Noel O'Gara is an controversial Irish individual.

His website is : http://www.yorkshireripper.co.uk.

He believes he knows the identity of the Yorkshire Ripper, that the person who was convicted was actually a "copycat" killer and responsible for only a few of the many brutal murders.

O'Gara believes that the actual Yorkshire Ripper is an Irishman who was formerly employed by him and who is still at large. O'Gara has been campaigning for years about this, and believes that the reason his former employee was not convicted of the murders is that he was actually a supergrass employed by the British government.

It is his belief that Peter Sutcliffe who was convicted of ALL the murders, was set up by the British police to calm a terrified public and to stop public speculation from landing on the true murderer, who O'Gara is convinced was protected from prosecution due to his value as an informer.

O'Gara has a bit of a reputation online, as one can see by reading the Usenet postings about him. One could argue that anyone in his situation, who believes they have proof of a huge cover-up by the British government, a cover-up that would have to include many police officers and other government employees would quite easily be characterized a "kook" due to the difficulty of arguing their case, particularly when it involves something as earthshaking as allowing the false imprisonment of individuals chosen to take the "rap" for the crimes and the outright lies by government officials and the forensic scientists involved.

O'Gara's theories cross paths with my own in regard to an individual named Ronald Castree.

O'Gara provides some strong arguments regarding the Castree conviction in the Lesley Molseed case; arguing that Castree was convicted based on false DNA evidence.

I agree that this is extremely likely to be true, and that like Stephan Kiszko before him, Castree was set up to take the fall for an individual actually responsible for the Molseed murder, an individual who had been recruited as a supergrass and sent to Ireland to provide information to the British government regarding Irish terrorists.

Our paths take different directions from that point on.

O'Gara believes that Molseed was actually murdered by the same individual responsible for the Yorkshire Ripper murders.

I believe that Molseed was very likely murdered by Raymond Hewlett, the man who was the prime suspect in the case for decades, and who left for Ireland the day after the murders and managed to escape arrest throughout the many years he was sought in regard to the Molseed murder and another rape case.

Like O'Gara's theory of the Yorkshire Ripper case, I believe that it is very likely that Hewlett's freedom was won due to his position as an informer for the Brits, protected due to his value to them going undercover in Ireland to report on the IRA.

I'll attempt to lay out my argument at length and would welcome feedback and correction to anything I have misunderstood or omitted.

Facts:

Raymond Hewlett was the main suspect in the Molseed murders.

The murder occurred in Manchester, England on 5 October 1975.

( Note: Henri Exton headed the Greater Manchester Police undercover unit from (?) until 1993. He recruited supergrasses.)

Hewlett left for Ireland (Co. Donegal) the day after Lesley Molseed was killed.

An innocent man, Stefan Kiszko, spent decades in prison after being convicted for the murder.

Kiszko's mother never stopped trying to fight his wrongful conviction. Raymond Kiszko developed skitzophrenia in prison and died shortly after his eventual release. His mother died a few months after her son's death, to her grave believing that Raymond Hewlett was the true killer of Lesley Molseed.

The book "INNOCENTS" was written about the Molseed case by Jonathan Rose, Barrister, Steve Panter, MEN Reporter and Trevor Wilkinson, Detective Superintendent. Their conclusion was that Lesley Molseed's murderer was Raymond Hewlett.

During the Kiszko trial, evidence that could have proven his innocence was not presented at trial. Like CO'Gara and others, I believe this was done deliberately by the police and by the forensic experts involved in the case.

Like O'Gara I believe this was done in order to protect the true killer, who was protected due to his role as a supergrass. O'Gara and I do not agree about the identity of the supergrass, but the arguement as to WHY this was done is the same.

There was much public outcry after Stefan Kiszko's release from prison. His case was covered all over the world as one of the worst miscarriages of justice to have ever taken place in the United Kingdom.

The Molseed case was reopened, and Hewlett was again the prime suspect and allegedly the focus of a huge manhunt, including Scotland Yard, Interpol and the Irish Gardai.

News articles during that period provide one example after another of Hewlett disappearing either immediately before or immediately after a visit by police. He was known to have lived near Letterkenny, in County Donegal (allegedly in a "hippy" camp), in a number of cities in the South, and eventually for a number of years in Dundalk.

Recently Hewlett was back in the news in regard to the Madeleine McCann case. I will present my argument slowly, and will back it up with news articles to support my theory.

My theory is basically this:

Raymond Hewlett was offered a deal to claim responsibility for the "abduction" of Madeleine McCann in exchange for money paid to his family. Hewlett is dying of throat cancer. It should be noted that Henri Exton (see earlier posts) had investigators under cover in the gypsy communities "throughout Europe". I will present articles stating that Hewlett was associating with the gypsy community in Portugal. I believe he was contacted and offered a deal.

Further, Real IRA members are currently in court over charges related to their alleged use of proceeds from a restaurant in Alvor, Portugal, very near to Praia da Luz to support terrorism.

It would not be improbable that there were undercover operations going on in that region of the Algarve. It would not be improbable that Raymond Hewlett's presence there might have to do with some kind of surveillance.
