Brothers Convicted After 40-Year Cold Case
Description
After 40 years, justice finally arrives as two brothers, Michael and Anthony Stewart, are convicted for the 1984 murder of Anthony Litter, found dead near East Finchley tube station. The breakthrough came from their younger sibling, then just ten, who overheard the brothers confess to robbing and killing someone. Investigators used old transport records to map the victim’s movements and matched a 999 call from a young voice with a 2015 witness statement where Michael allegedly admitted to the killing. Evidence showed the brothers had a pattern of targeting lone men, and Anthony lied about his alibi—later proven false by family members. After years of painstaking work, prosecutors charged them in 2025, leading to conviction. The detective leading the case praised the courage of witnesses and reaffirmed that no matter how long it takes, police will pursue truth and justice for victims.
