Triple crossbow killer Kyle Clifford has refused to attend his sentencing as the judge has declined to order restraints due to the killer’s disability.
Judge Justice Bennathan said he received an inquiry from Belmarsh Prison “as to whether I would order restraints so he (Kyle Clifford) should be brought to the video room”.
Speaking to Cambridge Crown Court, the judge said: “I have declined on the basis that the idea of a man in a wheelchair being put in restraints and potentially disrupting these proceedings… is simply not appropriate or suitable.”
“If the defendant lacks the courage to face today, so be it – but I’m conscious part of this morning will be people paying tribute to the three women who died, and I’m not having that disrupted by anything.”
