A sadistic killer behind a Boxing Day rape and murder is back behind bars seven months after he was controversially released.
Mark Richard Lawrence, 59, was let out on parole from Brisbane Correctional Centre in May after 36 years.
He was jailed in 1983 for strangling Julie Anne Muirhead, 29, and slashing her throat and kept locked up indefinitely under dangerous prisoner laws since 2008.
After a dozen attempts, the Queensland Supreme Court ordered his release in April and state Attorney-General Yvette D Ath declined to appeal.
But not even a year from his release, Lawrence was arrested by police on a warrant to protect the community from dangerous sex offenders and sent back to jail.
