Freed killer says brother

- By Ciaran Fagan

A MAN who murdered two women has been released from prison, but remains a threat to the public, says the brother of one of his victims.

Paul Bostock was 19 years old when he was jailed for killing Caroline Osborne, 33, and Amanda Weedon, 21.

Amanda’s family say they learnt recently that Bostock, 53, has been released, but they do not know where he is living, or whether he has been given a new identity.

They remain convinced he should not be free.

Amanda’s brother Martin, who lives near Loughborou­gh, Leics, said: “He is out, but we don’t know where and I have no idea if he’s changed his name. Our honest belief is that he remains a danger to the public.”

Bostock murdered Caroline in Leicester, in July 1983 – stabbing her in the neck and chest.

Then, in April 1985, he attacked Amanda, stabbing her 37 times in the neck, chest and thigh.

Bostock admitted both murders at Leicester Crown Court and was given mandatory life sentences in June 1986.

The Parole Board, which cleared Bostock for release, wrote to the families late last month to confirm he had been granted his freedom.

He will remain under licence and

Mr Weedon added: “You try to avoid being consumed by anger, but it’s always there – we just don’t believe this man should be out.” this, him
