A man, originally from Weston and already a convicted rapist, has been found guilty of murder in London - thanks to a DNA match twelve years later.

James Citro - who changed his surname from Kennedy - has been convicted of strangling his Lithuanian neighbour Nik-hole Siska-Viss-ee-enn in Wembley in 1998.

He was only arrested last year, after trying to throw police off by sending anonymous letters claiming two black men had been seen with Miz Siska-Viss-ee-enn's body.

He's expected to be sentenced to a life term next month, subject to a psychiatric report.
