Roy Whiting Biography

Roy Whiting is one of the most popular and richest Criminal who was born on January 26, 1959 in Crawley, England, United Kingdom. Whiting was born 26 January 1959 in Horsham (West Sussex) and grew up there as one of six children to Pamela Whiting and Charles Whiting. They divorced in the 1970s. Whiting had five siblings, but three of them died during infancy. His surviving siblings were an older brother or sister.

Whiting raped and assaulted an eight year-old girl from Langley Green, Crawley on March 4, 1995. Whiting was arrested several weeks later by a man who knew Whiting after hearing that Whiting’s abductor had a red Ford Sierra with an identical Bart Simpson sticker on its window. He pleaded guilty to the charges of indecent assault, abduction, and kidnapping and was sentenced for 4 years. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime. However, he was given a shorter sentence to compensate for his admission and to spare his victim the pain of having to testify in court if the case went to trial. Whiting was convicted by a psychiatrist. He was likely to reoffend and could even kill the next victim.

With Whiting in prison for car theft and dangerous driving, detectives meanwhile carried out forensic tests on his white F-registered Fiat Ducato van, which he had purchased on 24 June 2000, exactly a week before Sarah Payne’s disappearance. On 6 February 2001, following a police enquiry, Roy Whiting was charged with the murder of Sarah Payne.

Whiting had moved out of his father’s house after a vigilante mob smashed the windows with bricks, and now lived in a tent in woodland behind a housing estate in Crawley. On 21 July 2000, Whiting took to the road in a stolen Vauxhall Nova and was pursued by police at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour (110 km/h) before he crashed into a parked vehicle and was arrested for dangerous driving, he was remanded in custody to appear in court two months later. On 27 September 2000, Whiting admitted taking the car and driving dangerously. He was sentenced to 22 months in prison.

He married Linda Booker in 1986. The couple split in 1986, just before their son was born. They divorced in 1990. Whiting also had an unborn child with a woman, who was born in 1990.
