Man who brutally attacked his partner is being released and she is told to stop campaigning to keep him inside

I remember this 2011 case when it happened, and was shocked by the brutality. He blinded her in a vicious attack.

She wasn't told that his release had been approved until the deadline had passed for her to object.

She claims probation officers guilt tripped her over her campaign to keep him inside.

Tina has also set up a petition against his release which has already been signed by more than 11,000 people.
But instead of applauding her efforts to raise awareness, Tina claims probation chiefs 'told her off' for speaking out about her case with one asking her 'don't you feel sorry for him, putting this on his head?'
She said: 'When they said that to me I felt confused - I have every right to speak out and I don't want this to be brushed under the carpet. I don't want this to happen to anybody else.'
The Probation Service is currently investigating Tina's complaint about the comment and the staff member involved is understood to deny using those words. Tina has since decided to sever contact with the Probation Service.

Emailed. Adapted it slightly as identical email tend to be treated less seriously.

RufustheFactuaIReindeer · 10/03/2025 08:12

Anyone who does what he did to Tina should never be allowed out

its as simple as that

In the US some states stream their parole hearings.

It’s truly eye-opening. People who were sentenced for over a 100 years can have a review in 4 years or less.

Commentators also describe the local politics and frank corruption that lead to some outcomes.

We need more Open Justice and streaming in the UK.

Terrifying. What she needs to do is move far away and change her name. I would be glad to help her do this but am not in the UK. Does anyone know if there is a domestic abuse underground railroad operating in the UK?
Home security is not nearly enough.

It must be a terrifying prospect for Tina to know that her attacker will soon be released. But why should she have to move away and change her identity? She currently has a vital support network for her and her family and is living in her familiar surroundings. It should be the perpetrator who should be restrained from going anywhere near her area. He wouldn't see the light of day if it was my decision. This was more than GBH and why he was not convicted of attempted murder I do not know.

The point is that criminals don't even get locked up for life when they commit murder these days. But I agree he should be banned from living or going into an area at least 50 miles from her home and should wear a tag for the rest if his life miles from her. But I understand why she doesn't want him released.

Dear Shabana,

I implore you to cancel the decision to release Shane Jenkin, who viciously gouged out the eyes of Tina Nash.

He is a danger both to Tina Nash, to other women, and to society at large.

He has been assessed by criminology experts as potentially being a psychopath, and should be re-evaluated as such.

Please reconsider this decision.

Regards

[your name]

Thanks so much for this.

The link from the petition site to the CF does not seem to be working. How can this man ever be deemed suitable for release? He is playing the system for sure.

GailBlancheViola · 09/03/2025 23:28

The Labour promise of reducing violence against women and girls and here we have this absolute monster up for release and not only that he is in an open prison currently.

It truly beggars belief.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 09/03/2025 22:26

That's brilliant @Pickupapen, thank you!

Thanks for this. I've signed the petition, emailed and donated. He's such an animal, that I chose to donate anonymously. I have an unusual name and wouldn't want that man to even be able to read it.

If he strikes fear into people who read about him, I can't even imagine how Tina must feel at the thought of his release.

She is an amazing woman, to speak out and raise awareness. I hope that they will return him to secure prison.

Yes, there is a petition and a crowdfunder for home security, linked in the article. She's terrified of him.

God, it's hardly surprising, given the depravity of his assault on her. I'd be bloody terrified in her situation. The Probation Service has behaved terribly, even if they "only" forgot to inform her in time.

How long will it be before he harms another victim? I damn well hope he is made the subject of one of those orders where he has to tell the Police, if he intends to speak to a woman.

BunfightBetty · 09/03/2025 19:01

How on earth has this psycho been deemed suitable for release? Whichever eejits did so need an almighty kick up the jacksy.

Signed the petition. I feel so sorry for Tina. I can’t imagine what she must be feeling.

mrshoho · 09/03/2025 18:47

I just signed the petition and read his long list of prior brutal attacks. It also states he has been violent towards an inmate whilst serving his sentence. I feel sick that someone in the justice system has deemed him safe to be released.

Cheepcheepcheep · 09/03/2025 18:42

Thank you so much for sharing this, I’ve signed the petition.

GailBlancheViola · 09/03/2025 18:41

I remember this case too, it haunted me. I cannot believe that they are even contemplating releasing him.

Msmoonpie · 09/03/2025 18:35

“the staff member involved is understood to deny using those words”.

Ofcourse he did. They always do.

Petition is on change.org

Laura Richards, feminist criminology expert is supporting her, and quoted in the Mail interview:

Laura - who helped keep child killer Colin Pitchfork behind bars - said: 'Based on everything I have assessed he has an extreme lack of empathy and no fear of the consequences. I believe Jenkin is most likely a psychopath.
'He has no moral code whatsoever and there is a real risk here. He has just said the right things to tick a box and move closer to release but if my assessment is correct he will never be safe to be released.
'If he is a psychopath the risk assessment is flawed and if he is released he will harm somebody else, I have no doubt about that.
'The Parole Board must take the safety of future victims into consideration.
Tina has been failed spectacularly by the police, probation and everybody. She was told he would be in prison for life.
'Her case is precedential because she survived something most people wouldn't. Throughout the court case he always blamed her and she is now much more vulnerable because she is blind.'

Ms Richards, who analysed Tina's case in her podcastast*_, has urged Brits to write to Labour Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood demanding she reverse Jenkin's downgrading until he's tested for psychopathy.^

What has possessed the authorities to believe this man no longer poses a risk to Tina and to the general public? It's really worrying that he is now in an open prison and preparing for release.

This is not justice for Tina who at his hands was brutally attacked and permanently blinded. The fact that she is having to make arrangements to increase her own security is shameful.

Dervel · 09/03/2025 17:35

What the absolute fuck?! I really do despair of the world sometimes.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 09/03/2025 13:27

I know, it's ridiculous. He's a danger to Tina, and to any other woman he gets involved with.

vividly remember reading about this case at work and practically crying with rage

It's really not one you forget.

It isn't.

How the fuck did they decide this...thing is no longer a danger to women?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 09/03/2025 13:11

So there is something else we can do, write to Shabhana Mahmood as Laura Richards suggested.
