Jailhouselawyer's Blog

A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

'Dangerous' double killer given whole-life jail term

'Dangerous' double killer given whole-life jail term

A double-murderer has been jailed for the rest of his life by a judge who told him he was "a very dangerous man".



Royston Jackson, 43, of Pettus Road, Norwich, was convicted of murdering sex offender Gordon Boon, 73.

He strangled Boon and dumped his body in a lane at Great Witchingham, Norfolk in 2008, two years after being released from prison for the first murder.

Jackson killed Stephen Raven in Essex in 1989 and dumped his body in the same way, Norwich Crown Court heard.

Both of Jackson's victims had been strangled and their clothes had been interfered with, before their bodies were dumped in a quiet lane.

John Hirst Hull, East Yorkshire, GB "Who is John Hirst?" the Sun online questioned the day after the UK lost its appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR in the prisoners votes case. The profile was not very informative nor flattering. But, I don't like the Sun either so we are quits. I was born, at 2 I was put into Dr Barnardo's Homes. What they called care, we refer to it as physical and sexual abuse. I drifted into crime, and spent 35 years in prison. In spite of the system, I reformed and rehabilitated myself with the support of some within and outside of the system. I was transformed from a law breaker into a law-maker. I am firmly committed to prisoners rights, and am a campaigner for penal reform. I live in a 3 bedroom terrace house within a cul-de-sac, and have a dog as a companion. My Latvian friend keeps invading my space and telling me I need a wife. She does keep the house clean and tidy, but loves my dog and calls him her boyfriend... Recently, Viking FM have asked for advice and reports for the news on radio on Criminal Justice issues. In addition, I used to write regularly for Inside Time the National newspaper for prisoners.
