Lambs To The Slaughter

Based on the authors' access to police files, this is the story of the UK paedophile ring which abducted and murdered at least three boys - and possibly more than 20 others - in the mid-1980s. The first known victim was seven-year-old Mark Tildesley, who was lured from a fairground in 1984. His body has never been discovered, but he was drugged, stripped, abused and throttled. Barry Lewis, aged six, disappeared in 1985, and the body of Jason Swift, a sad 14-year-old who had slid into the sordid world of rent-boys, was found later that year. Both of them suffered the same fate at the hands of the same killers. Based on the authors' access to police files, this is the story of the UK paedophile ring which abducted and murdered at least three boys - and possibly more than 20 others - in the mid-1980s. The hunt for the killers was among the most complex and sickening ever undertaken by British police.
