In 1992, Suzanne Capper, a 16-year-old girl from Manchester, was kidnapped, tortured over seven days, and set on fire by a group of individuals including Glyn Powell, his estranged wife Jean Powell, and Bernadette McNeilly. Despite surviving long enough to identify her attackers, Suzanne died from her injuries. All involved were sentenced to life in prison, though most have since been released. Glyn Powell, the last of the perpetrators to be freed in 2023, passed away from cancer earlier this year. Suzanne’s brother, Stephen Capper, has spent decades advocating for justice, expressing deep trauma from witnessing his sister’s condition in the hospital and continuing to seek accountability for those still alive. He describes the attackers as 'evil' and vows to fight until they die or reoffend.
