Murderer Lawrence Bierton - who was on licence when he killed 73-year-old grandma Pauline Quinn - continues to wait to be sentenced. His Nottingham Crown Court case is listed for further mention on April 5, and he is not required to attend.
Bierton was jailed after he killed pensioners Aileen Dudhill, 79, and 72-year-old Elsie Gregory in Herringthorpe Valley Road, Rotherham, on June 25, 1995, but was allowed out on licence, and killed Mrs Quinn in Rayton Spur, Worksop, on November 9, 2021. After Bierton - then 61, and of Rayton Spur, Worksop - pleaded guilty to Mrs Quinn's murder and theft of her car keys at a court hearing in April last year, one MP led calls for an independent inquiry into why a dangerous offender was released before he went on to murder his elderly neighbour.
Since then the a Probation Service spokesperson confirmed to Nottinghamshire Live: “A serious further offence review has now been completed and it would be inappropriate to comment further until the victims have had the chance to hear the review’s findings after sentencing. This was an appalling crime and our thoughts are with Pauline Quinn’s family."
