Stalker who slit ex girlfriend's throat and stabbed her 50 times will soon be back on the streets Bootle native Alan Daulby was convicted by a Spanish court in July 2012 of murdering 20-year-old Avril Flanagan, from Ireland, at his Costa Blanca flat three years after her body was found.
The now 35-year-old spent three hours using a mop and bleach to wipe up blood, showered, changed his clothes and tried to stuff her body into a suitcase.
When that failed, he wrapped Avril in an old duvet and plastic sheeting and left her body under his couch where it was discovered by her horrified mum, Barbara Flanagan.Despite the overwhelming pain, Barbara was able to take a small crumb of comfort in the belief the monster who brutally took her daughter's life would be locked up for 19 years - near the maximum sentence in Spain at the time.
But yesterday - on the eve of the 11th anniversary of Avril’s 2009 murder - she was left feeling “sickened and cheated” to hear Daulby was being released from a British prison on licence in October.'He still poses a danger'
Barbara, who divides her time between Spain and Swords, County Dublin, described how she only found out by chance last year that Daulby had been transferred from a Costa Blanca prison to a UK jail.
She said: “I’ve been told by a liaison officer in England that the law stipulates he serves half his sentence in prison and the other half in the community on licence and the jail sentence imposed in Spain cannot be increased.
The time he spent in prison on remand has been taken into account, meaning he will have served just over 11 years of his sentence by the time he is released.https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/stalker-who-slit-ex-girlfriends-throat-and-stabbed-her-50-times-will-soon-be-back-on-the-streets/ar-BB14K800?ocid=spartandhp
