David Tiley may not be Britain’s most infamous killer but he will never see freedom again. Why? Because the last time the authorities released him from prison he went on to savagely end the lives of two women. Fourteen years ago, in 2007, a manhunt got under way for Tiley after he was linked with a double-murder in Southampton. A criminal deemed by police and social workers to be low-to-medium-risk on his release from prison in 2001 was now very much regarded as “extremely dangerous.” See this issue’s “Crimes That Made The Headlines: Rapist Released Early – To Murder Two Women” for the full story.
