WARNING: Distressing content A man who brutally attacked a NSW Police officer with a brick 15 years ago in Kings Cross has been released from prison despite officials admitting he is a high risk of re-offending. Roderick Holohan bashed then-sergeant Samantha Barlow over the head while she was walking to work in Sydney’s Kings Cross in May 2009. She sustained a fractured skull, broken nose and neck injuries, and endured 22 months of extensive rehabilitation.
“All the matters raised were given significant weight by the Authority in the balancing exercise that it must undertake. “The Authority has come to the view that the community safety is better protected by monitoring this offender on a very lengthy period of supervised parole with strict conditions to manage his reintegration and reduce his risk of reoffending.
