The death of Kelso Cochrane, 32, from Antigua, remains unsolved after he was fatally stabbed by a gang of white youths. Kelso’s family recently set up a petition demanding an apology from police for alleged failings in the investigation. Within three days of the murder, Pat Digby and “Shoggy” Breagan were held for questioning. The detective leading the murder inquiry was under investigation for leaking details to The Sunday Express before Kelso’s family learned of his death.
