One of UK’s most wanted men arrested at airport after almost 30 years on run
An 80-year-old man who was wanted by police for almost 30 years over alleged sexual abuse of children has been arrested at Heathrow Airport.
Richard Burrows was returning to the UK from Thailand when he was taken in by police last Thursday.
He has been wanted since December 1997, when he failed to attend Chester Crown Court to face trial for two counts of buggery and 11 counts of indecent assault.
The charges related to alleged offences between 1969 and 1971 at a children’s home in Congleton, Cheshire, and in the West Midlands.
