The parents of a nurse killed by her ex-boyfriend while he was out on bail are one step away from changing the law on granting bail.
The parents of a nurse killed by her ex-boyfriend, whilst he was out on bail on charges of repeatedly raping her, are a step closer to changing the law to allow prosecutors to appeal against decisions to grant bail. Jonathan Vass was sentenced to thirty years in jail for stabbing Jane Clough in the car park of the hospital where she worked in July 2010. Several months earlier he'd been charged with raping her nine times, including whilst she was heavily pregnant with their child. Jane Clough's parents Penny and John Clough have been campaigning for a change in the law ever since.
