Parole Hearing for Double Jeopardy Killer Billy Dunlop Postponed

Ministry of Justice delays decision as new information emerges, frustrating victim's family

William 'Billy' Dunlop was convicted in 2006 for the 1989 murder of Julie Hogg after double jeopardy laws were overturned.
The parole hearing was delayed at the last minute due to new information presented by the Ministry of Justice.
Dunlop's case is notable for being the first conviction under the revised double jeopardy law.
Julie Hogg's mother, Ann Ming, who campaigned for the law change, expressed her frustration at the delay.
The parole board will reschedule the hearing to review whether Dunlop can be moved to a lower security prison or released.
