ITV News published this video item, entitled “Rikki Neave: James Watson sentenced for murder of Peterborough schoolboy in 1994 | ITV News” – below is their description.
A “pure evil” killer who strangled a six-year-old schoolboy and evaded justice for decades has been jailed for 15 years.
James Watson was 13 when he lured Rikki Neave into woods near his home in Peterborough on 28 November 1994.
He attacked the boy from behind using either a ligature or his own anorak zip, in order to fulfil a “morbid fantasy” he had told his mother about three days before.
