Why were these men free to kill (TRIGGER WARNING RAPE AND MURDER)

This is a truly horrific story.

Why were these men free to kill (TRIGGER WARNING RAPE AND MURDER)

But if you want to avoid the horror or reading it, just know two murderers were released and murdered again.

Both murders men, at least two of their victims women. When will male violence be addressed?

How does this keep happening?

I wonder if the fact their first two victims were elderly means (as far as I know their first two victims). Is there some sort of bias in sentencing, or any other factor?

"Unwin had been released on licence in December 2012 having battered a pensioner to death during a break-in on Christmas Day 1998 in Houghton-le-Spring.

The fire he started to cover his tracks meant the victim could only be identified by his medical records.

McFall was released on licence in October 2010 after killing a pensioner with a hammer when she disturbed him breaking into her home in Carrickfergus in May 1996."

Anyway, I can't make sense of this, how was it decided that these men safe to go back into society?

”But the bodies keep coming”

OMG, this is what really depresses me, grinds me down, it really does. I started 'counting dead women' in the UK a long time ago, switched to AU when I moved back here. Am also in contact with the woman who single-handedly(!!) does the woman count in the US.

The bodies keep coming.
They just don't stop. And that grinds all of us down. No one really does anything significant to stop the femicides. I really do cry some nights, even though I know none of the victims personally. They are still my sisters. None of them deserved this. And it just won't stop.

I have taken a four month hiatus, after over a decade of doing this 'body count', for personal reasons. But I know I have to resume it again. It's not just a count though. I get involved with these women's stories, I get angry, I get sad, I get depressed doing it. It does take a personal toll, but that still won't stop me - until the killings stop.
