Home is in sought-after developmen­t and has had same tenant for 26 years ESTATE AGENT DESCRIBES WORBOYS’ ONE-BED FLAT

TAXI rapist John Worboys is selling his flat for £250,000 to fund his bid for freedom.

The sex fiend, 61, currently pockets £865 a month in rent on the property he bought in 1989.

But Worboys, convicted of attacks on 12 women, has decided to sell up since the High Court blocked his parole from a minimum eight-year sentence.

The one-bedroom, groundfloo­r flat is situated in a “sought after residentia­l developmen­t” in Enfield, North London, according to the estate agent.

It features a refitted kitchen, a remodelled shower room and a garage, and has had the same tenant living there for 26 years.

The flat is the final asset in his former property portfolio.

He has sold homes in Rotherhith­e, South East London, Harpenden, Herts, and Bournemout­h. Worboys is waiting to learn if he will face new sex charges after fresh allegation­s against him.

He will need to pay for lawyers if he is prosecuted and will also need representa­tion should he make a fresh parole bid in two years’ time.
