The distraught family of a teenager who was strangled in Australia have blasted a decision to release her murderer, calling him a 'monster'. Rebecca Ryle was 19 when she was killed by evil James Duggan in 2004 after her family emigrated to Australia from Harwood, Bolton.
It's now been revealed Duggan, who had also emigrated from the UK, was released from prison on March 11 this year - almost 18 years on - and is due to be deported back to the UK. Rebecca's brother said he found it 'horrific' the British public would now be 'subjected to him' and that he's been allowed to 'start afresh', adding: "He doesn't deserve the opportunity to start again. He stole a life."
Duggan, who hailed from Liverpool, was convicted in 2006 of murdering Rebecca, a former pupil of Turton High School in Bolton, after meeting her at a pub in Perth, Australia, that night when he was 20, reports The Liverpool Echo.
