THE truth of the saying that a murder has many victims was plain to see this week as the children of convicted wife-killer Gordon Park spoke out for the first time, reports Jennie Dennett.

Jeremy Park and his sister Rachael Garcia remain convinced someone else was responsible for bludgeoning their mother to death in 1976 and dumping her body in Coniston Water.

Theirs is a double tragedy, as they have to live with the grisly murder of their mother and the subsequent jailing of their father for the crime in January this year.

Jeremy, who was six when his mother disappeared, has spent the last nine months putting together the website www.freegordon.com, based on the copious notes he made while sitting in the public gallery during his father's eight-week trial.

It will soon detail all the twists and turns of the so-called Lady in the Lake case and, he hopes, convince readers that his father his innocent.

A spokesman for Cumbria police declined to comment in advance of a possible appeal.
