But O’Reilly knows that this makes Woolf more dangerous, not less dangerous.”It would appear that Mark Woolf is determined to do his own thing, and this has been the pattern of his behaviour from the start,” says O’Reilly. Only the most high-risk cases are referred to these special panels.Maurice O’Reilly, a senior Kent probation officer, is chairing the meeting that will decide the management of Mark Woolf. He begins by telling the panel that when Woolf leaves prison, he will not be subject to any statutory probation supervision This means that Woolf can go about his life unhindered. Some of these offenders are known to be very dangerous, but until they commit another offence, they are free to live anonymously in the community.

If they get it wrong or misjudge the risk, Woolf’s next victim may not survive the attack.A protection panel will have to make a similar assessment should Ian Huntley ever be ready to return to society. Under a provision for high-profile cases, another panel, in a different part of the country, will shortly convene to manage the release of Huntley’s former girlfriend, Maxine Carr. Carr, whose greatest danger is from the public, is one of 52,809 offenders who have been deemed to need special handling by the new public-protection arrangements that came into force two and a half years ago. At Kent Police headquarters in Maidstone, a specialist group of detectives, probation officers and social workers is meeting to finalise a plan that they hope will curb the threat that Woolf poses to girls in his community These are extremely high stakes. His questioning quickly becomes more direct as he attempts to unsettle the girl so that she will let him lead her out of the familiar safety of the centre. Within half an hour of their meeting, the girl will have become the victim of a serious sex assault.
Woolf, 23, is a predatory paedophile who has been convicted of a string of sex offences, some involving violence In a few weeks’ time, he’ll be released from prison. He befriends them in shopping centres, asking for directions and then engaging them in seemingly innocent conversations.

But she had kept her extra-curricular activities secret from colleagues and the revelation of her second job sent shock waves through the academic establishment.It was in 1972 that Dr Page married Dr Christopher “Kit” Harrisson. However, the relationship was stormy and she eventually left the marital home in Mile End Place, Aberdeen, and bought a flat in Allan Street.At first Dr Page had tried to conceal her new address from her estranged husband and she had to apply for a court order to keep him away after he discovered where she was living.The interim interdict for their divorce stated that Dr Harrisson had been violent, aggressive and threatening during their marriage, and on or around the day of their divorce in October 1977 he had gone to her flat and threatened her life.”He followed her round everywhere,” a close friend and colleague Jessie Watt told the crime programme “I think she found it very stifling. He was a bit obsessive about her.”Dr Harrisson, who lives in the Dutch town of Leiden, has refused to answer questions about the death of his former wife.So far police have refused to confirm or deny if Dr Harrisson still forms part of the inquiry except to say that investigations are still going on.. Mark Woolf likes young girls. Unknown to her friends and colleagues, the 32-year-old was supplementing her academic income by accompanying wealthy businessmen on dinner dates.Now advances in forensic science mean that police have been able to re-test DNA samples taken from the crime scene and are only weeks away from submitting a report to the procurator fiscal which could finally solve the mystery of who killed Dr Page.Renewed interest in the crime prompted by a Grampian Television series, Getting Away with Murder, has provided detectives with fresh information and, with results of new forensic tests expected within days, police are confident they will be soon be able to identify the killer. “We have the original stains and marks taken from the crime scene,” said a spokesman for Grampian Police.
