A dangerous criminal was released from a life sentence because his human rights were put before protecting the public, an official inquiry said yesterday.
Nine months later Anthony Rice strangled and stabbed Naomi Bryant 15 times.

Rice should never have been allowed out of jail but obtained legal aid to engage a lawyer to argue for his freedom.
The Parole Board - in deciding to let him out - and the Probation Service - which should have closely monitored him in the community - took undue account of his human rights, fearing legal action against them.
Rice, 48, who is serving another life term for the murder, had a long history of sexual assaults on women and children. He killed Miss Bryant, 40, last August after serving 16 years in prison for attempted rape and other offences.
more good done for civil rights NOT!!
