STILL reeling in shock and disbelief at his murder conviction, Simon Hall's family and many friends today united and pledged to clear his name.

Hall's devastated mother Lynne today broke her silence to speak to The Evening Star for the sake of her son.

Mrs Hall, 54, said: "The support has been wonderful and I now know what a lovely place Capel really is.
