How very sad that another young woman has been murdered. When will this violence against women stop. When will adequate policing be provided to Surrey?

This man should NEVER have been let out. NEVER. No anklet monitoring him, nothing. Breached his conditions,showing no interest in abiding by the law.
Insanity is defined by doing the same thing over and over again with the same bad result. The conservatives claim to be tough on crime, but I’m not seeing it. If they were, this wouldnt happen.
