Kieran Loveridge, the man who killed teenager Thomas Kelly in a “cowardly and unprovoked” one-punch attack in 2012 that sparked Sydney’s lockout laws and forever changed the city’s night-life, has been released from prison after 11 years.
Kieran Loveridge , who killed Thomas Kelly in a “cowardly” one-punch attack in 2012 that sparked Sydney ’s lockout laws , has been released from prison.
“It’s hard to believe that the state parole authority think that he won’t be a risk to the community — or a low risk, as they say,”“Given that he had an outburst on the 27th of February it shows that he is still the same person that he was 12 years ago.”Kathy Kelly added, “ not just an outburst. He was drunk in prison and was aggravated. We’re talking a month-and-a-half ago — and we weren’t aware of that when we put the submission forward saying that we supported the parole.
Loveridge’s non-parole period expired in June last year, but his previous release was knocked back by the parole authority. The court was told Loveridge complied with a behavioural management program, explaining the conduct as a “consequence of heightened anxiety due to his impending release and the potential media publicity that such release may bring about”.
“He was only 14 years old when Tom was killed … our family may never find forgiveness for Mr Loveridge. We continue to grieve every day for our two boys … we have been handed a double life sentence.” As positive progress had been made in custody, Justice Bellew said Loveridge would be released between April 18 and April 25.
