M25 Three
The M25 Three were Raphael George Rowe, Michael George Davis, and Randolph Egbert Johnson, who were jailed for life at the Old Bailey in March 1990 after being found guilty of murder and robbery. The name was taken from the location of the crimes, which were committed around the M25, London's orbital motorway, during the early hours of 16 December 1988.〔(R v. Rowe Davis and Johnson ). Transcript of Case Nos: 99/2239/S3 , 99/2240/S3, 99/2241/S3. Royal Courts of Justice. 17 July 2000. Retrieved 11 August 2009.〕 The original trial took place between January and February 1990, resulting in all three being convicted of the murder of Peter Hurburgh, causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Timothy Napier and several robberies. Each was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder and given substantial sentences for the other offences. Davis also pleaded guilty to separate charges of robbery and Johnson to robbery and rape, offences committed during the commission of an earlier burglary several days before the murder.〔Shaw, Terence (18 July 2000). ("'M25 three' are freed as convictions quashed" ). ''The Daily Telegraph'' (London). Retrieved 11 August 2009.〕 For these crimes, Davis was sentenced to ten years and Johnson to twelve years. All sentences were concurrent.〔 Rowe also had previous convictions, including malicious wounding.〔Hopkins, Nick (22 July 2000). ("Raphael Rowe was freed as one of the M25 Three. But his fight for justice goes on" ). ''The Guardian'' (London). Retrieved 11 August 2009.〕
The convictions were overturned in July 2000. All three men have consistently maintained their innocence.
==The M25 crime spree==
At some time between 0150 and 0340 UTC an armed gang of three men wearing balaclavas and driving a stolen green Triumph Spitfire approached a car in Chelsham, Surrey in which Peter Hurburgh and Alan Eley were having sex. The gang dragged the two men from the car, tied them up and stripped and beat them.〔Pullinger, Kate. (The case of the M25 Three ). Innocent.org. Retrieved 11 August 2009.〕 Eley stated that one of the gang was armed with a knife, and another was holding a handgun.〔 The gang then poured petrol over the two men, and Eley lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness, Hurburgh was dead, having sustained five fractured ribs and a fractured sternum, which had bruised his heart leading to death from cardiac arrest.〔 The assailants abandoned the Triumph Spitfire at the scene and stole Hurburgh's car, an Austin Princess which they then drove around the M25 to Oxted, Surrey. Here, at around 0340 UTC, they broke into a home belonging to Richard Napier, then aged 66, who lived with his wife and 40-year-old son. The gang threatened the family with a knife and two handguns, one of which was described as a revolver. Timothy Napier sustained multiple knife wounds and Mrs Napier was instructed to remove her rings and jewellery. She was told that if she refused her fingers would be cut off. The house was ransacked and after 20–30 minutes, the robbers left, taking Timothy Napier's Toyota Corolla which had been parked near the house.〔 Peter Hurburgh's Austin Princess was found abandoned 100 yards from the Napier's house.〔
The gang then drove around the M25 to Fetcham, Surrey, where at 0500 UTC they broke into the house of Rosemary Spicer and her boyfriend Peter Almond, who were threatened with a handgun, tied up and gagged while the house was ransacked.〔 After between forty-five minutes and an hour the gang left in a Renault 5 and a Vauxhall Cavalier stolen from Spicer and Almond; Timothy Napier's Toyota was later found nearby.〔
