A MUM whose daughter was murdered 15 years ago believes the killer should not be given parole unless he discloses what he has done with her body.

Linda Jones, who lives in East Tilbury, has said she agrees that Helen’s Law, which is being discussed by politicians in the House of Commons, should become law.

This would see killers ineligible for parole if they refuse to tell police where they have hidden their victims’ bodies.

Mrs Jones’ daughter, Danielle, 15, disappeared without a trace on the morning of June 18, 2001.

Danielle’s body has never been found, despite her uncle, Stuart Campbell being convicted of abduction and murder on December 19, 2002.

Campbell was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder as well as ten years for abduction.

Mrs Jones said: “I fully support Helen’s law.

“He will become eligible for parole at some point but he does not deserve his freedom.

“Not knowing where her body is is the hardest thing for me.

“It is hard every day, and it is her birthday this week.

“He has robbed us - like anyone else in our position - not just of a loved one and memories of her but of not being able to bury her.”

She added that it was callous and unnecessary for Campbell to keep the information from the family.

Mrs Jones, and her husband Tony, have not visited Campbell in prison.

She said the family will be told if he becomes eligible for parole and they would fight the application.

She added: “I think it is the control he wants to have over the family which is why he won’t tell us where her body is.

“We are kept up to date yearly with how he is doing and apparently he is not progressing through the prison system which means it is unlikely he will be eligible for parole.

“In one way that pleases us, but in another way it doesn’t - it is a vicious cycle.

“It should be a case of tell us where her body is, or don’t come out.”

The family has a memorial garden at St Clere’s School, in Stanford-le-Hope, which they visit on her birthday and anniversary of her disappearance.

Helen’s Law is named after Helen McCourt, who was abducted and killed by Ian Simms in 1988 near Wigan.

Simms has never disclosed what he did with her body.
