Shot At 14 During Father's Murder: Leigh Alliss

In the summer of 1990 Tony Alliss was shot and killed on his land, in a case that was supposedly self-defence, despite an unlicensed shotgun being used on an unarmed man.
20 minutes later Leigh Alliss, Tony's son, was shot in what the defendants claimed was an accidental discharge, even though the shotgun in question was still warm from his father's killing, would need to have been reloaded, and the position of the gun would have made hitting Leigh all but impossible.
Regardless of such glaring discrepancies, the case was overturned, and a subsequent civil trial ended the same way, with the details of the crime never being put in front of a jury.
Leigh tells the story of that fateful day, where his life went from there, and his continued efforts to seek justice for what he believes is a cover up.
He also played his father in a short film about the shooting called Cowardice - A True Story, which is available to watch on KZbin. Link below.

Tony was a man I looked up to in my village, the man who drove around in a Land Rover and always put his hand up to me, even had the time for a chat and some strong words of advice, a man you hoped you could be one day, probably the nicest guy I’ve ever known and Leigh who is about to become my nephew in marriage I believe you and Lisa will make your dad so proud so mate whatever the outcome just remember your dad will only want what’s best for you, looking forward to your big day mate x

[@elizabethcalder5617]

My heart goes out to him, he’s still hurting so much. Another gripping episode thanks Liam.

[@Louslight]

Leigh you are so brave telling this story, absolutely heartbreaking. I pray you finally get justice for your dad and for you 🙏

[@WillSykes24]

Gripping interview, I watched it twice. How has this story not been more widely spread. Poor man needs justice

[@rayfarthing5121]

I seen the impact the shooting left on Leigh and his family and his poor mother. Through his teens and his adult life that man has fought all his life to get justice

[@garyburtenshaw8434]

Wow, Powerful, emotional podcast. Heart goes out to this man and his family and hope justice shines through. The strength it must take to ‘do it the right way’ keep fighting my man.

[@JamesAlliss]

It brought tears to my eyes multiple times brother.

[@Ms.Shortcake2008]

🫂 I don’t have the words. There isn’t anything I could say that would bring you much comfort, losing a parent is hard… this is something else. The emotion from you still feels so raw, I hope you heal and find some peace.

[@Krimpers]

Wow! Great podcast hope he gets justice, unbelievable that these murderers have gotten away with this! Stay strong Leigh

[@martint.1538]

Leigh , absolutely heartbreaking story. This case needs to be re-opened. I pray for justice , for you and your family. May your Father RIP , I am sure he is looking down a proud man x

[@Rt-uq2ze]

Can see this man is still hurting. Hope he finds peace.

[@rayfarthing5121]

He’s never gotten over this

[@jimtheyid]

The restraint Leigh is showing is admirable. But I'm not sure it will last forever

[@markdemmery5411]

I worked with Leigh over a few years. When ever he mentioned his dad he was passionate but measured, all he wants is justice for his Dad. He was a great mate to work with and I hope he gets the justice he deserves. Cheers velvet!

[@laurasmith1688]

Horrific miscarriage of justice. Totally heartbreaking. Love to Leigh and his family

[@Louslight]

So true “evil will carry on if good people stand around and do nothing”

[@TelfordTigerr]

Another good interview, Liam. Fascinating story. It never ceases to amaze me how corrupt the U.K. legal system can be.

[@davidhopkins848]

Wow, this podcast really got me thinking how i would react to this situation.big respect to leigh what a strong man

[@justonsullivan3807]

Amazing interview, good message through it and the ending was spot on

[@missreal1524]

Really heartfelt interview. I believe there will be a vindication in this case. Sending strength to Leigh.

[@rayfarthing5121]

Fond memories growing up with Leigh in the village. Tony was a man and a man who could stand up for himself. The village and local areas ie Stroud does not like people who do. Me and Leigh have some stories Tony was an awesome man

[@kevinriach6739]

Brought back many memories Leigh , crying thro this ,,in the short time I spent with Tony he left a big mark,,34 years seems like yesterday ..no one deserves justice more than you and the family, stay strong mate💪🙏

[@youtubesbestchannel1979]

similar thing happened to my dad. i leave it in Gods hands.

