Sheffield Woman's Killer Turned Down for Parole
The board cited Turner’s lack of disclosure and risk factors, saying he should stay in prison to protect the public.
- On Wednesday, William Dunlop, the 63-year-old killer of Julie Hogg, appeared at a parole hearing where he admitted he would likely have committed further murders had he remained free.
- Following a 15-year campaign by Ann Ming, Julie Hogg's mother, the double jeopardy law was amended to allow retrials after two juries failed to convict Dunlop in 1991, leading to his 2006 murder conviction.
- At the hearing, he acknowledged feeling "euphoric" with "power" after the killing, explaining the murder stemmed from "entitlement and also the rejection, because I've never handled rejection very well at all."
- Julie Hogg's son Kevin told the panel he had "lost much" to Dunlop's "evil actions," while the Parole Board reviews 990 pages of evidence assessing his risk to the public.
- This marks his fourth parole application; previous recommendations for open prison transfers were blocked by three justice secretaries, leaving him incarcerated pending the panel's decision.
