Justice for Nikki Allan as monstrous murderer convicted after 31 years of torture for family

Murdered schoolgirl Nikki Allan's family finally have justice after 31 years of not knowing who the monster was who lured her away and savagely killed her.

For three long decades, the tragic seven-year-old's family, including mum, Sharon, and dad, David, have had to deal with the torture of knowing the gruesome details of how Nikki was brutally killed but not knowing who did it.

After the false hope of police charging innocent George Heron after a blinkered initial investigation, years and years passed with no sign of a breakthrough. Now, finally, they have their answer to the mystery. And the paedophile who lured the little girl away with a sinister motive then killed her had been under their noses from the very start.
