A serial burglar who murdered two pensioners in separate "vicious" attacks has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 38 years.

Amos Wilsher was found guilty last month of killing 88-year-old Josephine Kaye, originally from Dublin, after a trial which also saw him and his younger brother Jason Wilsher convicted of the murder of retired businessman Arthur Gumbley.
