CHILD KILLER Evil Bishop BABES in the Wood monster Russell Bishop has been sentenced to at least 36 years in prison.

The cowardly paedophile refused to face the families of nine-year-old victims Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway in court.

They described Bishop, 52, as “evil personifie­d” for sexually assaulting and murdering the girls in Wild Park, Brighton, in 1986.

At the Old Bailey, Mr Justice Sweeney passed two life sentences, making the beast, who has heart TRAGIC Karen, left, and Nicola were killed in woods

trouble, only eligible for parole at 88. He said: “The terror each girl must have suffered is unimaginab­le.”

Karen’s mother Michelle Hadaway, 61, said: “Finally justice has been done.”

Sue Eismann, 69, Nicola’s mum, added: “I have lived with the pain, the loss and sheer hate towards him for what he had done for the last 32 years.”

Bishop was always the prime suspect but blunders by police and prosecutor­s led to him being cleared in a 1987 trial.

He faced a fresh trial after changes to double jeopardy laws and a DNA breakthrou­gh. PAGE 34 WAYNE and Coleen Rooney were Donald Trump’s guests of honour at the White House Christmas Party

Despite many American sports stars refusing to set foot in the controvers­ial US President’s official home, the former Manchester United and Everton ace happily accepted the invitation.

And he did not have far to go for the bash as he now plays for Washington’s DC United on a £300,000-a-week deal.

The Rooneys were reportedly joined at Sunday’s party by their sons, Kai, nine, Klay, five, Kit, two and nine-month-old

TRUMP: Hey Wayne, lemme guess, you’re named after The Duke John Wayne, the great American, no bullsh**, war-loving, foreigner-hating Republican hard-guy patriot who modelled himself on me? ROONEY: Erm, no. Me dad. TRUMP: Where did you say you’re from? ROONEY: Liverpool.

TRUMP: A great Scottish city. Where the Rolling Stones came from, yeah? Did you know they wrote Street Fighting Man about me after seeing me at a rally? Cass. The invitation is understood to have been made thanks to Trump’s football-mad son Barron.

The 12-year-old is said to excel at football at his private school and is often seen in his Arsenal strip practising on the lawn near the Oval Office.

During the party, in which a military band played Christmas songs including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, ROONEY: Erm, it was The Beatles who came from there.

TRUMP: The Who? Listen, I’ll be straight with you, Duke. I think your Prime Minister is a loser who is leading a shower of not good, fake-news phonies who don’t have a clue what they’re doin’. Anyway, Wayne posed with Barron as Mr Trump mingled with the other guests.

According to sources the Rooneys were given a guided tour of the US leader’s private quarters in the famous building.

Barron, the President’s youngest son, previously played for DC United’s youth teams and posed with some of the squad at the White House.

A source said: “Barron is mad on football. Whenever he gets the chance, he is kicking a ball about.

“He loves DC United and Wayne is known to be one of his favourite players since he joined the club. The invite was

how’s the soccerball goin’? I hear, like me, you’re doin’ a great job. You scored a free-kick goalscore from 30 yards. ROONEY: Yeah, I got it over the wall. TRUMP: Get over the wall? Do you have Mexican blood in you? [Laughs.] ROONEY: No, no Mexican blood, sir. TRUMP: What kind of teamster are you? Quarterbac­k, offensive lineman? ROONEY: I’m offensive, I suppose. Bit like yourself. [Laughs.]

TRUMP: Lock him up.

TRUMP’S SON

a great honour for Wayne and though his visit was in no way political he was happy to accept.”

Wayne, 33, joined Major League Soccer team DC United in August after leaving Everton.

Sports stars who have boycotted the Trump White House include basketball icons Steph Curry and LeBron James and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn. PARTY Melania & Donald with children
