    This is NOT a true story at all. The author follows myths, fiction and lies. The authors claim that this is a true story is a lie.

      @@duhkhun2795 Absolutely NOT. The author has followed fiction written by Ian Jones, a discredited author who made up copious lies, myths and untruths regarding a very serious criminal.
      Professional historians are scathing of his fictitious rubbish.
