A Blackpool paedophile who murdered a schoolgirl has died in prison - and her body has never been found.
Robert Ewing was convicted for killing 15-year-old Paige Chivers at his Blackpool flat. He was given a life sentence and ordered to serve at least 32 years before becoming eligible for parole in July 2015. Paige was murdered to stop her telling police about the sex abuse she suffered at his hands. A court heard how in 2007, Paige was a troubled teen following the death of her mother and her father’s battle with booze.She was preyed on by Ewing, who allowed teenage girls to drink, smoke and take drugs in his flat. He had previously served a year in prison for gross indecency and indecently assaulting a 13-year-old girl, Daily Record reports.
When Paige threatened to report his sex abuse, she was murdered by Ewing in August 2007. The schoolgirl's body has never been found. Gareth Dewhurst, 46, also from Blackpool, who helped Ewing to dispose of the body, was jailed for seven years for assisting an offender and an additional year for intending to pervert the course of justice by intimidating witnesses.Ewing, now 68, has died in prison after being found inside his prison cell last week. A spokesman for the Prison Service said: “We can confirm that Robert Ewing, 68, died in prison on Friday, November 4.
