Lawrence Bierton was jailed for killing sisters Elsie Gregory, 72, and Aileen Dudhill, 79, at their home in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, in 1995. One woman was bludgeoned to death, while the other was stabbed.
After serving his sentence, Bierton was released on licence in 2020 and housed next door to a 73-year-old woman - Pauline Quinn. According to the Mirror, paramedics found the pensioner dying in her bungalow last November, after concerns were raised when she could not be reached.
Bierton was arrested 30 miles away the next morning. He had been driving Pauline’s car.
