Double jeopardy killer gets 25 years for 1975 rape and murder of teen

Dennis McGrory was told he was likely to die in jail as he was sentenced to life with a minimum term of more than 25 years for murdering and raping teenager Jacqueline Montgomery in 1975.
He was cleared of the crime nearly half a century ago but was found guilty following a second trial after new scientific techniques produced a one-in-a-billion DNA match.
McGrory, now 75, was 28 when he raped and murdered the 15-year-old in her home in Islington, north London.
He was angry and looking for his estranged partner Josie, Jaqueline's aunt. It was thought he attacked her to force her to reveal Josie's new address.
Jacqueline's father found his daughter's body when he got home.
She had been raped, stabbed through the back, heart and diaphragm, and strangled - with the cord of an iron found around her neck.
Passing a life sentence with a minimum term of 25 years and 126 days at Huntingdon Crown Court, Mr Justice Bryan said McGrory had shown "not one iota of remorse."
The judge added: "How any man could inflict such sexual and physical harm upon a 15-year-old child who had done them no harm beggars belief."
