What the court heard

He was found guilty of murder in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, on 1 February 2019. SENTENCING REMARKS 1. The jury have found you guilty of the rape and murder of 21 year old Liberty Squire on 1 February 2019. I must now sentence you for those offences. For the offence of murder, the sentence is fixed by law. The sentence for that offence is life imprisonment. But I must now set the minimum term that you will serve in custody for that offence. In doing so, that minimum term will reflect no t only the murder but also the offence of rape. 2. A minimum term means what it says. Even after you have served that term, you will not be released unless and until the Parole Board decides that it is safe to do so. You may never be released. If you are, you will remain on licence for the rest of your life and will be liable to recall if you commit any further offence or breach the conditions of your licence. 3. I have been the trial judge in this case, and I set out now the facts of your offending of which I am sure having heard all of the evidence. 4.

You watched these women, staring back at them brazenly even after they had spotted you. You went into their homes, stealing personal items of clothing or sex toys, often leaving a calling card in the form of a condom that you had used for masturbation. You masturbated in public. During the three weeks before you raped and killed Liberty Squire, you confronted two sets of young women at night. On one occasion you masturbated in front of them whilst looking directly at them; on the other occasion you masturbated only a few metres away from the women and then followed them, ejaculating over the front door of their house. 5. The sentencing judge in August 2019 referred to your offending as a perverted campaign of sexually deviant behaviour. He was correct to do so. He also considered you to be,…
