Description: Who Really Killed Claire? re - investigates the brutal yet apparently motiveless murder of 16 - year - old Claire Tiltman in Greenhithe Kent in 1993. It describes how police investigations faltered for almost 20 years until Colin Ash - Smith due to be released from a long prison sentence for attacks on young women was belatedly charged with this cold case murder. One of the UK's very first cases involving 'bad character evidence under a controversial new law. Expertly researched the book revisits the crime scene investigation prosecution media frenzy and questionable urgency that led to Ash - Smith's pre - emptive arrest and conviction for murder. Meanwhile A predatory serial killer was eliminated from the investigation despite 'hallmarks making him a strong suspect. Well placed to raise doubts ex - cold case investigator Alan Jackaman analyses the wholly circumstantial evidence and explains why he believes police became too preoccupied with the wrong man. Alan Jackaman spent over 25 years as a police officer including with the Metropolitan Police dedicated Murder Investigation Team and Murder Review Group looking into unsolved murders. He is the author of Napper: Through a Glass Darkly.
