deck of the Tangmere block of Broadwater Farm. More convictions followed: in October that year he was fined for possessing a flick knife and in March 1984 for obstructing police. In 1985 he made the news when he told <a href="/wiki/Diana,_Princess_of_Wales" title="Diana, Princess of Wales">Diana, Princess of Wales</a>, who was on an official visit to Broadwater Farm, that she should not have come without bringing jobs, which The Sun interpreted as a threat.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose199293%E2%80%9394-99">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-100">[97]</a> In December 1984 Silcott was arrested for the murder of a 22-year-old boxer, Anthony Smith, at a party in Hackney. Smith had been slashed more than once on his face, there were two wounds to his abdomen, a lung had been lacerated and his <a href="/wiki/Aorta" title="Aorta">aorta</a> cut. Silcott was charged with the murder in May 1985 and was out on bail when Blakelock was killed in October that year. At first he told police he had not known Smith and had not been at the party, although at trial he acknowledged having been there. He said Smith had started punching him, and that he had pushed Smith back but had not been carrying a knife. Silcott was convicted of Smith's murder in February 1986, while awaiting trial for the Blakelock murder, and was sentenced to life imprisonment; he was released in 2003 after serving 17 years.<a href="#cite_note-101">[98]</a> After the conviction he told his lawyer he had indeed known Smith, that there had been bad blood between them, and that he had stabbed the man in self-defence, because one of Smith's friends had had a knife.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1992234%E2%80%93235-102">[99]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading5"><h5 id="Disputed_interview">Disputed interview</h5> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Disputed interview" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Known as "Sticks" locally, Silcott was living in the Martlesham block of Broadwater Farm at the time of the riots,<a href="#cite_note-McKillop20Mar1987-98">[95]</a> and was running his greengrocer's shop in the Tangmere block, the block near the spot where Blakelock was killed.<a href="#cite_note-Barling27Feb2004-103">[100]</a> He told David Rose in 2004 that he had been in the Tangmere block on the night of the death, and had stopped someone from throwing a scaffolding pole through the window of his shop.

During the first four interviews, Silcott stayed mostly silent and refused to sign the detectives' notes, but during the fifth interview on 13 October, when Melvin said he knew Silcott had struck Blakelock with a machete or sword, his demeanour changed, according to the notes.<a href="#cite_note-Bennett29June1994-106">[103]</a> The notes show him asking: "Who told you that?"<a href="#cite_note-Bennett29June1994-106">[103]</a> When the detectives said they had witnesses, he reportedly said: "They are only kids. No one is going to believe them." The notes say he walked around the interview room with tears in his eyes, saying: "You cunts, you cunts", and "Jesus, Jesus", then: "You ain't got enough evidence. Those kids will never go to court. You wait and see. No one else will talk to you. You can't keep me away from them." The notes show him saying of the murder weapons: "You're too slow, man, they gone." He was at that point charged with murder, to which he reportedly responded: "They won't give evidence against me."<a href="#cite_note-Rose132-107">[104]</a> It was this interview that led to Silcott's <a href="#Appeal">conviction for murder being overturned</a>.

