Haut de la Garenne BBC News

BBC Interview with Lenny Harper

It is staggering that Lenny Harper and his colleagues both on Jersey and the mainland have been able to collate so much evidence. This must have been a painstaking task and all those involved in the investigation are to be applauded.It is emerging that from the evidence of the victims who have come forward and from the forensic aspect of the enquiry that Haut de la Garenne was a scene of unparalleled child abuse atrocities. Even if the children whose remains have been found were not the victims of homicide the fact that they were not afforded a Christian burial, let alone any kind of dignity demonstrates as the those who are still alive allege by entering the home “you became a lesser being”.It must surely be the wish of all those who have any interest in ensuring that the full truth emerges fully support the on-going police investigation, and this must mean that all assistance that is required is provided. The victims both those who are no longer with us and those still alive deserve nothing less.

In representing my clients I shall be continuing to observe the investigation with interest.
