Child killer: David Burgess
23 July 2012
A double child killer was today sentenced to life with a minimum term of 27 years behind bars for murdering a teenager in 1966.
David Burgess, 65, killed nanny Yolande Waddington, 17, just days after she arrived in the village of Beenham, Berkshire, where he lived.
The killer was previously convicted of murdering nine-year-olds Jeanette Wigmore and Jacqueline Williams, in the same village, in 1967.
He escaped justice as a 19-year-old for Yolande's murder until he was convicted last week by a jury at Reading Crown Court, 46 years on.
Nine of the jurors returned to court today to watch bearded Burgess be sentenced.
