Kiszko needed further psychiatric treatment and remained in Prestwich Hospital until late April 1992 when he was finally released, but the 16 years of incarceration for something he had not done had both mentally and emotionally destroyed him. Kiszko became a virtual recluse and showed little interest in anything or anyone. He bought a new car (a silver Ford Sierra) and drove it on short journeys to the shops, Morrison's or garden centres or to visit relatives, but other people's apologies for what had happened, encouragement and support seemed to frighten him.
