Another review will be held to decide whether Snowtown serial killer James Vlassakis should be released on parole.
Vlassakis was the youngest of four perpetrators convicted for his role in the notorious “bodies-in-the-barrels” killings, which rocked Australia at the turn of the century.
Last year, South Australia’s Parole Board granted Vlassakis release on parole. However, he has remained in custody after SA Attorney-General Kyam Maher requested a review of the decision.
Parole Administrative Review Commissioner Michael David KC later blocked Vlassakis’s release, but the Court of Appeal today ruled Mr David fell into jurisdictional error.
Vlassakis will remain in custody until another review by the newly-appointed Parole Administrative Review Commissioner, former Supreme Court Justice David Lovell, is carried out.
