From the BBC today: Nazi war criminal dies in Britain The only man to have been convicted in Britain of Nazi war crimes has died in Norwich prison. Anthony Sawoniuk, 84, was serving two life sentences after being found guilty of murdering 18 Jews in the UK's first war crimes trial. The former British Rail ticket collector was found guilty in 1999 of crimes committed in his home town of Domachevo, Belarus. He lost an appeal against his conviction in 2000. Police said Sawoniuk was believed to have died of natural causes and his death was not being treated as suspicious.

If you are interested, Nick, I suggest you read Justice Delayed by David Cesarani (Phoenix, UK cover price £14.99), available from amazon uk.
i hope he rots in hell! An eternity of being burned and whipped whilst being forced to do endless, monotonous and irrelevant labour. That's his punishment for his actions all those years ago. What a silly boy. They should have got rid of him years ago instead of wasting 'our' money by keeping him in prison.
