him he had been sacked. From late 1979 onwards, he developed signs of schizophrenia and began to have delusions (one being that he was the victim of a plot to incarcerate an innocent tax-office employee so the effects of imprisonment would be tested on him). In January 1980, he said that coded messages on BBC Radio 2's Jimmy Young Show were being sent to him. In 1982, he claimed that his parents had a tape recorder hidden in the kitchen and made him sing after turning it on, later selling the songs to Barry Manilow to make money out of his talent. Throughout the 1980s, Kiszko's claims of innocence were either labelled as symptoms of his schizophrenic delusions or attributed to his being in a state of denial. One forensic psychiatrist made a note of Kiszko having 'delusions of innocence'. Remaining years in prison In October 1981, Kiszko was put in the punishment block for possessing scissors in his cell. On 11 November, he was transferred to Gloucester Prison. In April 1983, he was informed that eligibility for parole required an admission of guilt: if he continued to deny murdering Lesley, he would spend the rest of his life behind bars. This made no difference to Kiszko's stance. Thirteen months later – still denying having carried out the murder – he was moved to Bristol Prison. His mental deterioration was such that in June 1984, a forensic psychiatrist recommended his transfer to a high-security psychiatric hospital. Nothing came of it. Six months later, Kiszko was returned to Wakefield Prison. In August 1987, Kiszko was transferred to the specialist B-Category Grendon Prison where, in June 1988, the prison governor tried to persuade him to enroll on a sex offenders' treatment programme. This would require him to admit he murdered Lesley, followed by an exploration of his motives and behaviours. Kiszko refused to take part, persistently 'refusing to address his offending behaviour' on the grounds that he had done nothing that needed addressing. Having been classed as making 'no progress' he was returned to Wakefield Prison in May 1989. In February 1990, the Home Office privately disclosed that Kiszko's first parole hearing would take place in December 1992, by which time he would have served seventeen years in custody. However, he would only be released if he admitted to having murdered Lesley and if he could convince the Parole Board that he
