A copy of 'Magick' by controversial writer Aleister Crowley similar to the one found by police in the Peterborough home of Ruth Neave after the murder of her son Rikki in November 1994 and it figured strongly in the prosecution case that he had been killed by his mother in a form of ritual slaying. However the jury in Northampton Crown Court today (Wednesday) rejected the evidence and found Mrs Neave not guilty on the counts of murder and manslaughter. See PA Story COURTS Neave/PA.
