A woman, identified only as Alys, has spoken for the first time about what she believes she witnessed nearly 40 years ago, related to the disappearance of schoolboy Lee Boxhall.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Crime Desk, Alys described seeing a blood-soaked mattress and smelling what she believed to be rotting flesh inside a church youth club on the outskirts of south London. She believes these events are connected to Lee Boxhall's 1986 disappearance.
Alys has identified a local father-of-eight, nicknamed the 'warlock paedophile,' as the individual she suspects is responsible for Lee's death. The details of her account have reportedly haunted her for four decades.
