Judge Gregory Dickinson demanded to know why the Probation Service had allowed Bierton to be housed next-door to a woman who was a similar age to his previous victims. Bierton murdered sisters Elsie Gregory, 72, and Aileen Dudhill, 79, at their home in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, in 1995.
One woman was bludgeoned to death, while the other was stabbed. Pauline’s neighbours told the Mirror they did not know Bierton was a convicted killer when he moved in to their street in Kilton, near Worksop, Notts.
But they said he had been terrorising them with late-night drugs calls and demands for cash. Judge Dickinson told Nottingham crown court: “Mr Bierton was living at that address with permission of people supervising his life.”
