Family's distress at release of convicted killer and sex offender

On a night in 1990, 17-year-old Vanessa Hoson was bludgeoned to death in her home.

After serving 22 years in jail, her cold-hearted killer Terrence John Leary was granted parole in 2012.

But 10 months later, he grabbed a woman off a Sydney street, stabbed her and tried to rape her.

After struggling with police, Leary was arrested and locked up again - this time for 11 years.

Now he has been released from prison and Vanessa's sister can't understand why he wasn't sent away for the rest of his life.

Watch the full story in the video above.