[@Gemma-bl4yl]

I hope this gets reopened !!!!

[@cheriejackson6991]

The pain in that man’s soul 💔😢 I pray 🙏 who ever prevents him from ??? Revenge?? Payback ?? That would depend on your view I believe! Just possibly it’s his dad’s spirit? Best wishes getting the justice your family deserve x

[@craig0101]

Brave man you are mate, Revenge seems good at times but it only brings you bigger problems in the long run. Don't lower yourself to the level of the dogs that done this to your old fella. Bless you and who/what is looking over you mate 👍💙

[@user-ct5nq8zn6k]

[@Iiwii726]

What a man♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@shaynewray5924]

Such a sad sad story, what great guy. Keep fighting Leigh and I hope You find justice and peace. Keep punching brother 🤛

[@rayfarthing5121]

Ray pit the copper at the time of the arrest of Leigh on maul. Said Leigh do not admit to anything as I have deliberately not cautioned you. So do not admit anything and it will be thrown out of court but Leigh unfortunately admitted to everything as he said in the interview

[@vandafowkes9759]

[@ghughes131]

Over 30k followers that’s nearly half the British army need to have 70k first 😂😂 crack on great effort

[@billyblack4985]

I remember the case well, Having grown up close by and as soon as I saw the name Alliss on the thumbnail it brought it all back.

[@wilfwill]

Wow leigh comes from my home town 6:43 100% right about the click

[@wilfwill]

8:44 if you are watching the comments leigh my grand father was barry Harris bro my uncles are Derek and addie Harris

[@awakeinthedark.]

them guys was for a sure getting help from someone. i only say this because im sure just having a unlicensed weapon is a minimum of 5 years and aint it something like 12 months for each round. i mean i could be wrong i have not looked into it to find out in years. BUT EITHER WAY THESE BLOCKED SHOULD HAVE SERVED ATLEAST A FEW YEARS. even as a accidental death with a firearm you no. you see if i was to go down to the shop and get into some stuff with another man and punch him and he hits his head and dies im doing atleast a couple years bird surely. i mean it happened to a couple boys i no. one was on a night out clubbing got into a fight punched a man banged his head and died he got 5 years the other was a 15 or 16 year old at the time he was out with his mate at a shopping centre two pissed blockes started shouting stuff at them and it turnt into a fight the guy i no hit one of the guys he died and he got 2 years i think it was. so how them men never served more time i dont get. maybe the council was helping him and other "sponsors" maybe the higher people wanted the land for other stuff like sacrificing people or something on land where they wouldnt get found out. YOU NEVER NO RIGHT

[@pranavsinha9369]

Does Freemasonry still exist?

[@JamesAlliss]

Most definitely!

[@wilfwill]

Yes heavily in stroud

[@brian3174]

UK in general the every town and village and major city's have a masonic lodge but don't start mason conspiracies when a man was murdered over boundaries of land by family in next farm/smallholding who went out to kill and sounds premeditated as unlicensed guns 2 I think doesn't say if had gun licence. Stinks of post in his borders at deep part woods dimly lit to lure victim into pulling posts then murder could've been shallow grave nearby thought after son came better kill witness and shot at son so accident set gun off emptied barrels into his dad and by magic abracadabra it reloads itself too shoot son neighbors prob have police friends who tried coverup back in 1990 still had local pigsbobby on beat community police smaller the villages more corruption and favouritism if community police came from town old pals act it's obvious every UK police forces are riddled with bent coppers from lands end to John o groats all 4 parts of Great Britain England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland have the biggest gang in country wear checked hats or tit on head helmet who protected prolific offenders like Jimmy Saville half of thatchers cabinet hid in closets and abused got away with it but if biggest gangs your protection we are FCKED

[@kevinparker461]

Freemasonry & plod are a problem. Read about "Operation Countryman". all about plod & corruption & how Masons are involved. Its never been sorted & it still goes on to this day. Never trust a copper ... EVER!!
