was deemed an “acceptable risk” to the community when he was released from prison two years early, it has been revealed.home Thursday morning before fleeing to his property in Innaloo and dying from self-inflicted injuries.
It has since emerged that Noormets, 33, was previously convicted for his role in a brutal abduction that saw the victim doused in petrol, set on fire and later waterboarded during a drawn-out torturing.The former Rebels bikie nominee was sentenced to a seven-year stint behind bars but was released 24 months early after the Prisoners Review Board determined “that your release would present an acceptable risk to the safety of the community”.
In making its decision, the board pointed to Noormets having completed a medium-intensity general offending program, his extensive participation in voluntary programs that demonstrated a motivation “to address your offending behaviour”, and that he had no previous history of violence.The board said parole conditions further reduced any potential safety risk to the community.
