Richard Burrows, 81, was on the run for three decades before arrest for abuse of young boys in West Midlands

A “despicable” 81-year-old former scout leader has been jailed for 46 years for sexually abusing scores of young boys before going on the run for nearly three decades.

Richard Burrows, an ex-school housemaster, was convicted earlier this year of 97 offences against 24 children between 1968 and 1995.
