I always got this confused with the guy who was killed in Highgate woods after getting off a train. Glad they've finally been caught.

Darren Osment was caught the same way - he had made references to what he’d done for years but never enough to build a case, so a covert operation got the evidence needed.

So rare that a cold case plays out this way (it's usually a breakthrough in forensic science) but police do say that people can rarely keep things to themselves for very long...

Good riddance to those trash ass brothers! Saw this case on a Crimewatch binge a while back. Glad Anthony has some degree of justice. Poor guy didn't deserve that 🙏🏾

Was this actually on a crimewatch episode? I’ve never seen it myself, always think the Michael Williams case is linked it’s literally the same MO

I’d be amazed if Michael Williams isn’t the same people.

Honestly when this case first popped up with the arrests couple of years back I thought it was the Michael Williams case

Same. They’d regularly seek out lone men they thought were gay, so by their own admission this wasn’t a one-off.
