The former girlfriend of Babes in the Wood murderer Russell Bishop is due to be freed from prison next month after serving three years of a six-year sentence. The case became known as the Babes in the Wood murders and Johnson’s lies and the acquittal of Bishop left him free to strike again. When Sir Peter Fraser, known as Mr Justice Fraser, jailed Johnson at Lewes Crown court in May 2021, he said: “The significance of your perjury at the 1987 trial cannot be overstated.” Mr Justice Fraser, the High Court judge who ruled against the Post Office in the sub-postmasters scandal, said that the abduction was a “dreadful consequence” of Bishop’s acquittal. He was finally convicted by a jury at the Central Criminal Court, better known as the Old Bailey, in London, in December 2018.
