Russell Causley, who killed his wife Carol Packman in 1985, will become the first prisoner to face a public parole boarding hearing.
An application for the next hearing to consider his release to take place in public has been granted by the Parole Board. Causley. now 79, was handed a life sentence for killing Carole Packman a year after he moved his lover into their home in Bournemouth, Dorset.
He was freed in 2020, after serving more than 23 years of his sentence, but was returned to prison in November 2021 after breaching his licence conditions. Causley, who never revealed where he hid Ms Packman’s body, is next due to face the Parole Board for review in October.
