Danielle's Mum, Lorraine Scott.

This is a case very near to my heart, Not only because i am a father to two Daughters but because i have relatives that know this Girls family and to my knowledge She has had no respite in her quest for Justice.
To put it in a nutshell, The Girl should never have been placed in this hellhole in Edinburgh.
She and her Family were crying out for Medical Help and the following was what happened, Raped then Murdered and to add insult to Injury the animal Responsible for her death was let Off with a very light Sentence.
Lorraine will always claim that her Daughter should never have been placed in this place where they were not equiped to deal with her condition, Please let her know your true opinions here and that people really care what is happening in our Society.

freethekillie2 ..

I think it might be more productive for us to put pressure on the new Justice Minister and the Crown Office for a reopening of this case - and at the same time, getting a campaign up to get the Crown Office overhauled & reformed from the monolith of incompetence & prejudice which it currently is...

Writing to pfs is generally a waste of time from what I've seen, principally because they know they can rely on the big wigs at the Crown Office to back them up on any decision they take - lack of accountability & transparency again, allows them to do as they want - end that and we will be getting somewhere.

Annie's case is very deserving of being reopened, and the sooner the better.

Friday 1 June 2007

Open letter to SNP Cabinet Secretary for JUSTICE, Kenny MacAskill MSP:

Dear Mr MacAskill,

Fatal Accident Inquiries / Crown Office decisions – Immediate reform urgently required

I’m certain you will have seen the Leader in Friday’s Edinburgh Evening News (“Relatives of the dead deserve a [MUCH] fairer system”, 1 June 2007) re the case of Craig Gowans (RIP) and his father’s justified frustration, hurt and anger at being unable to obtain a Fatal Accident Inquiry (FAI) into his son’s premature death at Falkirk Football Club.

John Gowans has every right to feel aggrieved at having no FAI to examine fully, independently and publicly the events leading up to his son’s untimely passing – as do SEVERAL other bereaved families who are also fighting to be properly heard by Scotland’s high-handed, dismissive, “protector of sacred cows” and largely indifferent Crown Office.

The Edinburgh Evening News editorial rightly points out the inequity in our greatly-flawed and discredited Scottish “justice” system where, all too frequently, the families of loved ones who have died in mysterious and suspicious circumstances have to fight (and fight, and fight… ), shout, scream, beg and plead time and again (and again, and again… ) to have their cases properly heard and fully scrutinised in front of a Sheriff – in an independent, impartial, open, transparent, fair, just and public hearing. This inequity has to stop … NOW.

As Scotland’s newly-appointed Cabinet Secretary for JUSTICE you have a great weight and responsibility on your shoulders now, and you carry the hopes of the many thousands of people who have, over the years of Ms Jamieson’s and Mr Wallace’s tenures, been miserably failed by their inaction in bringing about radical change and much-needed reforms to Scotland’s judicial system – lack of FAIs and Crown disclosure, to cite but two.

It should also be borne in mind that the responsibility you now carry is to the people of Scotland (especially those who have been miserably failed by its judicial system over many years) and not to your establishment friends and many chums at our Crown and Procurator Fiscals’ Offices – no sacred cows should ever be protected, as they have been under the previous Justice Ministers’ and Crown Office very dubious decision-making processes … too many “great and good” protected to instance here (though I will, if you ever want examples).

To show in the very early stages of your tenure that you are taking on board public concern re lack of FAIs and Crown disclosure (to cite, once again, but two areas of Scotland’s unfair and unjust “laws” that are urgently in need of radical reform), I would urge you to put pressure on your friends at the Crown Office to INITIATE IMMEDIATELY Fatal Accident Inquiries into the Craig Gowans case, PLUS these three other appalling and tragic cases that spring to mind:

1. 16-year-old Karen Dewar (RIP) who was brutally murdered in January 2005 next to her home at Tayport in Fife by an untreated / unsupervised (allowed to “slip through the net” … YET AGAIN), feral and very violent repeated sex-offender, 17-year-old Colyn Evans;

