Innocence Fraud Promoter & Groomer Michael Naughton, Russ Spring & Psychopathic Killer Warren Slaney
Gary Thompson (32) and John Weston (29) were shot and killed on the 10th of October 1990 in the front garden of the house Gary Thompson lived in with his wife and children in Oadby, Leicestershire.
Gary Thompson ran a successful hot dog and burger van fast food business and his friend John Weston worked alongside him.
Psychopath Warren Slaney and Terence Burke stole up to £60,000 of bank holidays takings from Gary Thompson’s Bentley motor vehicle after shooting dead Gary Thompson and John Weston.
Innocence fraud killer Warren Slaney’s co-defendant Terence Burke attempted to pretend that victim Gary Thompson “was in on the raid” as part of an insurance scam.
However it was established Gary Thompson was uninsured.
In 2000 killer Warren Slaney made allegations here that staff at Woodhill prison had “attacked” him “at least six times” and in 2011 Private Eye magazine published an article headed The Hot Dog Hit in which it stated;
Slaney’s case has now been taken up by the University of Bristol Innocence Project where law students investigate claims of injustice

Another article on psychopathic innocence fraud killer Warren Slaney stated;
The campaign has the support of Dr Michael Naughton of The Innocence Project based at Bristol University who showed that miscarriages of justice were costing the public purse as much as £200m a year in 2002.

Someone called Russ Spring was also involved in the innocence fraud public relations spin campaign and was referred to in 2005 here as a “campaign support worker for the Miscarriages of Justice Organisation”.
Russ Spring from Mojo said: “We feel that the scale of the inquiry that is needed into his conviction really is beyond the scope of the Criminal Case Review Commission and they need to appoint an independent outside investigators.

The Surjit Singh Clair Effect
Referring to just after killer Barry George was released from custody in 2008 following his retrial, his uncle Mike Burke stated;
It was now open season on Barry and the press set about destroying any hope of him settling into any kind of normal life in his home city of London.
I watched dispassionately as his reputation, such as it was, nosedived over the last days of 2008 under a welter of tabloid fantasy.
They ran stories on what he ate, what bookshops he visited, his temporary accommodation.
They claimed incorrectly that he was stalking a nurse, that Sky’s Kay Burley was frightened sick by him, that he was interested in Cheryl Cole of X Factor, that he was involved with the partner of a convicted killer etc.
To make things even better a ‘spokesman’ for him allegedly confirmed some of those manufactured stories.
Pat Reynolds said to me one day: ‘with friends like those who needs enemies?’
Excerpts from Mike Burke’s book Mike’s Story: The Battle to Clear Barry George of the Murder of Jill Dando first published in June 2011
The “spokesman” Mike Burke referred to was Surjit Singh Clair.
Read more on Surjit Singh Clair here, here and here.
Michelle Diskin Bates chose to omit to tell the readers of her book the fact that Surjit Singh Clair was a convicted fraudster who attempted “to obtain property by deception by selling the story of the bogus attack to a national newspaper”.
False Phone Monitoring Allegations & Pam Wright
Referring to Surjit Singh Clair and some of the various news stories regarding her psychopathic killer brother, Michelle Diskin Bates stated;
It was arranged that Barry would travel from London to Birmingham, where he would be met by volunteers from MOJO.
They would take him to a secret location and keep him safe.
In two days, he and a volunteer, Russ, would meet me in Leeds.
When Russ returned to his family, Surj would take over, taking Barry along to a meeting he was having at another hotel.
We really hoped that all of these precautions would mean Barry would not appear in any more disgraceful headlines, but no.
They were being followed everywhere, even camping outside of Russ’ home looking for Barry, though they were not there.
Russ’ wife and family felt intimidated by the media’s presence.
The only way they could have known about Russ was if our phones were being monitored.
Of course, this was all before the Leveson Inquiry and the News of the World’s well-earned downfall. Story upon story was published.
There was one story that alleged Barry had terrified a nurse in the hospital carpark, and that he was in an agitated state demanding drugs at the hospital.
The truth was that he was with Russ and they had gone to A&E to replace Barry’s epilepsy meds, as he’d had to abandon his supply at the flat when the police came.
Another story alleged that he was now obsessed with Cheryl Cole as well as Kay Burley, and that he was dating a convict’s wife, the person Surj went to a business meeting with!
Statements by Michelle Diskin Bates from her book Stand Against Injustice published in October 2018
Surjit Singh Clair accompanied Pam Wight, who had been groomed, conned and exploited by serial killer Steve Wight, during her February 2008 Sky news interview with Kay Burley.
It was during this interview where Kay Burley asked Pam Wright;
Do you think if you’d had a better sex life, he wouldn’t have done this?
Kay Burley – February 2008
A December 2008 media article stated of killer Barry George;
He is also reportedly besotted with Pam Wright, the fiancée of Suffolk Strangler Steve Wright.

As referred to in Part 18 of this blog series here, Surjit Singh Clair had stated to David Jones of the DailyMail;
I can tell you there is somebody new, though.
I think there have been three or four meetings

Was the woman Surjit Singh Clair referred to Pam Wright?
During a 2021 channel 5 TV show Pam Wright stated, after realising Steve Wright was a psychopathic serial killer;
He was just a nice, quiet, kind guy
I just, no, no way, I couldn’t believe it.
He wasn’t a violent person
This is my life sentence, I’ll never know the truth… I do honestly think there’s a lot more to the story.
I just didn’t want to wake up, I drank ridiculously and I was on anti-depressants.
Anything just to go to sleep and not think about it
