https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_End_Murders
Angus Sinclair, was acquitted in 2007 in controversial circumstances. Following the amendment of the law of double jeopardy, which would have prevented his retrial, Sinclair was re-tried in October 2014 and convicted of both murders on 14 November 2014. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 37 years, the longest sentence by a Scottish court, meaning he would be 106 years old when he was eligible for a potential release on parole.[1] He died in prison at the age of 73, on 11 March 2019.[2]
In addition to Eadie and Scott, Sinclair also pleaded guilty to culpable homicide of his eight-year-old neighbour Catherine Reehill in Glasgowin 1961, when he was sixteen,[3] and given another life sentence in 2001 for the 1978 murder of 17-year-old Mary Gallacher on a footpath in Glasgow.[4] He is thought to have also killed four other women between 1977 and 1978, all within a seven-month period of the murders of Eadie and Scott.[5]
