Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 12:32 · Archive

A man convicted of killing a woman and refusing to disclose where her body is has lost an appeal for release.

A man convicted of killing a woman has lost an appeal after refusing to cooperate with searches for the victim's body. Previous professional assessments of the killer, identified as Turner, noted a 'lack of empathy, a lack of remorse or guilt, and conning and manipulative behaviour'.

The denial of the freedom bid follows the offender's continued refusal to assist authorities in locating the victim's remains. The assessments appear to have been considered significant in the decision to reject the release application.
