Convicted double murderer Lawrence Bierton was allowed out on licence after killing two pensioners in Rotherham only to kill his elderly neighbour the following year. Bierton pleaded guilty at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, April 1, to the murder of 73-year-old grandma Pauline Quinn after he killed her in Rayton Spur, Worksop, on Tuesday, November 9, 2021.
He was released on May 11, 2020, after serving part of a life sentence for killing pensioners Aileen Dudhill (79), and 72-year-old Elsie Gregory in Herringthorpe Valley Road, Rotherham, on June 25, 1995. Fuller details of the killing of Mrs Quinn, who had a fractured skull, were not heard today and will be outlined when he is sentenced on June 10
Bierton, appearing on a link from HMP Manchester, pleaded guilty to Mrs Quinn's murder and theft of her car keys on November 9. Judge Gregory Dickinson QC, the Recorder of Nottingham, asked a probation officer on the link: "Am I correct to assume he was living at the address either with direction or permission of those responsible for supervising his life licence?"
