Murderer who killed young Nottinghamshire mum had an 'abusive, sordid background'

A murderer who inflicted 199 separate injuries to his victim's head and body is a convicted paedophile, who had a series of previous convictions for sexual abuse and exploitation of children. The horrendous criminal background of David Jackson was revealed by the CPS after he was jailed for life over the savage drug-fuelled killing of Mckyla Taylor in his flat.

Jackson, now 67, murdered Mckyla - who he had known for some time - in August 2022 after taking crack cocaine. They went to his home to pick up some money - because Jackson wanted to find more drugs.

While in the apartment, Jackson turned on McKyla and attacked and killed her with a pair of screwdrivers. The CPS has now revealed the killer had a series of convictions for sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
