Lorry driver who killed and mutilated woman, 33, three decades ago is finally caged after boasting to fellow inmate that he'd got away with it
A "sadistic sexual killer" has been jailed for murdering an escort and mutilating her body 30 years ago after he boasted about getting away with it.David Smith, 67, had been acquitted of killing Sarah Crump in 1993 but her mother correctly warned he would go on to kill again.She was killed in Southall, West London, in 1991, and the monster cut her breasts off and sliced her chest open to place her organs on the bed at her home.
"I must sentence you for this abhorrent murder which was, I am sure, both sexual and sadistic in nature," Mr Justice Bryan said, giving him a life sentence with a minimum of 27 years, minus the 479 days he spent on remand in the 1990s. The lorry driver - known to his colleagues as "Honey Monster" or "Lurch" due to his 6ft 3in heavy build - was free to murder another sex worker, 21-year-old Amanda Walker, in 1999.Both women were sexually mutilated by depraved Smith, and Walker was discovered in a shallow grave near the Royal Horticultural Society's gardens at Wisley in Surrey.While on remand for killing Ms Walker, Smith told another inmate he thought he had "got away with" killing Ms Crump.
Evidence included the similarity between the murders, a cell confession and fingerprints found in Ms Crump's flat that were finally linked to the past owner.
