BREAKING: Sadistic 'ripper' killer jailed for escort's murder 30 years after being cleared
A sadistic ‘ripper’-style killer who murdered and mutilated an escort has been jailed for life – three decades after walking free for the same crime.
He went on to commit an almost identical murder of another sex worker, Amanda Walker, 21, in 1999, for which he has served 24 years of a life sentence. Ms Crump, a secretary in the chiropody department at Wimbledon Hospital, south-west London, had lived a double life as an escort and Smith visited her at her one-bedroom flat in Southall, west London, in 1991.
The judge, Mr Justice Bryan, handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 27 years minus the 479 days he spent on remand in the 90s, meaning he will serve at least 25 years and 251 days.
