A survivor of the notorious Babes in the Wood murderer offered the killer her £1 sweets money if he spared her life.
Racheal Watts was seven years old when she was taken from her home in Whitehawk, Brighton, and molested by sick Russell Bishop - who then left her for dead.
More than three years earlier in October 1986 Bishop had murdered nine-year-olds Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway, but would not be convicted until 2018.
