Memories & campaign for Lee!
'Safe-LEE'
Going round in circles 'miracles' do they happen? going away, wish I could stay, I pray I may...??!
Excerpt from a poem by Lee…
If you would be a real
seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.

"The disbelief of losing my son will always be there, as I have never been told anything realistic.
"I am expected to believe that my son took his own life, In a young offenders institute.. between 8.20-8.40pm in a shared cell...!???
I feel Lee recieved 'the death penalty'...!
His crime...
stealing three bottles of shampoo!
"To say I was unhappy and disappointed by the police investigation is an understatement.
"I made a formal complaint against the police. Which the police considered to be unsubstantiated. I made 14 allegations,
of which they upheld only 2!
I later appealed to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) who upheld my complaint.
"The inquest took place on 15th January 2007. It was listed for five days but lasted just four days "The jury verdict was given under direction by the coroner; the short form would be 'accident'! "

To the friends and family of Lee....my condolences, to you all. I know the pain and grief you are living with, only too well, as my son also was found hanging in his cell in Brixton after only being in there for approx 18 hours. My heart goes out to you all. Maybe we can meet at the Rememberance Procession Oct 25th Trafalagar Square? Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers, Gina Webb, Wesley McGoldricks mother.
im so sorry to hear about lee, he had so much to live for. my family and i are awaiting a date for the inquest of my brother lee who has taken his own life in 2006 in bristol prison. from lee dewhurst's family
So sorry to read of your loss.
I pray that you will find comfort in the love of his children, and hopefully some form of justice from the system that broke him down.
One Love,
Bernie & Family
Wishing your family some justice in 2008! Be strong....

What kind of penal system is this that waste's such young lives needlessly.
We wish you all the best in your fight for reform.

Time wasnt kind to us as we only had a few weeks together. You left me wanting more of your friendship, Thankyou for the time we had and for bringing Lee to meet me. I will cherish that day forever. You will always feel my love as we keep those we love close forever. xxx
hi sal i just wanted to say that you are one of those people that i really look up to and admire i hope all your dreams and wishes become a reality so that more people will have the oppotunity to meet and learn from you. You are such a strong person and life never seems to be kind so hang in there and make a difference.(i know you will!!!)
Shame on the prison and system in general for the pressure this poor lad was put under. There are those that care.
What a truly sad story... and such a lovely, lovely boy.
I feel it for you as a mom myself.
God bless you and hold on to his love - that never dies.
Shame on the system that took your son Lee!

Hi Sally-Anne and family.
I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been assisting you to get this website established.
In doing this work we have become so familiar with Lee's tragic case and loss. And just wish you success with the project that you are establishing in his name.
Best wishes,
Tippa & the 4WardEver crew.
