About this deal

Although Colin made no admissions of guilt in Rachel’s case, Prof Britton went on to tell officers Colin’s conversations with Lizzie left him satisfied that he must be the killer. If this is a benchmark for the quality of evidence in Sir Paul Condon's anti-corruption campaign, my sympathy goes out to other officers who may find themselves in a similar situation. The decision ended an 18-month ordeal for Mr Pedder, and is a serious embarrassment to the Metropolitan police, its commissioner, Sir Paul Condon, and to his high profile anti-corruption crusade run by the secretive Complaints Investigation Bureau (CIB), dubbed the Untouchables.

A spokeswoman said: "The decision to prosecute Mr Pedder rested with the CPS and the attorney general. I knew I wanted to work with him and I’d enjoyed working with [director] Niall MacCormick about ten years ago, To be on the other side of the police interview table for once was also a thrilling prospect!

The only trouble was that Pedder and Wickerson forgot to mention this alleged fact in their police statements, depositions and Committal Hearing testimony!

Mr Pedder told the Guardian he was reluctant to turn on the force he respected and the commissioner who had signed his exemplary service retirement certificate in 1995. We were fearful to begin with, but the whole team environment was wonderful after half a year of wondering if it would ever come back. And the professor, said to be the inspiration for Robbie Coltrane’s criminal psychologist in 1990s ITV drama Cracker, helped to devise the plan, codenamed Operation Edzell.

It was clear from talking to Dave Nath and Pete Beard [exec producers] that this was looking at police tactics, the world of the ’90s and the way women were essentially used in certain professions – it was coming from an honourable place, which was really important. It reveals information that has hitherto been withheld, and spectacularly prints letters from the police involved in the operation to the chief suspect that will astonish the reader and bring the details of this terrible case right back into the public eye. This book is written by one of the detectives involved in the miscarriage of justice that resulted in the arrest of Colin Stag for the murder of Rachel Nickel.It is also worth remembering that not only was Stagg innocent, the actual killer went on to commit another two murders and countless sexual assaults. At one point, Pedder claims that he and his superior - DCI Mick Wickerson - saw something that was highly incriminating to their suspect, Colin Stagg. Colin Stagg wants to bring a civil case against Professor Paul Britton – who he blames for ruining his life almost 30 years ago. Colin said: “Lizzie’s career and that of Keith Pedder both collapsed after the case, but Britton’s career seemed to carry on unaffected, despite his methods being shown to be flawed. The decision to bring in Paul Britton was initially taken by senior officers to deal with the inundation of information from the public and the absence of forensic clues.

The evidential spine of his book is the Met's secret report on the undercover aspects of Operation Edzell, which Mr Pedder photocopied and kept hidden away. Colin told the Sunday Mirror: “If I can find a solicitor to take the case, I would like to take him to court now.Prof Britton, played by Eddie Marsan in the show, was criticised by Mr Justice Ognall when he threw out the case against Colin. A commendable effort to offer some insight into the investigation of London's infamous Wimbledon Common murder. I was constantly bringing his book to set, trying to bring things in I felt would support his arc, and I relished that responsibility.
