92-year-old Ryland Headley was convicted today at Bristol Crown Court of killing 75-year-old mother of two Louisa Dunne at her home back in June 1967.

Matching palm prints taken at the scene almost 60 years ago led a jury to find Headley guilty on both charges.

It's thought to be the UK's longest cold case to reach trial.

Mr Justice Sweeting told Headley the obvious: "You will die in prison."
