Evil killer guilty of murdering seven-year-old girl found in derelict building

A man has been found guilty of murdering a schoolgirl 30 years ago, after he adopted seven fake names to escape authorities.

David Boyd, 55, denied murdering Nikki Allan, 7, who was discovered battered and stabbed in a derelict warehouse, reports the Daily Mirror. Nikki was hit with a brick and repeatedly knifed at the abandoned building in Sunderland, in October 1992, a court heard.

The killer was finally snared and arrested 26 years later, after cops had identified another man, and Nikki's own mother Sharon Henderson, 56, worked to find the correct culprit.
