COOK, DAVID: When Life Means Life TV - Daily Mail online -
A man who twice turned to murder more than twenty years apart. A man who turned on his friends. He duped a whole community and used extreme violence. When Life Means Life s2e2, CI 2013
He had twice been jailed for violent robberies. ibid.
A court heard the violent death of Mr Hill had a ‘chilling similarity’ to his strangulation of teacher Beryl Maynard in 1987.
And yesterday Cook was jailed for a second life term and told there is no chance of ever getting freed again.
Judge John Griffith Williams QC told him: ‘This is the second murder you have committed.
‘The seriousness of this offence is extremely high and I have to impose on you a whole life order. You will never be considered for release.’
Evil Cook killed Good Samaritan Mrs Maynard after she befriended him while he was in prison. But he robbed and killed her at her home.
And then more than 20 years later, he befriended new neighbour Mr Hill – before robbing and killing him in a similar way.
The judge told him: ‘You are a pathological liar who will tell any lie to further your self-interest.’ Daily Mail online article Ted Thornhill 2nd May 2012
