}}Peter Moore (born 1940)[1] is a British serial killer who managed cinemas in Bagillt, Kinmel Bay and Denbigh in North Wales at the time of his arrest.[2] He murdered four men in 1995. Due to his attire, he was dubbed the "man in black".[3]

Crimes

Between September and December 1995, he stabbed to death and mutilated four men "for fun". He was sentenced to life imprisonment in November 1996 with a recommendation that he never be released.[2] He also committed 39 sex attacks on men in North Wales and the Merseyside area over a 20-year period.

Victims

  • Henry Roberts, a 56-year-old man who lived in Anglesey; stabbed to death in September 1995
  • Edward Carthy, a 28-year-old man whom Moore met in a gay bar; stabbed to death in Clocaenog Forest in October 1995 [2]
  • Keith Randles, a 49-year-old traffic manager; stabbed to death in November 1995 on the A5 road in Anglesey
  • Anthony Davies, 40; stabbed to death in Pensarn Beach, Abergele in December 1995

Trial

During his trial, Moore told the jury the crimes were committed by a fictitious homosexual lover he nicknamed Jason after the killer in the Friday the 13th horror films. The jury found him guilty on all counts.[4]

Imprisonment

During his time in Wakefield Prison Moore befriended Harold Shipman, the serial killer and former GP who hanged himself in January 2004.[5]

In June 2008, Moore was told by the High Court that he would spend the rest of his life in prison.[2] On 3 March 2011, Moore challenged the ruling in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), with a view to having his sentence quashed and such sentences outlawed throughout Europe.[6] On 17 January 2012, it was announced that his appeal had failed.[7] However, on 9 July 2013, it was announced the ECHR had ruled there had to be both a possibility of release and review to be compatible with human rights.[8]

In February 2015, the ECHR upheld the lawfulness of whole life orders, on the ground that they can be reviewed in exceptional circumstances, following a fresh challenge by murderer Arthur Hutchinson, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment for a triple murder in Sheffield more than 30 years earlier. Another legal challenge to the court by Hutchinson was rejected in January 2017. A fresh challenge by another "whole life" prisoner, Jamie Reynolds, who murdered a teenage girl in Shropshire in 2013 - is now reportedly pending with the ECHR. By this stage, there were believed to be more than 70 prisoners in England and Wales serving whole life sentences.[9]

Other

On 13 October 2011, it was falsely reported that Moore had died at Broadmoor hospital on 30 July 2011.[3]

Moore contacted police while in prison with a claim that he knew the identity of Clocaenog Forest Man, which was subsequently discounted due to conflicting dates.
