My brother's 'killer' is innocent... the REAL murderer is still free: Family of man stabbed to death call for release of millionaire gambler after key evidence revealed
Share:
Millionaire playboy Jason Moore has spent more than a decade behind bars for the murder of Robert Darby, an East End petty criminal who was senselessly stabbed to death nearly 20 years ago. The cold-blooded murder outside the Valentine pub in Gants Hill, east London, in August 2005 shattered the lives of two families who both feel that justice has never been served.

Professional gambler Jason has always denied murdering the 42-year-old and maintains he was in a parked car near the pub, but never left the vehicle. Since being sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 18 years on December 23 2013, his heartbroken family have long campaigned for him to be freed from jail.

But in an extraordinary twist, the victim's family have also joined the fight to have Jason's conviction overturned - as they believe the real killer is still out on the streets. In a letter to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Robert's older brother, Tim Darby, says today: 'My brother, Robert, would never have wanted this - an innocent man suffering in his name.

'Jason Moore's wrongful imprisonment dishonours Robert's memory and mocks the justice system. This is not a simple mistake - it is a disgrace. Justice has failed at every level.'. Tim has shared his emotional letter to the PM, the Justice Secretary, the Criminal Cases Review Commission and the Courts of Appeal, with MailOnline as he continues his fight to get Jason freed and have the real killer locked up in his place.
