Officials did not think he was suitable for release but felt a period of time in open prison could be “helpful and safe”. There had been no evidence of “violence, sexually inappropriate behaviour or substance misuse for many years”, his behaviour was “generally positive” in prison and his maturity had “increased”.
He has since shown a “significant shift in his understanding of his own behaviour and the impact on other people” and took “full responsibility” for the offence. “His attitude towards women had been problematic and he had an interest in sexual violence.”ĭunlop also found it “difficult to understand the impact of his behaviour on others.”ĭuring his time in custody he had completed “intensive therapeutic and offending behaviour work” over a number of years focussing on his “personality issues as well as his thinking and decision-making skills, relationships and intimacy, the factors which specifically underpinned his sexual offending, and his misuse of drugs and alcohol”, the papers said. He had “difficulties with relationships, thought about sex a lot, and felt entitled to sex. Parole Board judges found that at the time of his offending, Dunlop had a “willingness to use extreme violence” fuelled by alcohol, drugs and his friends, a document detailing the decision said. In his second Parole Board review Mr Dunlop, who gave evidence at a hearing alongside officials and his probation officer, did not ask to be released but indicated he hoped to be transferred to an open prison. He was then jailed for six years for perjury and afterwards charged with the murder again once the law changed. He was formally cleared but later confessed and admitting lying in court, boasting there was nothing anyone could do about it.

The court heard Ms Hogg was “subjected to a violent sexual assault” after she rejected Dunlop, who was branded by the Crown Prosecution Service a “dangerous killer” who tried to escape responsibility for a “premeditated and truly horrendous” attack.ĭunlop twice stood trial but each time a jury failed to reach a verdict. The partially mutilated body of the mother, who had a three-year-old son, was discovered decomposing behind a bath panel. Ms Hogg’s disappearance in November 1989 was initially treated as a missing person inquiry until she was found by her mother 80 days later. It is now for the Secretary of State to decide whether he accepts the Parole Board’s recommendation.” “However, on considering the criteria for recommending placement in open conditions, the panel recommended that Mr Dunlop should be progressed in this way.

The Parole Board said: “After considering in detail the circumstances of his offending, the progress made while in custody and the very full evidence presented at the hearing and in the dossier, the panel was not satisfied that Mr Dunlop was suitable for release. But the Justice Secretary, who can block such moves, must decide whether he approves the plan.
Now the Parole Board has recommended Dunlop, 59, be moved to an open prison – a lower security jail where he could be granted temporary release on occasion. Billy Dunlop was jailed after eventually admitting killing Julie Hogg in 1989 (Cleveland Police/PA) (PA Archive)
