London - Derek Bentley's co-accused, Mr Christopher Craig, will not be called to give new evidence to three Court of Appeal judges who are being urged to quash the hanged teenager's murder conviction, it emerged yesterday. It was Mr Craig, then aged 16, who shot PC Sidney Miles during a break-in at a Croydon confectionery warehouse in 1952. He was too young to hang, and after their trial was detained at her majesty's pleasure he served 10 years in jail.
Bentley, a 19-year-old with a mental age of 11 who played no physical part in the murder, was sentenced to death and executed at Wandsworth Prison in January 1953.
