Lisa Dorrian family says 'no body' murderers should receive at least 20 years

The family of Lisa Dorrian have said murderers who do not disclose the location of victims must serve at least 20 years imprisonment.

Joanne Dorrian, sister to Lisa Dorrian, who vanished during a party on the Ards Peninsula at a caravan park in 2005, spoke to Ards North Down councillors last week, urging support on her response to questions posed by the Justice Minister Naomi Long in the consultation for 'Charlotte’s Law'.

She told the council’s Corporate Committee that murderers who do not disclose where the remains of their victims lie must have their crimes re-categorised, must serve at least 20 years, and should receive a one-off period of 18 months at the beginning of their sentence to disclose the location for a sentence review.
