Esmond Lewis was stabbed to death at his flat in Carey Gardens, Battersea on 8 February 1998.
A man was arrested for his murder but he tried to hang himself whilst in police custody when he was left alone for ten minutes. He was left disabled and unable to instruct his defence lawyers, and at the trial the judge told the jury that they had to determine whether he had killed Esmond Lewis but directed the jury to acquit him on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence.
