So despite him being [denied parole before for this very reason](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-59074801) this lot have claimed that „Denial [to reveal the victim’s body’s whereabouts] cannot be a bar to release.“
Hopefully the MOJ can appeal the decision and successfully.

Shocking… I’ll probably get banned if I say anything else so I’ll leave it at that.

All they have to do is follow home around for a bit. Probably not too far outside the usual monitoring of parolees. He’s bound to pop by for a visit sooner or later.

Piece of shit scum. Some of these rulings are fucking baffling sometimes.

If a convicted killer refuses to say where their victim’s remains are thats a clear lack of remorse and failed/incomplete rehabilitation, there’s no way he should be getting parole.
Our justice system is a joke.

what if he’s claiming innocence?
it’s not mentioned explicitly in the reporting here – but it feels like it would be one of those circumstances where you can’t then get parole unless admitting guilt the consequences of which would be guilty people would end up getting treated more leniently than innocent people who by being innocent would by definition be unable to tell authorities where a body would be.

I’m with the MoJ and victim’s family on this one. It completely shits all over the legislation designed to stop precisely this and will likely set a precedent for it being effectively worthless.

Hope the government steps in here. This is a joke. Not justice at all

If you don’t tell them where the body is until 19 years into a 20 year minimum tariff of a life sentence, ya don’t deserve parole still lmfao

Jfc, how do you only get 16 years for murder?
Fuck danger to the public, there has to be punishment involved in sentencing otherwise it’s just an insult to those directly affected by fucking murder

The board said its decisions were „solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk was manageable in the community“. I will never not fundamentally disagree with this proposition. It removes any focus on justice, frames the decision to release people who have committed the worst crimes as a purely logistical and mechanistic one, and allows for obviously agregious decisions like this to be made.
