The Rathband Tapes

The inquest: cover-up or covering yourself? Hear how Darren and Tony had to ask to give statements. Then litigation. How on earth did the judge exonerate Northumbria Police?

Why were three funerals? Because there were at least three agendas...

The end is nigh. David meltsdown on Twitter, returns home from Australia and takes his own life. It is 29 February 2012.

Two trips to Oz. Who is Lisa French? Did Darren see that the end was nigh?

What happens when your 15 minutes of fame is up? 'They build you up and knock you down' - we have all heard that phrase. We analyse the whole process in case study of how the unprepared become front page news and then on a whim or a whisper, become persona non grata.

The trial is over. Awaiting the verdict has been agony. 'I have a lifetime ahead. They have a lifetime to reflect'.
