Biggs Wearing

Ronnie Biggs solicitor, Jane Wearing talking to the waiting media outside West London Magistrates'. Biggs had shuffled into court with the aid of a walking stick and stood impassively in the dock. * He was not charged with any offence, District Judge Tim Workman merely having to be satisfied that he was the person named in an arrest warrant issued following his escape. The fugitive was asked to identify himself and confirm his date of birth, and also whether he was the person sentenced at Buckingham Assizes in 1964 for his part in the Great Train Robbery. Biggs, rendered speechless by a series of strokes, answered all three questions with a barely audible grunt. After the short hearing he was sent back to Belmarsh Prison in south east London.
