An obsessed murderer left a nurse terrified after climbing through her bedroom window and telling her he wanted to "lick her all over".
Mark Towell had been released from prison a month earlier after being convicted of murder in 2002 and was on life licence when he entered the woman's home on September 11, last year.
When still a teen, Towell had lived across the street from the woman in Birtley and had "developed an obsession" with her while incarcerated.
