Sentence: Prudom committed suicide when the police finally found him on 4th July 1982.
Interesting facts: Despite the police searching hard for Prudom, he continued to disappear following each murder, for over a week. Finally he was tracked down with the help of a survival expert, Eddie McGee.
The night prior to his discovery, Prudom had spent his time in the home of elderly Mr and Mrs Maurice Johnson and their son. He had tied them up and held them captive for the evening, but later untied them. Throughout the night, he apparently confessed to everything he had done in the previous fortnight. At 5am the following morning, he left their house, and was found later that day in a wood close to their home.
