Father cleared of murdering his sex offender son

"F's lifestyle as a drug dealer, drug abuser and convicted sex offender meant he had built up a number of enemies over the years.

He owed money to drug dealers and at one stage his parents had to clear a £2,000 drug debt.

He had also been threatened by paramilitaries who trashed his home when he lived in Lurgan and forced him out of the town.

Before his death, complaints of historical sex abuse had been made to the police against F.

Around this time he had received threatening phone calls and text messages.

F had been fearful for his personal safety."

Nearly 50,000 criminals spared jail offend again within a year: MPs claim 'shocking' figures show failure by probation officers

"Convicts including violent thugs spared jail committed another offence

Tory MPs have said figures show a problem with the probation service

Justice Secretary announced plans to tackle entrenched reoffending

"Around 50,000 criminals who were spared jail went on to commit another crime within a year, figures revealed yesterday.

The convicts – including violent thugs, burglars and drug dealers – were handed community service or a suspended jail term, leaving them free to commit new crimes.

Within 12 months, a total of 49,636 offenders who were not put behind bars were convicted of another offence. Had they been jailed, they would have been unable to offend again."

"Tory MP Priti Patel said: ‘These are quite shocking figures. They demonstrate the true extent of reoffending. ‘There is clearly a problem with the probation service which is not working well to deal with this issue."
