Terrorist Offenders (Restriction of Early Release) Bill

"I am grateful to the Lord Chancellor for giving way; he is being hugely generous. Does he accept that, while a lot of these people are terrorists and criminals, a significant number of them are clearly insane? The people who were in jail with the latest perpetrator said that that …..."

Terrorist Offenders (Restriction of Early Release) Bill

"I take this opportunity to reiterate my previous intervention. The suspicion is that there are gravely mentally ill people who are in prison when they ought to be treated as if they are criminally insane and held in a secure psychiatric unit. The concern is that people are being treated …..."

Terrorist Offenders (Restriction of Early Release) Bill

"I am very interested in my hon. Friend’s lucid speech and particularly in the fact that he says the sentence imposed by judges is meant to reflect the gravity of the crime. It does explain why so many victims feel short-changed when people are let out early. When we come …..."

Written Question
Reoffenders: Homicide
Wednesday 18th April 2018

Asked by: Julian Lewis (Conservative - New Forest East)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people previously convicted of (a) murder and (b) other killings have subsequently been convicted of carrying out additional killings after being released from prison in each year since 2010; and how many of those people had been serving (i) life and (ii) indeterminate sentences before being so released.

Answered by Rory Stewart

(a) The mandatory sentence for murder is life imprisonment. The number of offenders serving a life sentence for murder and, after being released, subsequently convicted of an offence or offences which resulted in death is in column (a) in the table below.

(b) The number of offenders serving a sentence for offences resulting in death (but not murder) and, after being released, subsequently convicted of an offence or offences resulting in death is in column (b) below. None of these offenders was serving an indeterminate sentence.

The numbers given in each column relate to the year in which the offenders concerned were charged with an offence or offences which resulted in death not the year in which they were convicted.

Year

a) Life sentenced prisoners convicted of murder or other offences resulting in death at both index offence and SFO

b)Other sentenced offenders convicted of offences resulting in death at both index offence and SFO
