Convicted sex offender Dominic McKilligan killed schoolboy Wesley Neailey
Dominic McKilligan, a paedophile who murdered an 11-year-old boy while he was a teenager, has been denied release by the Parole Board. The convicted sex offender, now 44, killed schoolboy Wesley Neailey in Newcastle in 1998 and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1999.
McKilligan was not eligible to be placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register because his sentence, a three-year supervision order, ended one day before the provisions of the 1997 Sex Offenders Act came into force. Previously described in local authority reports as a danger to children, McKilligan went on to befriend the 11-year-old and attacked him at the garage of his home in Wingrove Road, Newcastle, less than a mile from Wesley’s house.
A spokesperson stated: "We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board refused the release of Dominic McKilligan following an oral hearing. The panel also refused to recommend a move to open prison.