Raghip left school at age 15, illiterate, and by the time of the murder had three convictions, one for burglary and two for stealing cars. He had a common-law wife, Sharon Daly, with whom he had a two-year-old boy, and he worked occasionally as a mechanic. He had little connection with Broadwater Farm, although he lived in nearby <a href="/wiki/Wood_Green" title="Wood Green">Wood Green</a> and had gone to the Farm with two friends to watch the riot, he said. One of those friends, John Broomfield, gave an interview to the Daily Mirror on 23 October 1985, boasting about his involvement. When Broomfield was arrested, he implicated Raghip. Broomfield was later convicted of an unrelated murder.<a href="#cite_note-Rose1992p160-108">[105]</a> At the time of Raghip's arrest, he had been drinking and smoking cannabis for several days, and his common-law wife had just left him, taking their son with her. He was held for two days without representation, first speaking to a solicitor on the third day, who said he had found Raghip distressed and disoriented.<a href="#cite_note-Gudjonssonp464-111">[108]</a> He was interviewed by Det Sgt van Thal and Det Insp John Kennedy ten times over a period of four days. He made several incriminating statements, first that he had thrown stones, then during the second interview that he had seen the attack on Blakelock. During the third, he said he had spoken to Silcott about the murder, and that Silcott owned a hammer with a hook on one side. After the fifth interview he was charged with affray, and during the sixth he described the attack on Blakelock: "It was like you see in a film, a helpless man with dogs on him. It was just like that, it was really quick." He did not sign this interview, Rose writes, and after it he vomited.<a href="#cite_note-Rose162-112">[109]</a> During a seventh interview the next day, Raghip described noises he said Blakelock had made during the attack. During the eighth interview, he said he had armed himself that night with a broom handle, and had tried to get close to what was happening to Blakelock, but there were too many people around him: "I had a weapon when I was running toward the policeman, a broom handle." He said he might have kicked or hit him had he been able to get close enough. Rose writes that Raghip also offered the order in which Blakelock's attackers had launched the assault. He was held for another two days, released on bail, then charged with murder six weeks later, in December 1985, under the doctrine of <a href="/wiki/Common_purpose" title="Common purpose">common purpose</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Rose162-112">[109]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Mark_Braithwaite">Mark Braithwaite</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Mark Braithwaite" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><table class="infobox"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12KIqDcSzmY&t=9m25s">Mark Braithwaite</a>, speaking in April 2014, from 00:09:25.</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header" style="background-color: #8C92AC">Overview</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label">Born</th><td class="infobox-data">c. 1967, London</td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label">Occupation in 1985</th><td class="infobox-data">Rapper, disc jockey</td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label">Criminal charge(s)</th><td class="infobox-data">Murder of Keith Blakelock (1987, overturned 1991)</td></tr></tbody></table> Aged 18 when Blakelock was killed, Mark Braithwaite was a rapper and disc jockey living with his parents in <a href="/wiki/Islington" title="Islington">Islington</a>, London, <a href="/wiki/N_postcode_area" title="N postcode area">N1</a>. He had a girlfriend who lived on Broadwater Farm, with whom he had a child. On 16 January 1986, three months after the murder, his name was mentioned for the first time to detectives by a man they had arrested, Bernard Kinghorn. Kinghorn told them he had seen Braithwaite, whom he said he knew only by sight, stab Blakelock with a kitchen knife. Kinghorn later withdrew the allegation, telling the BBC three years later that it had been false.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1992169%E2%80%93170-113">[110]</a> Braithwaite was taken to Enfield Police Station and interviewed by Det Sgt Dermot McDermott and Det Con Colin Biggar.

He was interviewed eight times over the first two days, and with a lawyer present four times on the third.<a href="#cite_note-Rose172-114">[111]</a> During the first 30 hours of his detention he had nothing to eat, and said in court—as did several other suspects—that the heat in the cells was oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1992182%E2%80%93183-115">[112]</a> He at first denied being anywhere near the Farm, then during interview four said he had been there and had thrown stones, and during interview five said he had been at the Tangmere block, but had played no role in the murder. During interview six, he said he had hit Blakelock with an iron bar in the chest and leg. Rose writes that there were no such injuries on Blakelock's body. In a seventh interview, he said he had hit a police officer, but that it was not Blakelock.

The test can identify a small electrostatic charge left on a page when the page above it is written on; in this way, the test's developers say, the chronological integrity of interview notes can be determined.<a href="#cite_note-Rose214-133">[130]</a> In Silcott's case, according to the scientist who conducted the ESDA test, Robert Radley, the notes from the section of the fifth interview in which Silcott appeared to incriminate himself had been inserted after the other notes were written.<a href="#cite_note-Rose18Jan2004-104">[101]</a> The seventh and final page of the fifth interview, where the participants would normally sign, was missing.<a href="#cite_note-Rose214-133">[130]</a> The ESDA test suggested that, on the third to sixth pages of the interview, no impressions had been left from previous pages, although these earlier impressions appeared throughout the rest of the notes. According to Will Bennett in <a href="/wiki/The_Independent" title="The Independent">The Independent</a>, the test "also revealed an imprint of a different page five from the one submitted in evidence which was clearly the same interview with Silcott but in which he made no implicit admissions".<a href="#cite_note-Bennett29June1994-106">[103]</a> In addition to this, David Baxendale, a Home Office forensic scientist who was asked to investigate by Essex police, said that the paper on which the disputed notes were written came from a different batch of paper from the rest of the interview.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1992215%E2%80%93216-134">[131]</a> The disputed section of the interview had been written down by Det Insp Maxwell Dingle.

