Life sentence for triple murderer

Burgess, who last week was found guilty of murdering 17-year-old Beenham girl Yolande Waddington in 1966, will serve a minimum of 27-years before being considered for parol.
Sixty-four-year-old David Burgess, formerly of Stoneyfield, Beenham, was found guilty on Friday of murdering 17-year-old Yolande Waddington (pictured), who was found dead in a ditch in Clay Lane, Beenham, on October 30, 1966.
Yolande who had only moved to Beenham from Newbury five days before her death, had been stripped naked, stabbed and strangled.
Burgess had previously been convicted of murdering nine-year-old girls Jeanette Wigmore and Jacqueline Williams, whose bodies were found in a disused gravel pit in Beenham on April 17, 1967.
