Jason Swift's story is absolutely heart breaking. Like so many other victims of this kind of thing, he lived a truly tragic life. The definitive book about the Sidney Cooke gang, 'Lambs to the Slaughter' discusses his life in some details. He'd come from a very chaotic family and had been in care before, perhaps the only happy time in his life. Sadly, he ended up on the streets looking for the love he never had. When he went missing, not one of his family went to look for him. Indeed, his mother didn't even pass on the postcard she'd received from him to the police. He'd previously been picked up in Soho and, tragically, at Heathrow Airport, just wandering round dreaming of escaping from his life. One of the most shocking things is what happened during the period he disappeared. Apart from being trafficked to Southend for a period, he spent most of that period living in Lennie Smith's flat - which was actually just a few metres from his sisters' flat. Lennie Smith was "pimping" him out at Victoria station and had pretty much convinced him that he was the only person who cared for him. It's also believed that a friend of Jason's was actually also in the flat when Jason was murdered, but that boy has never been traced. It makes you wonder what happened to him. Police investigations also traced men to Newcastle, Durham, Aberdeen and Wales, that they believed were also in the flat when the murders occurred. There was insufficient evidence to prosecute, although a small paedophile gang in Wales was busted as a result. As for Barry Lewis, he had a very similar start in life. Again, he came from a very chaotic family. His father had no contact, and his mother had a lot of problems, to the extent that she had actually given up caring for Barry during the week and a neighbour was looking after him. It's believed that Sidney Cooke abducted him, on his way back from working at a local fairground. It's all a really clear insight into what was going on in Britain back in the 20th century. It wasn't a golden era at all, despite what some people will try and tell you. Looking back, it was like very little had changed since Victorian times. Chaotic families, rampant poverty, child welfare virtually non existent, and a vice scene in our major cities that was often brazen. London in particular had serious problems with paedophiles and runaway kids around the various train stations and in Piccadilly Circus.

What I find disturbing is in one of the videos I watched of this horrible lot, lenny smith told someone - when he got out of prison he wanted to have a sex change to a woman to get closer to children (he was also a drag queen in his spare time) this was back in late 80s now in 2024 there is more talks of trans/ drag queens some of which are targeted at kids. Very disturbing world we live in.

remember when this was on the news in 1986 about his murder, i was only aged 12 then. 40 years later I still remember jason.

The murder of Jason Swift had a profound effect on UK society. Perhaps it was the reconstruction. I don't think any other crimewatch case included such a detailed portrayal of such a tragic figure. I remember my mother being particularly traumatised by it. You must remember that this was the period when Robert Black was still at large. Parents all over Britain were terrified for their children. The result was probably (and I'm not exaggerating) the largest reduction in childrens' freedom in history. The effect of these 1980s murders cannot be overestimated.

Great point - the 80s were really an appalling time in many ways. It's when child abuse and murder really started to make an imprint on the public perception. As someone said, it wasn't until the 1980s until the British public even started to like children. The UK had the highest rate of violent crime in Europe in the 80s and it showed. One of the cases that also always sticks in my mind was the murder of 15 year old Maartje Tamboeze by the Railway killers - they'd put a wire across a cycle path to make her dismount from her bike. That terrified me for years afterwards. Sadly, there are still so many child murder cases from that era that are still unsolved. Kevin Hicks, Vishal Mehrotra, Lee Boxell and Martin Allen who was abducted in broad daylight from a London tube station in November 1979 and never seen again.

Additionally, it must be remembered that Sydney Cooke was born in 1927. These offences were in his late 50s. Gabb, understandably was convinced that these were not the only murders. It's chilling but he probably started his offending in the 1940s.

@th8257

It's terrifying isn't it, and points towards how child abuse just wasn't on the radar at all until relatively recently. I think Cooke's earliest conviction was in the 1960s for molesting a boy in a cinema. He really is a link almost to the horrors of the Victorian age - he himself really is a product of the age he grew up in and he had been regularly sexually abused by his uncle. He fought in the war and had also been married. Places like Piccadilly Circus had been notorious since the 1800s for places to pick up 'rent boys'. It only really changed in the early noughties when it all went online instead. I'm sure Cooke knows an awful lot of things and it'll be interesting to see if anything comes out when he dies. He certainly knew a lot of people, and had been close friends with Ronald Jebsen, the 1970s 'Babes in the Wood' killer. There is a theory that the gang didn't start killing until Lennie Smith was involved. Cooke had previously used him as a rent boy but he had later joined the gang and Cooke had apparently grown to dislike him. Cooke even made an anonymous phone call to the police, tipping them off about Lennie Smith at the flat, no doubt wanting to be rid of him. Certainly though, he is a very, very nasty piece of work. Apparently he was mortified when Harold Shipman was brought into the same prison as him - he wanted to always be considered the worst one in there. He was supposedly jubilant when Shipman killed himself.

