VILE PEDO Who Spent Decades On The Run in Thailand Jailed For 46 Years
One of Britains Most Wanted PEDOs Richard Burrows is Found Guilty of 97 Offences
PEDO scoutmaster who spent 27 years on the run after fleeing to Thailand when he was due to appear in court, is found guilty of dozens of child sex abuse offences
5 News 21 MAR 2025
A paedophile who spent nearly three decades on the run in Thailand was today branded shambling, despicable and evil by one of his victims as he was convicted of dozens of historical sexual abuse offences against boys.
Richard Burrows, a former boarding school housemaster and scout leader, faces dying behind bars after he was found guilty of 54 child sex offences by a jury at Chester Crown Court, having already pleaded guilty to 43 crimes.
The predator became one of the UKs most wanted fugitives when he fled the country before his trial was due to take place in 1997, but he was arrested at Heathrow Airport in March last year after returning from Thailand.
Burrows, 80, was snared after he tried to re enter the UK, having spent 27 years in his paradise using a stolen identity, a jury heard.
Police bodycam footage released today shows the moment Burrows, aided with a walking stick, was arrested after landing at Heathrow and bundled into a wheelchair.
The court heard how between 1968 and 1995, Burrows systematically abused 26 young boys across the Cheshire, West Midlands and West Mercia areas.
Burrows, then 53, was arrested and charged with a number of offences in 1997, which he denied, but failed to appear at a pre trial plea and preparation hearing on 8 December that year.
He had in fact fled to Thailand under the name of Peter Leslie Smith, having stolen an acquaintances identity and used it to obtain a passport.
The prolific sex offender, described by police as a coward who enjoyed a life of paradise while his victims were left to suffer, will be sentenced for a total of 97 offences on 7 April
