Roger Rogerson’s parents: Meet Owen Rogerson & Mabel Boxley
Rogerson’s father Owen Rogerson immigrated from Kingston upon Hull, England during his career as a boilermaker; his mother Mabel Boxley immigrated from Cardiff, Wales with her parents as a youth (her English-born father Caleb Boxley was the reason for Roger’s middle name).
Owen Rogerson left the police after 30 years of service for medical reasons. His brother was dismissed in 1984 and became known as “the disgraced former detective Roger Rogerson”.
While the two have not talked much for years, Owen Rogerson says he visited his older brother in hospital after he had a stroke in September.
