The judge said Roberts’ depravity knew no bounds. ibid.
Following a trial at Southwark Crown Court, the 45-year-old, of no fixed address, was given four life sentences by Judge Stephen Robbins.
Judge Robbins said: ‘I do sentence you to imprisonment for the rest of your natural life ... your utter depravity knows no bounds; these are very grave offences.’
After the sentence was read out Roberts said: ‘I will only say this, my lord, I am absolutely not guilty and I will ...’ before he was dragged from the dock by prison guards.
Roberts subjected his terrified victims to horrific ordeals during a series of violent burglaries in south London in the late 1980s. Mail online article 13 January 2012, ‘Your utter depravity knows no bounds – so you will die in prison: Beast of Bermondsey who raped elderly women jailed for life’
