NOTORIOUS TRIPLE MURDERER HANDED LIFE IN PRISON WITH NO PAROLE
A man classified as a triple murderer has received a whole-life prison order after killing his neighbour because he was wrongly assigned to live next to her while on parole.Lawrence Bierton, aged 63, will spend his remaining days incarcerated after he assaulted 73-year-old Pauline Quinn at her home on Rayton Spur in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, on 9 November 2021.
Bierton had been allocated accommodation on Rayton Spur while serving part of a life sentence for the 1995 murder of two elderly sisters.
A representative from the Probation Service described this housing decision as “incorrect” during court proceedings, and the judge, Mr Justice Pepperall, referred to it as a “significant mistake.” Bierton was convicted of Quinn’s murder after a two-week trial at Nottingham Crown Court, with the judge describing his third killing as “senseless as it was brutal.” On Wednesday, the court imposed a whole-life order—the first issued since 2005—stating: “You have been found guilty of the senseless and brutal murder of three elderly and disabled women in their own homes.
You showed each of the victims no mercy.
These were sustained attacks involving extraordinary violence.
I am convinced that you must never be allowed out on the streets again.
The only appropriate sentence is for you to remain in prison for life.”
