‘HE SHOULD HAVE DIED IN PRISON’: ‘MONSTER’ WHO MURDERED DISABLED GIRLFRIEND GRANTED PAROLE

A “monster of a man” who murdered his disabled girlfriend has been granted parole.

Dean Williams, 62, strangled Mary Malkin at a flat in Invicta House, Margate, in 2005.

He had previously been arrested for hitting the mum-of-two, but after convincing her to leave a women’s refuge, he attacked her again.

Williams then slept beside Mary’s body before calling the police the next day and chillingly saying: “Someone’s strangled my girlfriend.” He was originally locked up for life with a minimum term of 20 years, before appealing his conviction due to new evidence regarding his mental state and being found guilty of murder once again in 2014.

The domestic abuser, who used to beat Mary and hide her prosthetic leg, has been eligible for parole since 2023.

Following an oral hearing this month, the Parole Board deemed him eligible for release, and he will soon be walking the streets.

Mary’s sister, Franky Dillon, says she will be contesting the decision.

“I fully intend to appeal on the grounds of his previous abusive behaviour and the hell he put his exes through, including beatings and strangulation,” she said today.

“He is a monster of a man who should have died in prison.”