2. 17-year-old Danielle Scott (RIP) who was from Glasgow, but died horrifically in February 2005 at the hands of a well known methadone-peddling junkie (Peter Meaney) in his Sighthill flat in Edinburgh, whilst she was allegedly under the proper “care, support, supervision and protection” of Edinburgh City Council’s Social Work Department (within your own constituency at the time of her untimely death of course); and

3. 30-year-old Swedish girl, Annie Borjesson (RIP), who died in Prestwick in early December 2005 under very mysterious circumstances indeed (her mother, family, close friends and many Scots believe she was “murdered”) - again, she lived within your own constituency in Edinburgh when you were a Lothians list MSP.

If no action is taken on the above as I suggest, then you will indeed be “just another Cathy (Do Nothing / Protector of Sacred Cows) Jamieson” and will, I’m certain, be viewed with a similar loathing and contempt by the people of Scotland – who, may I remind you, have elected you to serve (with impartiality, integrity, probity, fairness and justness) as their new SNP Cabinet Secretary for JUSTICE.

I’m sure you won’t let us all down.

Yours faithfully,

The Concerned People of Scotland – seeking PROPER answers, the truth and justice

(Who you must now serve with absolute fairness and probity)

Hi Al

Great Letter mate, Could you please also post it to Salmond and onto the letters page.
An FAI should be A god Given right to anyone who has lost a loved one in unforeseen and Unexplained circumstances, Suppression of such right can only be seen as Tyranical which has no place in our modern society.
I hope that Mr MacAskill views your letter with an open mind.

Yes, and so do i Willie!

Letters pages will have copies by now.

Whether or not they print it, in full or even part, time (and courage ... and vested interests) will tell.

Best wishes,

Al

Addendum to letter of Friday 1 June 2007 (re 4 urgently required FAIs* and very dubious Crown Office decisions)

Friday 8 June 2007

Open letter to SNP Cabinet Secretary for JUSTICE, Kenny MacAskill MSP:

Dear Mr MacAskill,

Annie Borjesson, 1975 - 2005 (RIP) – Fatal Accident Inquiry urgently required

Following our Open Letter to you last Friday, this is another direct appeal to you re the above case which, as a Lothians list MSP for the area in which Annie lived at the time, you will be all too well aware of and, we feel, now have a moral obligation to act upon expeditiously and forcefully (with the new powers and resources at your disposal) for the Borjesson family.

We are certain that you and / or your staff will read this Forum on a daily basis and, therefore, will be up to speed on the many anomalies that surround the very mysterious circumstances which led to Annie’s premature death at Prestwick beach, on or around Sunday the 4th of December 2005. There are also many further anomalies subsequent to her body being discovered at or around 8.30am that Sunday morning. All these anomalies MUST be PROPERLY, INDEPENDENTLY and IMPARTIALLY INVESTIGATED by a Fatal Accident Inquiry as soon as possible.

Annie’s distraught mother (Guje) and family, close friends and we, the Concerned People of Scotland, all feel there are sufficient grounds for this case to be re-opened by the Crown Office and for a Fatal Accident Inquiry to convene to examine the many anomalies surrounding the very mysterious circumstances leading up to and after Annie’s untimely passing.

As our new Cabinet Secretary for JUSTICE, and a father of two yourself, we hope you will take on board our many concerns over the suspicious circumstances surrounding Annie’s passing, and its subsequent “investigation” by the local constabulary and PF’s Office in Kilmarnock, and now DEMAND that this very mysterious and tragic case be re-opened … IMMEDIATELY.

We trust you won’t let the people of Sweden and Scotland down.

Yours faithfully,

The Concerned People of Scotland – seeking PROPER answers, the truth and justice … for Annie Borjesson (RIP) and her devastated family and friends

(Who you must now serve with absolute fairness and probity)

*Craig Gowans, Karen Dewar, Danielle Scott and Annie Borjesson
