NICK DAWSON: ‘For 16 years, I felt only hatred towards my twin brother's killer, but meeting him changed both our lives forever'
At a prison just outside Milton Keynes, in a silent chapel, in a small circle of chairs, Nick Dawson sat beside his wife and waited to meet the man who had tortured and murdered his identical twin, Simon. This man, along with one other, had kicked and beaten 30-year-old Simon until he was unconscious. They removed his watch, stole his bank card, revived him enough to learn his PIN, then threw him into a pond to drown. For 16 years, Nick had viewed these murderers, Craig Roberts and Carl Harrison, as sub-human – evil monsters. He had fantasised about torturing and killing them. Now he was going to talk calmly, face to face with Roberts, the apparent ringleader of the two, and Nick felt terrified. Was he being disloyal to his twin? 'Deep down, I knew it was the right thing to do,' he says. 'There was something driving me on.'
