BREAKING: David Smith has been found guilty of murdering sex worker Sarah Crump more than 30 years ago.
Six weeks later, Amanda’s body was discovered on the grounds of the Royal Horticultural Society in Wisley, Surrey.In a case that has appalled Britain with its brutal details that the press compared to Jack the Ripper, Smith was convicted at the Old Bailey that year for Amanda’s death.
As new evidence around Sarah’s death mounted, double jeopardy laws at the time meant Smith couldn’t be tried for the same crime again. The Court of Appeal ordered a retrial of Smith and, after less than three hours of deliberation, jurors found him guilty.Jurors previously heard how while waiting on remand and awaiting trial for Amanda’s murder, he boasted to an inmate that he had ‘walked’ free already.Justice Bryan said he would sentence Smith on Friday.
