During his trial, Moore told the jury the crimes were committed by a fictitious homosexual lover he nicknamed "Jason" after the killer in the Friday the 13th horror films. The jury found him guilty on all counts.
During his time in Wakefield Prison Moore befriended Harold Shipman, the serial killer and former General Practice who hanged himself in January 2004.
In June 2008, Moore was told by the High Court that he would spend the rest of his life in prison. On 3 March 2011 Moore challenged the ruling in the European Court of Human Rights, with a view to having his sentence quashed and such sentences outlawed throughout Europe.
However, on 17 January 2012 it was announced that his appeal had failed. On 9 July 2013, it was announced that the European Court of Human Rights had ruled there had to be both a possibility of release and review to be compatible with human rights.
On 13 October 2011 it was falsely reported that Moore had died at Broadmoor hospital on 30 July.
