On 2 July 1998 Siôn Jenkins was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his foster daughter Billie-Jo Jenkins.On 9 February 2006, after two appeals and two retrials he was finally acquitted. He had spent six years in prison, and from the outset had consistently maintained his complete innocence.
From the outset there were always serious concerns about the verdict, and many unanswered questions about the conduct of the case. In April 1999 this website was launched with the aim of reversing a serious miscarriage of justice. It was dedicated to a detailed analysis of the case.
Today its purpose is:
- to register the fact that Billie-Jo’s killer has never been found.
- to stand as a record of one man’s experience of the law.
- to warn of the need for vigilance, testify to the importance of free speech, and encourage those fighting injustice.
Since I’ve been free I have been asked if I’ve now found peace and some kind of resolution. I will never feel resolution is possible while Billie’s killer walks free . People encourage me to think of ‘moving on’ and putting everything behind me, but my priorities centre on getting justice for Billie.
Since my acquittal I have been reading through every available piece of evidence. I have divided this into relevant sections and with help from other people, I am in the process of trying to re-create the jigsaw of events. I will not rest until Billie’s killer is brought to justice.
I need to know who ended her life. So I work, read and investigate to this end.
Billie will never be forgotten. I will never give up. That is my message to the person who took her life.
Siôn Jenkins.
