The sons of a woman who stabbed to death a paedophile who abused them says they are glad she stopped him targeting other children.
Sarah SandsĀ killed Michael Pleasted in 2014, weeks after discovering he had betrayed her friendship to abuse her three boys.
When she befriended him, she and her other neighbours had no idea he was a paedophile who had changed his identity. Pleasted, 77, had 24 previous convictions forĀ sex offencesĀ over three decades and had served time in prison for his crimes.
After discovering the abuse, Ms Sands knifed Pleasted eight times, in a ādetermined and sustained attackā, that left him bleeding to death, and later handed herself into police.
Now, after serving nearly eight years in jail, she is spearheading a campaign for tighter restrictions on sex offenders who change their names.
