Parole law change will ‘make sure this never happens again’

Victoria’s premier says the government has moved to change parole laws so a case similar to Jill Meagher’s murder does not happen again.

Adrian Ernest Bayley was on parole for other rapes when he raped and murdered Ms Meagher last September, the Victorian Supreme Court has been told.

Bayley, aged 41, of Coburg, had also been jailed for three months for recklessly causing serious injury but had lodged an appeal and was on bail awaiting his appeal when he killed Ms Meagher.
