Those duped into having relationships with undercover police are hoping for answers from the inquiry
The public inquiry into undercover policing might never have happened were it not for a chance discovery in a van in Italy. Lisa Jones was having a “blissful holiday” in July 2010 touring the mountains with her boyfriend, an environmental activist who went by the name Mark Stone.
Searching for her sunglasses in the glove compartment, her hand pressed against the leather cover of a British passport. Inside, she saw her boyfriend’s photo beside a stranger’s name: Mark Kennedy. She then found a mobile phone containing emails from two children, calling her boyfriend “Dad”.
