Fifteen documented crimes. Four connected regions. One northern belt where violence repeatedly crossed the boundaries drawn on the map.From the residential streets of Manchester and Liverpool to the commuter towns of Warrington, Rochdale, Wakefield and West Yorkshire, Northern Belt examines murders, disappearances, wrongful convictions, terrorist violence and institutional failures from across northern England. The cases include the murders of Brianna Ghey, Olivia Pratt-Korbel, Shafilea Ahmed, Clare Wood, Anthony Walker and Garry Newlove; the disappearance of Helen McCourt; the Warrington bombing; the wrongful convictions of Stefan Kiszko and Anthony Steel; and the fatal police shooting of Anthony Grainger. Together, they reveal how ordinary journeys, private homes and administrative borders shaped investigations without ever causing the violence itself. Inside this book:
- Fifteen real cases from Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire and West Yorkshire
- Solved and unsolved murders, cold cases and disappearances
- Wrongful convictions and later forensic breakthroughs
- Domestic homicides, institutional failures and public inquiries
- Evidence drawn from court judgments, inquests, official reports and contemporary journalism
Written with restraint and respect for the victims, Northern Belt avoids speculation and sensationalism. It focuses instead on evidence, responsibility and the lives that existed before each case became a headline. For readers interested in British true crime, UK cold cases, criminal investigations, wrongful convictions and the history of justice in northern England.
