Couple prayed for daughter’s killer

The parents of one of the victims of serial child killer, Robert Black have said they prayed for the murderer, who died in Maghaberry Prison in Co. Antrim last week. In 2011, Black, originally from Scotland, was convicted of the 1981 abduction and murder of nine-year-old Jennifer Cardy from Ballinderry in Lisburn, Co. Antrim. “There was no way that I wished for Robert Black to die,” Mrs Cardy said, explaining she had no “bitterness to see his life come to an end”.
