HISTORICAL FACTS: Man so touched by miscarriage of justice he visits stranger s grave every week | History Defined

A man has explained the sad reason he has spent years caring for the grave of people he never met, who died after the 'worst ever miscarriage of justice'. Peter Ross's only connection with the man, and his mum is living in the same town - and being deeply touched by their story.

Peter said: "Every week, I go to the graveyard and all the staff at the cemetery know me. In my heart, I feel the terrible, unbelievable ordeal of Stefan being called abusive names, being cut up and beaten… that’s why I have to keep going to his grave as I do."

As well as keeping the grave clean and tended on weekly visits, Peter has helped surround it with Christmas trees - maintaining a tradition started by Stefan's mum.
