Christopher Halliwell: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

Halliwell was once again charged with the murder of Becky Godden-Edwards on 31 March 2016. He pleaded not guilty, claiming he had confessed to the murder because he knew guidelines were being breached and wanted to ruin the officers career. He was convicted and received a whole-life order (the British equivalent of life without parole).

Since Halliwell's conviction, he has been accused of many more murders. Police found a store of 60 articles of women's clothing in his house after his arrest, but only two articles were ever identified, a cardigan worn by Becky Godden-Edwards and a high-heeled boot worn by Sian O'Callaghan. His former cellmate has also claimed that Halliwell asked him "How many people do you need to kill to be a serial killer?", and police believe it is significant that he was unable to remember when he killed Godden-Edwards, suggesting he had killed more than one person at the time of her murder. He has been named as a suspect in the 2009 disappearance of Claudia Lawrence, and is a person of interest in 26 other murders and disappearances, including the murders of women in Liverpool by the unidentified [[East Lancs Ripper]].

A phone call he made from prison during the investigation showed that Halliwell believed police to have linked him to eight murders.
