Jennifer Johnson court case
The families of murdered schoolgirls Karen Hadaway and Nicola Fellows say Jennifer Johnson must “pay her price” for her “wicked lies”.
Jennifer Johnson, the ex-girlfriend of Babes in the Wood killer Russell Bishop, was found guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice on Monday.
The verdicts come more than 30 years after Bishop’s acquittal at his 1987 trial, when he was accused of killing nine-year-olds Karen and Nicola.

During the ensuing decades, the girls’ families faced a heartbreaking wait for justice and Bishop went on to attack again.

Just before 10.30pm on Saturday (1 May) officers responded to reports of criminal damage being caused at a communal block of flats in Sussex Road, Haywards Heath said police.
The group attempted to disperse from the area but officers were able to locate four people.
A spokeswoman said: “Officers engaged in communication with the group before they allegedly became both verbally and physically aggressive towards the offices on scene. One of the women is alleged to have punched an officer in the back of the head before biting the same officer’s hand.”