By the end of 1993, Rose writes, Nove had identified nine suspects against whom at least two eyewitnesses would testify, supported by evidence such as photographs.<a href="#cite_note-Rose1996p300-141">[138]</a> The suspect list included <a href="#Nicholas_Jacobs">Nicholas Jacobs</a>, who in 2014 would be tried for Blakelock's murder, based on statements gathered during the Nove investigation, and acquitted. It transpired during Jacobs' trial that two of the witnesses who testified against him had been paid expenses to the tune of thousands of pounds during Nove's inquiry.<a href="#cite_note-Barrett9April2014-142">[139]</a> In parallel with the second investigation, a case was being prepared against Det Ch Supt Melvin and Det Insp Dingle. In July 1992 Melvin was charged with perjury and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, and Dingle with conspiracy.<a href="#cite_note-143">[140]</a> In 1994 their lawyers applied for access to information from Nove's inquiry, on the grounds that it might help their clients; anything that implicated Silcott would support the detectives' contention that their interview notes were genuine and that Silcott had, in effect, confessed. The lawyers argued that the detectives should not be prosecuted until all related criminal proceedings had concluded.<a href="#cite_note-Rose1996p300-141">[138]</a> Nove fought the application because he had promised his witnesses confidentiality, but he agreed to give the lawyers access to relevant passages from seven witness statements that implicated Silcott. The witnesses themselves refused to testify, so the passages were read out to the jury during the detectives' trial.<a href="#cite_note-Rose1996p300-141">[138]</a> According to Rose, only one of the statements seriously implicated Silcott, alleging that he had acted "like a general, sending out his little troops", and that he had joined in the attack himself.<a href="#cite_note-Rose1996p302-144">[141]</a> The day before the detectives' trial began in 1994, the Crown Prosecution Service announced that the nine suspects would not be prosecuted because it was not in the public interest.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERose1996305-145">[142]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="(1994)_Trial:_R_v_Melvin_and_Dingle"> (1994) Trial: R v Melvin and Dingle</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Keith_Blakelock&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: (1994) Trial: R v Melvin and Dingle" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1257001546"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251680060"><table class="infobox scotus ib-court-case"><tbody><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-above fn">R v Melvin and Dingle</th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="infobox-image"><a href="/wiki/File:Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court,_Old_Bailey.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court%2C_Old_Bailey.jpg/180px-Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court%2C_Old_Bailey.jpg" decoding="async" width="180" height="252" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="2783" data-file-height="3896"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 180px;height: 252px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court%2C_Old_Bailey.jpg/180px-Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court%2C_Old_Bailey.jpg" data-width="180" data-height="252" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court%2C_Old_Bailey.jpg/270px-Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court%2C_Old_Bailey.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court%2C_Old_Bailey.jpg/360px-Entrance_to_the_Central_Criminal_Court%2C_Old_Bailey.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a></td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label">Court</th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/Old_Bailey" title="Old Bailey">Central Criminal Court</a> (Old Bailey)</td></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label">Decided</th><td class="infobox-data">26 July 1994</td></tr><tr><th colspan="2" class="infobox-header">Court membership</th></tr><tr><th scope="row" class="infobox-label">Judge sitting</th><td class="infobox-data"><a href="/wiki/Edwin_Jowitt" title="Edwin Jowitt">Mr. Justice Jowitt</a></td></tr></tbody></table> The trial of Det Ch Supt Melvin and Det Insp Dingle opened in June 1994 at the Old Bailey before <a href="/wiki/Edwin_Jowitt" title="Edwin Jowitt">Mr. Justice Jowitt</a>.

They included <a href="#Juveniles">Jason Hill</a>, the 13-year-old who had been held for three days in his underpants and a blanket, without access to his parents or a lawyer. (Hill received £30,000 in damages from the police over his treatment.)

He was a member of the Park Lane Crew, a Tottenham gang that he said Jacobs had also joined. Approached by police again during Nove's second inquiry, Brown said in a statement in August 1993 that Jacobs was a "nutter" who was "out to get blood" that night.
