An obsessed killer left a nurse horrified after climbing through her bedroom window and telling her that he wanted to "lick her all over".
Mark Towell had been released from prison the previous month after being convicted of murder in 2002 and was on life licence when her entered the woman's property on September 11, 2021.
When he was still a teenager, Towell had lived across the street from the woman in Birtley, Gateshead, and had "developed an obsession" with her while incarcerated, Chronicle Live reports.
