Exclusive: Mother's fear as rapist and killer who could be freed from jail next year will not be on the sex offenders' register because of legal loophole
Stephen Ling murdered Joanne Tulip in a horrific attack at his home in Stamfordham, Northumbria. He stabbed her 60 times before carving images including swastikas and crosses into her body.
"That's when my campaigning started. I just thought, this is ridiculous. So, I campaigned for that to try and get the rape back in court, but no. Years and years of writing letters and banging away, and didn't get anything."He could be living on your street, and you wouldn't know he's a sex offender."A judge told Ling at the time of his sentencing he will "never be released so long as it is thought you constitute a danger to women".
"Somebody was brutally murdered and sexually assaulted and there is evidence that this the case, for them not to be tried and therefore not on the sex offenders register and there being no mechanism to rectify that or test that, I think people hearing Doreen's case would be astounded that they aren't being tried."
