The first murderer imprisoned following an historic reform to the 800-year-old double jeopardy law has told a parole hearing he believes he would have committed further killings or severe acts of violence had he remained free, but claimed today "I totally get" the pain endured by his victim's family.
William Dunlop, who is now aged 63, strangled 22-year-old Julie Hogg at Billingham in County Durham in 1989, before hiding her mutilated corpse behind a bath panel inside the property.
