Killer Simon Hall: Bristol University’s Michael Naughton Aka Empowering The Innocent, Facilitating & “Empowering” Psychopathic Murderers, Self Serving Lies, Innocence Fraud & Secret Murder Confession(s) – Part 19i ©️

Most of the media stories which reported on killer Simon Hall’s “confession” to his murder of Joan Albert were extremely poor, speculative, misleading and in many instances completely false.

For example in one media article, under the header Killer Simon Hall admits guilt – but he didn’t confess to authorities first, excerpts read;

Killer Simon Hall only confessed to prison authorities after first admitting his crime to someone else – believing his dark secret would never come out.

The details emerged after The Star yesterday revealed the 35-year-old had confessed to the December 2001 murder in Capel St Mary.

The Star understands Hall had secretly confessed killing Mrs Albert to a third party.

But that information came to the attention of the prison authorities and Hall then formally admitted committing the murder.

By Lauren Everitt for the Evening Star/East Anglian Daily Times article(s) headed Killer Simon Hall admits guilt – but he didn’t confess to authorities first dated the 9th of August 2013

It is not known why Lauren Everitt wrote and published that killer Simon “Hall had secretly confessed”.

Simon Hall’s “confession” to his murder of Joan Albert was never made in “secret” to anyone – at least not whilst he was in prison.

Self Serving Lies

However evidence does suggest killer Simon Hall’s “dark secret” was known by his immediate family members from the very beginning.

Shaun Hall, Simon Hall’s older brother, stated on a public Internet forum in early 2013;

Simon had every chance to confess to his actions on the night of Joan’s death, however he decided to keep this quiet.

Saying that anyone else should go to the police is ridiculous as they wouldn’t want Simon to get in to further trouble

Shaun Hall

Killer Simon Hall’s adoptive mother Lynne Hall told numerous self serving lies from the very beginning of the police investigation.

Lynne Hall continued to lie over the years that followed Simon Hall’s conviction for his murder during the Hall family’s (Lynne, Phil and Shaun) and Stephanie Bon’s fraudulent public relations spin campaign.

It was therefore no surprise when Lynne Hall chose to tell a reporter more self serving lies once the innocence fraud was exposed.

On the 8th of August 2013, under the header Simon Hall’s mother’s shock at his murder confession. Excerpts read;

Mrs Hall said:

“I’m absolutely shocked because I know he is innocent and I still believe he is

“But it’s the system. If he had pleaded guilty in the beginning, he would be home now

“I know he has been really low and in hospital recently. He’s given up

Hall’s parents Lynne and Phil Hall and his brother Shaun supported him through numerous appeals which were unsuccessful.

Mrs Hall added: “I believe he feels he can’t take any more after all the fight he has put up and how brave he has been

“If that’s his decision, that’s his decision but I will never believe that

Excerpts by Lauren Everitt for the Evening Star/East Anglian Daily Times article headed Simon Hall’s mother’s shock at his murder confession dated the 8th of August 2013

Lynne Hall’s self serving statements of I’m absolutely shocked because I know he is innocent and I still believe he is and I believe he feels he can’t take any more after all the fight he has put up and how brave he has been were only ever made by Lynne Hall in an attempt to save face.

The Evidence Tells A Different Story

Killer Simon Hall received a 13 year life sentence tariff for his murder of Joan Albert (minus time spent on remand) and he had also been moved to a D-Category prison at the end of 2012, earlier than many life sentenced prisoners, in part because the C-Category prison he was moving from was due to close.

Therefore Lynne Hall’s statement “But it’s the system. If he had pleaded guilty in the beginning, he would be home now” was, and is, nonsense.

13 years for a sexually motivated murder was a low tariff and had Simon Hall pleaded guilty for his murderous crime(s) it’s likely his life sentence tariff would have been considerably higher than the tariff he ended up being ordered to serve.

Simon Hall was in hospital in February 2013 following a suicide attempt because his factual guilt to his murder was being exposed – in the main by his older brother Shaun Hall.

As already referred to in Part 11a here Shaun Hall wrote to his brother Simon after he learned he had been in hospital and stated;

I have just found out about the events in February which led to you being in Ipswich hospital

I really want to put all the past behind us and move forward for your sake

Sometimes I only see the Simon that everyone else believes is you but I know that is not the real you. You are a the (sic) selfish person deep down, you have been a victim from day one where you are and that your situation led you to act in a way out of character

It’s a disgusting situation and should never have happened and I hold my hand up as I have before and admit I am to blame for our situation but I’m sure in the right light both of us would hold our hands up and admit we both have let anger or hurt motivate our actions

Excerpts from Shaun Hall’s letter to his brother Simon Hall dated the 7th June 2013

Shaun Hall has never confirmed whether or not his statements to his brother Simon about putting the past behind us and, ‘I hold my hand up as I have before and admit I am to blame for our situation’, were anything to do with the allegations of abuse Simon Hall made to Suffolk police against Shaun just prior to Simon admitting to his murder of Joan Albert.
