Calls for 'no body, no parole' legislation to be introduced nationwide

Families of murder victims want all killers in Australia to never be eligible for release from prison if they don't reveal the location of a victim's body.

Following the passing of a new law in South Australia that denies any chance of parole to convicted killers until they disclose such information, a nationwide campaign has begun to replicate the legislation across the country.

Queensland widow Fiona Splitt is still waiting for her killers to reveal where they dumped the body of her husband after he was murdered more than three years ago.

"In 2015, two people were charged with his murder and sentenced to life but they've never told me where he is and I need to be able to bring him home," Ms Splitt told A Current Affair.

Stephen Struber and his partner Dianne Wilson-Struber were found guilty of Bruce Schuler's murder.

Unless the law changes, they could be eligible for parole in 15 years.

"They refuse to speak, basically. They have never revealed to anyone, as far as I know, where Bruce is," Ms Splitt said.

As a result, Ms Splitt has launched a petition lobbying Queensland lawmakers to introduce 'no body, no parole' legislation, similar to that passed in South Australia.

"We need this closure. We need to know we can bring him home," she said.

Simon Hutchison knows the pain that Ms Splitt is going through.

His mother, Gail Lynch, was murdered three years ago by her former partner, Ian Phillip Hannaford.

Despite Hannaford being behind bars, Mr Hutchison is yet to bury his mother.

Mr Hutchison is also lobbying the Queensland Government to adopt the South Australian legislation.

"It's like a horror story every day," Mr Hutchison told A Current Affair.

"It will never stop until she is found."

Retired police officer John O'Gorman says the only thing worse than losing a loved one is being unable to bury them.

"If someone has murdered somebody, then they have done unspeakable damage to a family's fabric," Mr O'Gorman said.

"Deny that family the opportunity to lay their loved one to rest in a dignified, respectful way is an affront to the very fibre of our society and our decency, let alone any sense of fairness."

Ms Splitt's petition has already received more than 5000 signatures.

It closes on January 7 and can be accessed via the Queensland Parliament e-petitions website.
