A man has been convicted of the historical abuse of two young children in Hereford.
Robert Ewing subjected his victims to sickening cruelty and one of them to sexual abuse over three years in the 1990s.
The abuse related to two victims, a boy aged between six and nine years at the time and a girl aged between nine and 13. Following a trial, Ewing, 64, was convicted of child cruelty against the boy and the girl and sexual abuse against the boy.
He was acquitted of further charges of indecent assault relating to both the boy and the girl.
All the offences were committed between 1990 and 1993 in the Hereford area.
Ewing, formerly of Kincraig Place, Blackpool is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of teenager Paige Chivers. He was jailed in 2015 and is serving a minimum of 33 years before he is eligible for parole.
He was jailed on Friday for a total of 14 years for the abuse and described by the judge as a ‘monster’ and 'evil incarnate'.
