Justice for Siôn Jenkins - Main Page

On 2 July 1998 Siôn Jenkins was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his foster daughter Billie-Jo Jenkins.

There were always serious concerns about the verdict, and many unanswered questions about the conduct of the case.

In April 1999 this website was launched with the aim of reversing a serious miscarriage of justice. It is dedicated to a detailed analysis of his case

Its purpose is:

  • to stand as a record of one man's experience of the law.
  • to encourage those fighting injustice.
  • to warn of the need for vigilance, and testify to the importance of free speech .

    • On 9 February 2006, after two appeals and three trials Siôn Jenkins was acquitted of murder. He had spent six years in prison. He had always maintained his complete innocence.

    Billie would have been 25 this year.

    The tragedy of losing a child is that you expect yourself to leave this world before them. You anticipate growing old and seeing your children prosper and starting their own families. When this natural state of affairs is disrupted, you're left feeling cheated by life itself.

    Since I've been free I have been asked if I've now found peace and some kind of resolution. I will never feel resolution is possible while her killer walks free . People encourage me to think of 'moving on' and putting everything behind me, but my priorities centre on getting justice for Billie. My hope for this year is that that progress will be made.

    Since my acquittal I have been reading through every available piece of evidence. I have divided this into relevant sections and with help from other people, I am in the process of trying to re-create the jigsaw of events. I will not rest until Billie's killer is brought to justice.

    As I especially remember Billie , my thoughts are also with my daughters, Annie, Charlotte, Esther and Maya. These years have been a terrible burden on them. During my imprisonment, it was their existence which kept me strong and able to face each day.

    On 15 February I will again lift up my private prayers and give thanks for Billie. I have found comfort in this each year since 1997. I need to know who ended her life. So I work, read and investigate to this end.

    Billie will never be forgotten. I will never give up. That is my message to the person who took her life.

    Siôn Jenkins.
