In March 1972, four young black men were arrested by a specialist
pickpocket squad at Oval Underground Station and charged with theft
and assault of police officers. Sentenced to two years in prison,
the case seemed straightforward and credible to the judge and jury
who convicted them - but these young men were completely innocent,
victims of endemic police corruption. The real criminal in this
case was the notorious DS Derek Ridgewell, later proven to be
heavily involved in organised crime. Graham Satchwell, at one time
Britain's most senior railway detective, has worked with Oval Four
victim Winston Trew to reveal the rotten culture that not only
enabled Ridgewell to operate as he did, but also to subsequently
organise major thefts of property worth in excess of GBP1 million.
Winston Trew's case was finally overturned in December 2019, but
the far-reaching ramifications of Ridgewell's shocking activities
has irreparably damaged many lives and must never be forgotten.
