A victim’s sister told a court that she hoped a serial sex offender who operated on the London Underground would “rot in prison for the rest of his life” as he was sentenced for murder and rape. The sentencing brings legal accountability for serious violent and sexual crimes, while highlighting the lasting impact on victims’ families.

The offender was convicted of multiple murders as well as rape, following a history of sexual offending linked to the Tube. During the hearing, the victim’s sister spoke directly about the harm caused and called for him to remain imprisoned for life.
