A killer behind a brutal double murder has died in prison. Raymond Whittaker was involved in a grim gangland-style killing in East Yorkshire where two people were killed in a house on a street in Bridlington only days before Christmas 1999.
Whittaker, who was 36 at the time, was later jailed for 23 years following a trial and was told he would never walk free again. Whittaker’s death was confirmed by a prison ombudsman report published this month. It also revealed that he had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition which can affect the brain and spinal cord, 16 years before his death, HullLive reports.
Whittaker's victims were both shot in the back of the head in a cold and calculated manner. Patricia Price was found dead in the upstairs bedroom of her home, while Ian Clark lay slumped downstairs in the living room.
