法律改革- 杀人犯假释需有条件

本週自由党领袖 Matthew Guy宣布，如果维州自由党有幸再次当选，就会推动杀人犯假释的改革，其内容主要为如杀人犯没有提供有关受害人尸体的详细位置，则将可依法拒绝其假释。

当受害者遭凶手谋杀后，如尸体无法找到的情况下只会更增添受害家属和亲友心中的悲痛。 如凶手被定罪并收监受刑，但却不愿透露受害者尸体的位置时，这代表凶手内心并未真正反省改过，若如此则凶手更不应获得减刑与假释。

这次法律的改革将会让凶手在提供详细受害者资讯给警方前都禁止假释，而此次的新法也将适用于所有正在服刑与未来被判订有罪的所有犯案凶嫌。

No early release for killers who won’t say where victim’s body is

This week Liberal Leader Matthew Guy announced that if a Victorian Liberal government is re-elected, it will change the law so a convicted murderer cannot be released early on parole if they haven’t provided police with details of where the body of their victim is.

Where a killer murders a victim and the body can’t be found, that adds even more to the grief of the victim’s family and friends. 

If a murderer has been convicted and is in jail, and still won’t disclose where they have hidden the body, it shows they don’t have any true remorse and haven’t been rehabilitated, so they don’t deserve any reduction in their time in jail. 

This change to the law will stop any early release unless and until the offender provides police with full information about what happened to the victim’s body. The change will apply to those currently serving a sentence, as well as to future convictions.
