A 75-year-old man, who was acquitted of murder at a trial in 1976, has finally been brought to justice after a jury found him guilty of raping and murdering a teenager.
The murder of Jacqui Montgomery, 15, in Islington, north London, in June 1975 is believed to be the oldest double jeopardy case in Britain.
Dennis McGrory was 28 when he sexually assaulted, stabbed, and strangled 15-year-old Jacqui at her home after failing to find her aunt, who had recently left him.

The killer also ripped out a page from the teenager’s diary with her aunt’s address on it….
