THE killer of a Failsworth pensioner is back behind bars after testing positive for cocaine and breaching the terms of her licence.

Sarah Davey served 14 years in prison for the brutal murder of 71-year-old Lily Lilley in 1998.

The 29-year-old was arrested and taken back into custody in Merseyside on Thursday night after cocaine was found in her system during a routine drugs test.

She had been living in Crumpsall, just two miles away from the scene of the killing before she moved to a bail hostel in Liverpool, where she has been saying for the past two weeks.
