Ronald De Souza, the last remaining member of the Stockwell Six, could have his conviction overturned after over 50 years. The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) has referred his case to the Court of Appeal following a review, concluding it is 'materially indistinguishable' from the convictions of his co-defendants which were quashed in 2021. The convictions of the group, accused of attempting to rob a police officer in 1972, were overturned based on new information casting doubt on the reliability of the officer's evidence.
The final member of the Stockwell Six , a group of friends accused of trying to rob a corrupt police officer more than 50 years ago, could have his name cleared after his conviction was referred to the Court of Appeal.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission , which investigates miscarriages of justice, has now reviewed Mr De Souza's conviction. Ridgewell, who previously served in the South Rhodesian, now Zimbabwean, police force, was involved in a number of high-profile and controversial cases in the early 1970s and was convicted of stealing in 1980.
