SION JENKINS / BILLIE-JO
When deputy headmaster Sion Jenkins was arrested in 1997 over the murder of his 13-year-old foster daughter, Billie-Jo, it sparked one of the most compelling and controversial mysteries of the last decade.
Billie-Jo was battered over the head at least 10 times with an iron tent peg while painting patio doors at the family home in Hastings, East Sussex, in February 1997.
Having been jailed for life for the killing in 1998, Jenkins has now walked free from court following two retrials.
