It was a change by deed poll, so I imagine you're then summonsed under the new name?

Suppose changing names (even legally) and faking up some docs to show a history would allow Wiginton to continue on his career path a few years more.
BUT
- when it comes to sentencing the judge will be provided with his full history/rap sheet and previous name/s (assuming they may not have been slipped in by Counsel for the DPP during the trial) by Criminal Records Office.
The only factor which could screw that is a lack of coordination between Eire and the UK mainland. If you are an interested party or your friends have been victims - it's worth making it known to the police in Eire that there may be more offenses and that Wiginton's playground was also in the UK. (Tho chances are they know already).
