The family of a teenager, who was strangled to death by a man who offered to walk her home, have slammed her murderer's release.
James Duggan was convicted of murdering Rebecca Ryle in 2006 after meeting her at a pub in Perth, Australia when he was a teenager. Duggan, who emigrated to Australia from Liverpool, offered to walk Rebecca, another ex-pat, home on May 5, 2004, and then strangled her for more than three minutes in a park just metres away from her home.
Duggan, now in his 30s, left his victim's half-naked body in a field which was found by police a few hours later. During the court case, Western Australian Supreme Court, Justice Lindy Jenkins described the crime as "bizarre" when she jailed him for a minimum of 11 years and six months.