I was only 5 in 1985 but do remember this..especially Barry Lewis being in the paper . Really awful. Rip Barry And Jason 😢

In the months after Jason's death, a huge scandal broke out that care staff at multiple Islington homes were abusing children and Margaret Hodge didn't do anything to ensure the protection of those children on grounds that the reporting was"anti gay". A survivor of the Islington home abuse requested her files and Jason's files from the home, but they were destroyed purposefully. Jason also filed a complaint against a wealthy film editor, possibly Derek Jarman for sexually abusing him, but later suspiciously withdrew his complaint. All this information is from the spotlight on abuse, needle, and Cathy fox blogs.

I'm sure there's many more young teenagers buried somewhere. I think Cooke was charged with murdering another lad later on too. Rest in Peace Barry and Jason and Mark ❤

"I rather took to him really" Such a nice lad by the sounds of it, but a bit troubled and sadly met a terrible end. To think i only lived a few miles from him in Hastings at the time, when he was in that caravan. So glad we have DNA advances in technology now that seems to be a good deterrent

Mate, you need to get over this paranoid conspiracy theory bull shit that child abuse is only carried out by shadowy elites. If we've learned anything from these cases it's that child abuse happens at all levels of society. The Sidney Cooke gang who murdered Jason and Barry were overwhelmingly working class, living in abject poverty, had all had traumatic lives, and several of whom had pretty bad learning difficulties. We know that poor areas with chaotic families are the hotbeds of where child abuse happens. Just look at what happened recently in the black country where 21 people on a council estate were arrested, or why Blackpool is the sex offender capital of the UK

His bedwetting problem MAY suggest he was abused before he ran away. He went from the frying pan to the fire, so to speak.

You're bloody joking aren't you? If we know anything about the police back then is that they were corruption was absolutely rampant. Have you ever actually heard of the Daniel Morgan case?

I fear your comment is based on utterly fantastical hope and propaganda. There are pretty good grounds to say you, and the currently 5 souls who endorse your unfounded comment are unfortuntaly naive. If you examine the case files of Kincora you will find evidence of cover up. And in the north Wales care homes scandal, 300 former care children wrote statements alledging the abuse was orchestrated and far wider than the care home staff. Those abused are often further betrayed by the very system that originally failed them. The truth is far darker than the rose tinted view you project.

i actually know one police officers on this case he said it's nightmare that sticks in your brain even in 2023

Why we keep protecting these men by realising them into the community to victimised children

Jason took his monopoly set with him shows that he was still a young boy bloody tragic life😢

Ironic how technology now helps catch these monsters and also helps them in their depraved behaviour

This is so bizzare how blatantly he abducted that wee boy in broad daylight and in front of people > obviously it was his confidence that threw people off 😬

So awful , to think he could have been caught at petrol station or on the road and Barry could have been saved 😢

The thumbnail is effing terrifying. So sorry Barry & Jason.

Law is an arse.

Does that photofit not look like one of man who took Martin allen?

Stephen Barrell i lived not 50 yards from him and his family . real oddballs that lot

I don't understand why was this child missing for 6 months no one was concerned , why the mother wasn't concerned this is very annoying don't really understand why people that saw that the young boy was an conso😢😢😢😢very touching

School headmaster looks like Trevor MacDonald

Gruelling but compusive viewing.

What are the odds that Barry was playing out and walking home at the exact same time, in the exact area, the exact street as that creature Bailey?

In london in the 80s you used public toilets at your own risk. Freaky perverts were everywhere. Clapham common at night was a very strange place.full of dodgey MP's,doctors,soliciters and other apparently proffessional freaks.

Naturally the UK establishment dit not want this case to go further

WTF carrying about with a child WTF WTF!!!!???

I'll never understand how Cooke made it out of prison alive.

@@joshuaaaron125 I assume you're either not familiar with the case or being flippant. Cooke's sentence for the manslaughter of Swift was reduced to sixteen years on appeal in 1989, and he was paroled nine years later in April 1998.[19] He told an appeals court that Bailey was the ringleader of the gang.[20] Cooke's parole caused huge public outrage, which was exacerbated by a plan to move him to a hostel near two schools,[21][22] and the fact that Cooke himself admitted that he might re-offend if he was released. While in prison, Cooke refused to take part in any rehabilitation sessions.[23] Police refused to disclose the location to which he was to be moved,[24] smuggling him out of prison to avoid a vigil for his victims.[23] For the next nine months, Cooke lived in a suite of cells at Yeovil police station at his own request, rarely venturing out in public.[3]

Many male abusers claim to have been abused. It’s often not true. Also striking that female abuse victims rarely hurt anyone.
