Council Places Convicted Rapist/Murderer Into The Same Housing They Use For Battered Wives.  What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
But don't worry.  He's been moved over concerns for his safety

Barry George, who served 8 years for the murder of  TV actress, Jill Dando, and who has other convictions for attempted rape, indecent assault, and stalking hundreds of women, was never-the-less placed by a council into the same building as that which is housing battered wives, as part of  a Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangement meant for supervising violent and serious sex offenders.

"It is mainly full of single mums on the waiting list for a council home. They want to be somewhere they feel safe ...”


A Women's Aid spokesperson called it "absolutely appalling,"  and went on to say, "These women should be put first and that does not seem to be happening."

The council has relocated him due to complaints but also because they were concerned with George's safety.

George was ultimately acquitted of the murder when the court found inconsistencies in the prosecution's case although he was recorded admitting to the murder whilst in jail.
