The lawyer who represented a Merseyside-born serial killer has said he doesn’t regret taking on the case - despite the mental impact it would have on him.
It was a few days shy of Christmas 1995 when Dylan Rhys Jones - a then young and ambitious lawyer - got the call asking him to represent Nazi-obsessed killer Peter Moore at a North Wales police station. Up until then, Mr Jones only knew of Moore as a local shopkeeper and cinema owner who had previously used his firm for the handling of his mum's estate following her death.
Little did Mr Jones, who had been working as a criminal lawyer for five years by then, know the case of St Helens-born Peter Moore would take over his life for the next 12 months and affect him mentally for years to come.
