Judge gives serial child killer 25 years in prison

Serial child killer Robert Black is to serve a minimum of 25 years in jail for murdering a schoolgirl 30 years ago.

Black, 64, was sentenced at Belfast Crown Court after he was found guilty last month of snatching nine-year-old Jennifer Cardy as she cycled to a friend’s house in Ballinderry, County Antrim, in 1981.
