Twins Alice & Mike Murty, Prestwich Manchester. Father Peter Murty

 

Court Case in York; Keith Murty EXONERATED in 2013.

 

So, in 2012 on the advice of my solicitor I pleaded guilty to supplying Class A drugs to my friend the late Ruth Laura Lewis. I wasn't supplying her with Class A drugs, I was returning her drugs to her as she left them in my car! Is that suppling ???

​

Laura was a lovely young lady with a number of problems. What she needed was help and understanding not harassment from a variety of sources; some of whom should be ashamed of themselves and some of whom were driven purely by greed and sensationalism. Having asked the Police and NHS many times over the years for help with Laura’s addiction problems and got nowhere, I was struggling to find a way forward with Laura. On one occasion the police asked me if I knew how many young females kill themselves a year and would I stop pestering them. They will not help and they will make sure no else does either!

​

Laura had a number of major problems that she continuously wrestled with – mental health issues, addictions and boy friends.

I had taken Laura to Detox5 in Harrogate;

I had taken her to see her GP numerous times;

I had taken her to the mental health teams;

I had taken her to a private therapist in Leeds;

I had taken her to a consultant neurologist;

I had taken her to York Infirmary many times.

I had taken her to Bootham hospital;

I had taken her to Lifeline in York many times but they seem to be as thoroughly dishonest as it is possible to be for an organization supposedly helping drug addicts. I even went to see the North Yorkshire POLICE COMMISIONER to complain about Lifeline (no wonder they lost the contract) and to discuss other matters associated with this situation.

 

In April 2013 Laura asked me to go to Turkey and then to Cyprus as she was in CRISIS and needed help with baby son Alfie. Later on in October 2013 she asked me to go to London to collect her as she was again in CRISIS, this time because of Paul (Pavlos) Maneros.

​

I had paid for Laura to go to Detox5 in Harrogate in 2010; I offered her another detox session in 2011 and I offered her a naltrexone implant also in 2011.

 

I had followed my solicitors advice the first time I was in York Court and the result was my pleading guilty to 1 instance of supplying Class A drugs to Laura. I was not happy with the Court proceedings but never had the opportunity to speak. However when I was taken back to Court in August 2013 I was well prepared and presented the court with a 10 page dossier explaining my actions in detail; my actions in Turkey and in Cyprus; the actions of the police; the actions of Laura and also those of several third parties.

 

I also pointed out that had I not rescued them from a BLAZING INFERNO Laura and her son Alfie would have died in a fire in Limassol Cyprus in July 2013 that completely gutted her apartment.

 

And finally I pointed out:

Were it not for me Alfie (6 months) would never have got his UK passport.

Were it not for me Laura and Alfie would not have escaped from Turkey.

Were it not for me Laura and Alfie would not have got to Cyprus and safety.

Were it not for me Laura and Alfie would have DIED in Cyprus.

Were it not for me Laura would not have escaped from Paul Maneros and London.

​

As a result in Court the CPS offered no evidence and indeed had nothing to say at all. The Court Judge accepted the explanation for my actions concerning Laura in its entirety, and revoked the punishments. Basically the Court agreed with me!

​

It may come as a surprise to the police but they are supposed to protect human life and not be the cause of the death of people. Why should I be at odds with the police when my intention is to save human life ? Take the case of Toni Speck who died in police custody at Fulford Police Station, York in June 2012 as an example of how the police were involved in the death of another vulnerable young female. Also the complete lack of understanding and compassion as far as Laura was concerned is quite startling and totally disgraceful.

​

The opinion of the Durham Chief Constable Mike Durham is particularly relevant to this case where his opinion that drug addiction should be decriminalized and drug addicts should be "treated and cared for not criminalized” is entirely appropriate.

​

The police profess to have “Zero Tolerance” for drug dealers yet there are dealers operating in York (and I expect in many other places) who have not been bothered by the police despite distributing class A drugs. The latest development in this case is that Paul (Pavlos) Maneros of Enfield London, 1 of the 2 men linked with Laura and her death, has been caught red handed by 2 armed police officers in the act of criminal damage and theft and has been arrested and taken to Fulford police station.

​

So Keith Murty has saved Laura's Life and that of her son Alfie; he has also had his sentence REVOKED by York Court Magistrates. Maneros has pleaded guilty to the charge of Criminal Damage. Karma is a word that I have heard Maneros use and he is quite right in his belief as it is working for him exactly as it should. Once again justice has been brought to the misguided men who plague our streets. He stole every item that Laura possessed even the album of Laura and Alfie that we had taken in Turkey.​
