Convicted Shrewsbury serial killer Robin Stanislaw Ligus has died aged 70
Ligus was jailed for life in 1996 for the murder of Robert Young, 75, during a burglary at Mr Young's home in Shrewsbury two years previously. Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court were asked to rule on whether or not Ligus was responsible for the killings following a trial of facts, after he was declared unfit to plead following a stroke in 2006.
Ligus, a former painter and decorator, was detained in a secure hospital indefinitely following the jurors' ruling.
