A serious further offence review has been completed after convicted double murderer Lawrence Bierton was allowed out on licence - only to kill his elderly neighbour the following year in Worksop. Lawrence Bierton is awaiting sentencing for the murder of 73-year-old grandma Pauline Quinn after he killed her in Rayton Spur, Worksop, on November 9, 2021.
The shocking crime happened within two years of his release on May 11, 2020, after serving part of a life sentence for killing pensioners Aileen Dudhill, 79, and 72-year-old Elsie Gregory in Herringthorpe Valley Road, Rotherham, on June 25, 1995. Bierton's case is currently listed for mention at Nottingham Crown Court on January 27.
After he pleaded guilty to Mrs Quinn's murder and theft of her car keys on November 9 at a hearing in April last year, one MP led calls for an independent inquiry into why a dangerous offender was released before murdering his elderly neighbour. Now a Probation Service spokesperson has told Nottinghamshire Live: “A serious further offence review has now been completed and it would be inappropriate to comment further until the victims have had the chance to hear the review’s findings after sentencing.
