Roger Vincent's Deal with The Police
- Roger
Vincent and David Smith were both arrested on suspicion of murdering
Robert Magill on 16-12-94. Smith was interviewed twice on that date
before being released without charge. Both Vincent and Smith are
recorded in the police evidence as supplying information to the police
upon their arrest.
- DC
Spackman claims that Vincent approached him in the presence of DC
Kennedy shortly after he was charged and said that he would provide an
innocent explanation for his fingerprints in the vehicle used in the
murder along with information about those responsible in return for the
charges being dropped. Spackman made a number of other claims in both
his statements dated 21-12-1994. The information Vincent supplied to
Spackman formed part of the original Public Immunity Interest material
and was not disclosed to Kevin’s legal team until some years after he
was convicted. The PII material contained allegations that Kevin was
the gunmen responsible for the murder of Robert Magill along with other
murders across the country.
- The
CPS recently notified Kevin’s legal team that their entire case papers
have been forwarded to the CCRC and that they are not in a position to
answer enquiries. For years the CPS refused to acknowledge that
material existed that undermined Kevin’s conviction and further
supports that Roger Vincent supplied information to the Hertfordshire
Police. Kevin welcomes any legal action challenging the material in his
legal team’s possession that supports Roger Vincent supplied
information to the Hertfordshire Police.
