Mother appeals to murder suspect to hand himself in
The mother of sex offender Graeme Jarman, who is wanted in connection with the murder of a 77-year-old woman, is appealing to him to hand himself in to police.
Seventy-one-year-old Irene Jarman said: “Graeme, you need to hand yourself in immediately at the nearest police station. It’s the best thing you can do.
“You’ve handed yourself in before and you can do it again.”
Jarman, who has boasted of being a psychopath, has not been seen at his home in the Delves Lane area of Consett in County Durham since 17 August.
A nationwide hunt is continuing for the serial sex attacker, who is wanted in connection with the murder of a pensioner. His details have been circulated among police forces around the country as he has links with the south of England.
The 47-year old former civil servant, who has been described as an evil, cunning predator, disappeared following the murder of 77-year-old Judith Richardson, who was battered to death in her own home.
Jarman has spent time in jail for kidnap, rape, armed robbery and indecent assault. Detectives said he is a suspect in the murder investigation.
Durham Constabulary reported him as missing after he failed to appear in court on a shoplifting charge on 23 August. He was last seen in Stockton-on-Tees on Friday.
