Rent boy at the age of 14, now a passionate researcher into the historic abuse/murder of young boys in the UK, particularly those that are still unsolved.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

Back on after a brief hiatus. I have a vast collection of material (growing all the time) relating to the historical abuse and murder of young boys in the UK (newspapers, photos, etc.). if you have any queries regarding my posts, or individual cases, please feel free to DM me.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

Fairly obvious now why two areas in the E17 postcode district were stated as being resting places for boys.

@Ian_Puddick @GoodLawProject @andrewfeinstein @georgegalloway Good decision. For once!

@Ian_Puddick Those were the days.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

@CroydonRockets If you are talking about the gentleman that was murdered in Plumstead, then noone supplied boys to him. One does not supply 17/18 year olds. They are more than capable of supplying themselves. I'll PM you on this.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

What I am trying to say is this: If you ignore William Lambert then are very few people that would taken a boy of Lee's age with intent to murder, particularly in that year. Lots of adult males would have been attracted to him (he was a very cute looking boy), but...

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

By the way, I am not talking about the den of iniquity that was Holts.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

What is it with certain shoe shops and boy abuse? A captive audience, perhaps?

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

attraction to cuteness does not equate to murder. That is the problem. I know because I have lived that life. That is why Lee's case is very interesting.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

showing Lee something that he was interested in. I believe that one scenario is that Lee went with this individual to his home, before the game, and a certain altercation occured whilst at the residence and Lee's body was disposed of either in the back garden, or nearby.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

In fact, I would go as far to say that -- and as I have stated on a few occasions before -- I believe that Lee may very well have been going to watch the football but encountered someone before the game and that said person enticed Lee with a promise of...

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

If William Lambert was not responsible for the death of Lee Boxell, then you are faced with -- given the year and Lee's age -- a very small amount of individuals, on record, that were capable of murder.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

The case of Lee Boxell has serious problems with regards the Modus Operandi. I believe the police are well aware of this. Lee was not between the age of 11-14, which narrows not only the field of culprits down, but also the circumstances.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

@approveds The body of Michael John Trower had lain in position for at least four months before being found, as such, his cause of death was unascertainable. Fractures to the skull were interesting but not definitive. As with David Lawrence, I would be cautious about the DNA evidence.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

The home of 13-year-old Michael John Trower: 27 Brunswick Place, Hove. Michael would have resided in Flat 4 of this building, which, I believe, was a basement flat; however I am not certain of this fact.

@AlexPanton1 Well that wouldn't surprise me, Alex. Those sorts of places are (and were) prime places for those sorts of individuals. Met many, myself, when younger.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

@AlexPanton1 The Modus Operandi is not that of Nilsen. It is true, however, that Brighton -- along with other seaside towns on that particular stretch of coastline-- has had its fair share of paedophile connections. There are many others named 'Dennis' to choose from.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

@AlexPanton1 Many Thanks for this, Alex. Very interesting piece. As I am aware, Michael was 13 when he went missing (and, sadly, died) not 14. There was a 'Dennis' mentioned in the early investigation -- which immediately sets alarm bells ringing. Plus the shallow grave also.

[Stephen Russell @coldcaseboysuk]

The, sadly, unmarked grave of Michael John Trower.
