Inquiry into why a mass murderer was released with a new identity.
in 1978, Barry Williams went on a rampage shooting which resulted in 5 people dying. In 1994, he was released back into society with a new identity and in October last year was arrested for possessing an arsenal of guns, bullets and explosives in his home.
I feel this should never have been able to happen, risking people's lives with this mans dangerous past. His victims paid the price with their lives. He should never have been released.
I want an inquiry on who was responsible for letting this dangerous man back out into society and how was it possible for a mass killer to serve only 16 years. a change in the law is needed to stop this happening again. Someone needs to be held accountable for this decision which has been proven to be a wrong one that could have cost more people their lives.

Why is this important?
people should not be put in danger by having dangerous criminals living in their neighbourhood with new identities. New identities should be to protect witnesses, not criminals. The law needs to change to prevent this happening again.
