William Dunlop, 63, told the panel he felt 'euphoric' after strangling Julie Hogg, 22, in Billingham in 1989 and concealing her body beneath a bath panel. He now says he 'cringes' at the 'selfish' man he was. Julie's son Kevin told the hearing that 'time isn't the great healer it's reputed to be'. Three justice secretaries have already rejected Parole Board recommendations that he be transferred to an open prison.
Julie's mother, Ann Ming, discovered the body and spent 15 years campaigning to change the law.
Kevin recalled 'the pungent smell of my mother's decomposing body' from his childhood.
A panel led by retired judge Nicholas Coleman will weigh 990 pages of evidence.
