Leslie Bailey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leslie Bailey (died October 1993), was a paedophile and murderer who was involved along with Sidney Cooke and others in the murders and sexual abuse of at least three young boys in and around London in the 1980s.
He was sent to trial, along with Cooke and one other paedophile, for the 1984 murder of seven year old Mark Tildesley. He was already in prison for the 1985 killing of Jason Swift but was also jailed for Mark's murder in 1992. He seemed to be the only one of the gang who would admit to his crimes. He was killed in October 1993 after being attacked in his prison cell by two other prisoners.
Bailey was known as Catweazle, a nickname associated with the fictional cartoon character.
