The last man from Britain to face being hanged has died - and he protested his innocence until his last day.
Alan Norton, 79, was sentenced to death by hanging in 1966, after his 10-year-old sister, Joy, was found stabbed to death a year before, in 1965.
He always denied the crime and in 1986, while he was waiting for his date to hang, capital punishment was abolished on the Channel Island of Jersey so his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and Norton ended up serving more than 30 years in prison.
