He was acquitted of sexual offences, but convicted of hindering a police investigation, in relation to the schoolgirls.
Rumours that the Geeveses used Haigh as a “surrogate”, so they could have her baby, ran “out of control” among neighbours and members of the local community, fuelled by estranged family members and health professionals concerned about Haigh’s vulnerability in her relationship with Robert Geeves. The prosecution case has asserted the Geeveses deliberately impregnated Haigh and, after her son was born in January 2002, had her “removed from the equation” by killing her, so they could take her baby.
