About Hewlett’s death, FOUR months ago, The Sun finishes the article with a: “He was in Portugal when Maddie was snatched and left for Morocco three weeks later. And he told a pal he knew gipsies who sold children to perverts. Hewlett's German second wife Mariana, 35, refused to comment.”
From what I was told from a reliable source, a pal of a pal, who knew the pal that spoke with the referred paper, what The Sun didn’t do was to print the rest of Mariana’s statement: “And why don’t you f*ck off out of here, and go find some other poor b*gger for your fabricated stories?”
As I see it, that’s censorship.
What ever this man has done in the past and as horrific as his crimes were. Hewlett is INNOCENT of any involvement in Madeleines DEATH:
ReplyDeleteAs Gerry has said 'There is no EVIDENCE to inplicate US in her DEATH'...There is evidence Gerry but not enough to charge you. Thats the difference.
Iron,
ReplyDeleteMay I make a slight correction to your statement?
"There is evidence Gerry, but there's POWER enough not to charge you. Thats the difference"
Absence of Evidence is NOT Evidence of Absence.
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected Tex. and have a good day.

Blackpool Maddie suspect dies
ReplyDeleteRaymond Hewlett
Published Date: 12 April 2010
A BLACKPOOL paedophile, who was a prime suspect in the hunt for Madeleine McCann, has died.
Private detectives working for the McCann family wanted to question Raymond Hewlett - who grew up in Marton - about the youngster's disappearance.
They believed the 64-year-old, a convicted rapist, bore a striking resemblance to the description of a straggly haired man who was seen near the McCann's apartment on the night of her disappearance.
He was also thought to have been living in Portugal, just an hour away from the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz, when she disappeared in May 2007.
It is believed he left for Morocco three weeks later.
But the former serviceman - who grew up in a semi-detached house on Hawes Side Lane - was in ill health by the time investigators wanted to question him and living in Germany with a new wife.
Hewlett was suffering from throat cancer.
And now it has been revealed he has died and will take any knowledge of the McCann case he may have had with him to the grave.
Hewlett had a long record of sex attacks on young girls and was wanted by police in Britain for offences dating back more than 30 years.
When Hewlett's name was linked to the case, former neighbours in Blackpool told The Gazette Hewlett was "very strange" and said it was "frightening" to hear he had been linked with Madeleine's disappearance.
The former neighbour, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "He was born on Hawes Side Lane just a few doors down and he had two sisters who were quite a bit older than him.
"He was a bit younger than me but I remember him well and he was always very strange and a bit weird."
The son of a Blackpool baker, Hewlett was one of seven brothers and sisters in a large family.
He spent time in the Scots Guards and worked on fairgrounds before later committing a string of sexual offences.
In 1972 he was jailed after abducting a 12-year-old girl and taking her to the moors near his home in Todmorden, West Yorkshire.
He had incapacitated her with a rag soaked in paint thinner.
She narrowly escaped being raped.
In 1978 Hewlett attacked another girl, this time putting a gun to her back but she too managed to escape.
He was jailed for four years for that offence.
Then in 1988 he was jailed again after attacking a newspaper delivery girl.
He was also questioned over the murder of 11-year-old Lesley Molseed, who was found in a lay-by in Ripponden,West Yorkshire, in October 1975.
Hewlett was identified as a suspect after Stefan Kiszko, who was originally convicted of the murder and spent 16 years in jail, had his conviction overturned.
Ronald Castree, a taxi driver from Shaw, near Oldham, was later convicted of the killing.
Hewlett always protested his innocence in the McCann case.
It was reported he spoke to journalists outside his hospital to declare he had nothing to hide.
"I didn't kill that McCann girl," he was reported to have said.
Maddie Suspect’ Dies With His Secrets

Convicted child rapist who McCann detectives tried to interview dies in Germany...
A paedophile who was a prime suspect in the hunt for Madeleine McCann has died - taking any secrets he had to the grave.
Convicted child rapist Raymond Hewlett, 64, died of throat cancer and was cremated at a pauper's funeral in Germany four months ago.
His ex-wife Susan, 64, and children in Telford, Shropshire, were unaware of his death.
Two private detectives hired by Maddie's parents Kate and Gerry went to Aachen, Germany, at least three times in a bid to interview Hewlett.
But a source said "He always wriggled out of it, saying he was too sick to see them. He was never eliminated from the inquiry."
Maddie, of Rothley, Leics, was three when she vanished on holiday in Portugal in May 2007. Ex-soldier Hewlett bore a close resemblance to a straggly-haired man seen lurking near the McCann apartment.
