Campaigns - Anne Mings explanation
The campaigning mother was left furious after she found her daughter’s mutilated body hidden under the bath at her home and set out on a fight to bring her daughter’s killer to justice.
Dunlop twice stood trial for the killing in 1991 but was not convicted. He was arrested in prison for another crime, but due to the double jeopardy rule meaning you cannot be trialled for the same case twice. he bragged about her murder in prison while in there for another crime, but couldnt be trialled due to this 800 year law.
However, Mrs Ming’s dogged determination was rewarded after Dunlop’s prison confession to the brutal killing was used against him and he was finally brought to justice.
