The Board must comply with this paragraph when making a public protection decision about a prisoner if—

a

the prisoner's sentence was passed for manslaughter;

b

the Board does not know where and how the victim's remains were disposed of; and

c

the Board believes that the prisoner has information about where, or how, the victim's remains were disposed of (whether the information relates to the actions of the prisoner or any other individual) which the prisoner has not disclosed to the Board (“the prisoner's non-disclosure”).

2

When making the public protection decision about the prisoner, the Board must take into account—

a

the prisoner's non-disclosure; and

b

the reasons, in the Board's view, for the prisoner's non-disclosure.

3

This paragraph does not limit the matters which the Board must or may take into account when making a public protection decision.

In this paragraph, in relation to a prisoner—

  • “public protection decision” means the decision made—

    1. a

      under paragraph 6(2) for the purposes of paragraph 6(1),

    2. b

      under paragraph 15(4) for the purposes of paragraph 15(3), or

and a reference to the victim's remains being disposed of includes the remains being left at the location where the victim died.
