‘My father killed mum in 1985 - he still won't say where she is’
For 38 years, Sam Gillingham has lived with a question tearing at her soul: how did her father kill her mother in 1985 - and why won't he say what he did with the body?
She heard her father speak thanks to an important change in the law last year. When an offender is convicted of murder, their mandatory life sentence comes with a minimum term set by the trial judge.After those years have been served, the offender can apply to the parole board to be released on licence into the community. The Parole Board's duty is to decide whether the offender presents a danger to others. If the risks are low, the prisoner is released on a life licence.
When she finally heard him speak last December, it was on a video link from Lewes Prison in East Sussex. Causley began to tell a story of Carole's 1985 murder in their luxurious family home in Bournemouth.Image caption,In one previous version, he told a fellow inmate that he had gassed his wife. In a rambling confession of sorts that he sent to police in 2015, Causley said he had hit and strangled Carole. Last December, he changed the story again.
And as she listened over the hours that followed, she concluded her father was still trying to manipulate. "I think that there should have been somebody who was actually representing my interests, my mother's interests, in that public parole hearing. They haven't actually completely taken into account what it would feel like on a victim side to listen to what I listen to."
