James Watson nearly got away with the murder of six-year-old Rikki Neave, a retired detective who led the re-investigation of the 1994 killing has revealed.
Paul Fullwood, a former head of the major crime unit for Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, said the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) initially told Watson, after his arrest in 2016, that no further action would be taken against him as they did not think there was enough evidence.
