Delroy Denton (born c. 1961) is an illegal immigrant to Britain from Jamaica who, while a paid informant for Scotland Yard, raped and murdered 24-year-old trainee beautician Marcia Lawes in 1995. After his arrest and conviction, the fact that he was an informant for Scotland Yard despite having been denied asylum in Britain and being wanted in Jamaica in connection with the murders of seven women (including a prostitute who was stabbed with an icepick) lead to a change in the way such police informants were handled.
