Good evening. The Shropshire man serving life for a brutal murder in | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
1994 has been found responsible for two others committed in the same | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
year. Robin Ligus was 59 and was presented in the dock for only one | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
day at his month-long trial at Birmingham Crown Court, having been | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
judged mentally unfit for taking part in the proceedings. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
He called himself a natural born killer, but it took 17 years to | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
bring Robin Ligus to full account for his crimes. He has been in jail | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
for the mid- 90s, when he battered to death Robert Young, a retired | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
businessman and his home in Shrewsbury. I don't know who would | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
want to do that to him. He did nobody any harm. He would chatter | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
as we went by. We now know this is not his only killing, far from it. | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
I had an iron bar. It was inside my camouflage jacket and I hit him on | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
the back of the head. And 2009, he confessed to the murder of Trevor | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Bradley, an antiques dealer found and the remains of his burnt-out | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
car. I hope he rots in hell. I truly hope you rot in hell. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Trevor's younger brother of new Robin Ligus and says he is a | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
psychopath. He is now confined to a wheelchair and has been considered | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
mentally unfit to attend the trial. He has a full-time carer in prison. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
There are pensioners out here that have led an honest life and they | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
cannot have their own careers. But we have this sort of person already | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
doing life for killing someone, living the life of luxury. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
other victim was Bryan Coles, battered over the head during a | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
burglary at his bungalow in Whitchurch. The original police | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
inquiry team have doubted the truth of his confessions which he later | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
retracted. A decade on, Cold Case Review Letters to the charges. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
Robin Ligus claimed he drowned another man when he was just 17 but | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
police found no record of that victim. And imagining, perhaps, of | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
a murderous mind. And Robin Ligus will be sentenced | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
on July 29th. The jury found it had not been proved that he was | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
involved in the death of Bernard Czyzewska, whose body was found in | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
