A former Metropolitan Police officer convicted of historic sexual offences, Paul Lamb, has passed away in prison, according to a recently released prison report. Lamb, aged 74, was serving a 17-and-a-half-year sentence after being found guilty of 19 sexual offences that occurred during the 1970s in London and the 1980s in Yorkshire.
Lamb, who was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after his arrival at HMP Hull, died just one year into his sentence. The report sheds light on the circumstances surrounding his illness and subsequent death.
