[Joanne Tulip was 29 when she died
at the hands of farm worker Stephen Ling,
who was jailed for life with
an 18-years minimum tariff in 1998]

['The Government is supposedly committed
to halving violence against women and girls.
If they are true to their word then they
will block this recommendation
and will keep Ling in a closed prison.

'They must do everything they
can to ensure women and girls
are kept safe from this sadistic man.
I just hope and pray the
Justice Secretary takes this on
board before considering any
Parole recommendation for
Ling’s release into the community.

'If Ling is released and the Justice Secretary
does not take action,
there will be public outcry and confidence
in the justice system will be severely damaged
and will never be restored.'

Ling was jailed for life and ordered
to serve at least 18 years before being
eligible for parole after Ms Tulip's brutal
murder at his home in 1997.

The Parole board has now recommended
he is safe for release after hearings in July.]


He must not get out
Evil Rapist, Killer

Well no, it would be more desirable for him to not be released.

However, he was sentenced to life with the order to serve at least 20 years.
Then I believe later around 2008/9 he had the order of at least 20 years reduced to 18.

That means he's served 27 years.
So within the law, he's eligible to be released and 9 years over the term directed.

Awful crime but no matter how unsavoury it is, he is eligible and over the time, to be granted parole.
Let's hope he's really kept under rigid supervision once out.
Awful for the family of his tragic victim.

great that the person who took a life and lived (because he was the aggressor) gets eventual justice

the murdered persons family

get none

Well it's good to see that this country is learning it's lesson to not release dangerous criminals who are a danger to the public, specifically women in this case.

It's good to know that bigger crimes such as Drug dealing, petty Theft, and Fraud are being treated more seriously.

Oh well, at least he wasnt one of those dreadful right wing rioters
