Bad enough that the Government sees fit to give early release to killers, domestic abusers and other violent criminals. Three months later his bail was extended and on the same night he raped, beat and suffocated a sex worker, leaving her for dead. He murdered Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo in a partially disused tower block and five months later Sheryl Wilkins in a Tottenham car park. Meanwhile, the early release scheme begun under Sir Keir Starmer and now championed by Andy Burnham is compounding this loss of faith. Mr Burnham claims prisons are so overcrowded that the justice system would collapse without these early releases.
