A Killer's Confession: How I Brought My Daughter’s Murderer to Justice ハードカバー – 2019/8/22
購入オプションとあわせ買い
A mother's fight to bring her daughter's killer, Christopher Halliwell, to justice
'I have lived every parent's worst nightmare. On what would have been my daughter's 29th birthday, Detective Superintendent Stephen Fulcher knocked on the door and told me my beautiful Becky was dead. Found buried in a shallow grave in a remote field, Becky had been brutally murdered.'
When Becky Godden-Edwards was killed, her mother Karen awoke to a world where the truth was never guaranteed; where taxi driver Christopher Halliwell got away with murder and the police officer who found her daughter was punished instead.
This is Karen's story. Despite unimaginable tragedy, her love for her daughter has been unbreakable: from her despair through Becky's troubled teenage years, to the agonising eight years when Becky was missing, and then the dramatic story of how a killer's confession led to a terrible discovery.
The one constant has been Karen's determination to fight for Becky, tirelessly campaigning for the truth about what happened to be heard and for Halliwell to face the consequences of his evil actions.
*The murders of Becky Godden-Edwards and Sian O'Callaghan will soon be the focus of major new ITV series A Confession starring Martin Freeman as Stephen Fulcher and Imelda Staunton as Karen Edwards*

What Karen and Steve Flucher went through to see that a murderer was punished, is inexcusable. There was something rotten in Denmark.
I hated to put this book down. It was well written and the author put her thoughts together to write a truly beautiful story.


When I picked it back up again, I realized, that while I was correct in my precognition, I was wrong about this books intentions. I've read of injustice many times before, hell I've come to expect it here in these great United States of ours; par for the course of admission. But Britain? I didn't realize just how much the laws hindered there as here.
But what this family went through is almost inconceivable, especially given that the murderer confessed!
Becky Godden-Edwards (the victim), Karen Edwards & Charlie Edwards suffered at the hands of Chris Halliwell (the murderer) and DSupt Fulcher (detective/police) was crucified for having done the right thing. Halliwell was convicted of Sian's murder but it took years for him to be convicted for Becky's murder.
As Karen said, "rules were making a mockery of justice" ... and in attempting to define my own reactions, realized the author/mother had described it best. Rules are rules, law is The Law but it all comes down to interpretation and it would take a different judge with his own perceptions to right the wrong. Personally, the judge who allowed Halliwell to go free (not literally but free as to Becky's murder) should have been relieved of her duties since her personal interpretation was wholly incorrect.
"What right did the law have to play with the truth, with facts?" Evidence of simplicity where the rules of law collide with facts and encumber the very laws that should convict and then provide immunity to the murderer. Really? We're going to protect the rights of the murderer over the rights of the victim? This was all due to what's called a Breach of PACE.
Hence, I clearly changed my mind about the importance and relevance of this book and for that I apologize. And, I was just as upset for Steve Fulcher as I was for Becky's mother Karen. How does a man get relieved of his duties for ensuring a murderer does not go free; and in taking advantage of the opportunity that presented itself to learn where the remains of the victim were hidden? No, he didn't infringe upon Halliwell's rights, in my opinion. He simply listened to what the monster had to say.
