An inquest has opened and adjourned into the death of a grandmother killed by convicted double murderer Lawrence Bierton in Worksop. Bierton was allowed out on licence after killing two pensioners in Rotherham - only to kill his elderly neighbour in Nottinghamshire the following year.
Bierton, then 61 and of Rayton Spur, Worksop, pleaded guilty at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, April 1, to the murder of 72-year-old grandma Pauline Quinn after he killed her in Rayton Spur on Tuesday, November 9, 2021, and he is awaiting sentencing on December 16 this year.
The inquest process formerly started on Wednesday (November 16) with area coroner for Nottinghamshire Laurinda Bower holding a very brief public hearing to record the details surrounding mum-of-three Mrs Quinn's death. Attending over a link to the Council House in Nottingham were members of the pensioner's bereaved family.
