Mum of murdered girl who had to wait 30 years for justice will sue for police 'errors'

The mum of a murdered seven year-old has vowed to watch the killer face justice this week – but wants to sue the police for “mistakes” that left the monster on the loose for more than 30 years.

Nikki’s mum Sharon Henderson has vowed to be in court on Tuesday when Boyd, 55, is due to be sentenced.
