He viciously strangled two of his victims days apart, and was shockingly able to kill a third time when he escaped from prison for four hours. As Somerset Live reports, there were warning signs during his troubled childhood, but question marks remained about his conviction for the third killing until his death. Straffen, who died in 2007, spent 55 years behind bars, with only Moors Murderer Ian Brady serving a longer prison sentence. His first two victims were aged just six and nine, and he later told police he had done it to give the police "something to really do" instead of going after him for trivial offences. When Straffen briefly escaped prison, he was tragically able to take the life of a five-year-old.

From 1938, when the family returned to England to live in Bath, Straffen was in virtually constant trouble with the authorities and was sent to special schools. At age 10 he was sent to "a school for backward children", and on July 27 1947, a 13-year-old girl reported to the police that a boy called John had put his hand over her mouth and asked: "What would you do if I killed you? I have done it before."

When arrested, he cheerfully confessed to burglary and many other low-level crimes. He was remanded in custody, where the medical officer of Horfield Prison examined him and labelled him 'feeble minded'. He was committed to Hortham Colony in Bristol, before being released on licence in 1951. Then, he struck.

She walked with him to a wood, where he put his hands round her neck and strangled her to death. He was interviewed by the police in connection with Brenda's murder and admitted being in the wood, but there was no evidence against him so was released. Later he would tell them he had done it to give the police "something to really do" instead of going after him for trivial offences.
