The mother of a woman murdered in 1997 said she was “worried and terrified” after the Parole Board refused to overturn its ruling that her killer should be released.
The board was asked by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood to reconsider its recommendation that farm worker Steven Ling should be released after serving 27 years of his life sentence for the murder of Joanne Tulip, 29, in Stamfordham, Northumberland.
