illers who refuse to reveal where they hid the body of their victim could still be freed despite the introduction of Helen’s Law which is aimed at denying them parole.
Helen’s Law, which is officially called the Prisoners (Disclosure of Information about Victims) Bill, will not bar the release of killers from jail if they do not reveal where they hid their victim’s body.
However the bill, which gained royal assent last month and is due to come into force next year, will make it a legal requirement for the Parole Board to consider this factor when deciding if a criminal is safe to be released.
