Terrence Leary attacked a woman at a bus stop just 10 months after he was released from prison on parole for murdering a 17-year-old in her bedroom.
The family of a teenage girl wept in court as her killer was granted parole for a second time, a decade after he tried to rape another woman at knifepoint on a Sydney street.
Leary, then 46, tried to rape a 30-year-old woman at a bus stop at Hunters Hill, on Sydney’s lower north shore. He had earlier finished a shift at a meat-processing factory, followed the woman, put his arm around her neck and dragged her behind the shelter. He snapped her belt as he pulled her jeans down to her ankles and stabbed her. When she screamed, he told her to be quiet.
“The release of the offender is inevitable,” Bellew said, adding that Leary would be on the strictest conditions. “The alternative is to keep the offender in custody and release him at some later point in time, either with a shorter period of parole supervision, or at the end of his sentence with no period of supervised parole at all.”they understood the authority’s decision, but believed Leary would reoffend.
Vanessa Hoson’s father, Keith, fought Leary’s release on parole for the murder of his daughter for years.Leary dialled into the parole hearing from a green-gray room in the minimum security prison, Kirkconnell. For most of the hearing he rustled papers, only his shining bald head and bushy grey eyebrows were visible.
