BBC NEWS 24 141 08 Aug 13:59/25 ************ ************************** * *** *** ** ************** ************ ************** 5/7 COUNCIL HELPS FREED KILLER FIND HOME Social workers are helping a convicted killer, who walked free because of a legal loophole, find a home.
Noel Ruddle, 44, shot dead a neighbour in Glasgow with a Kalashnikov in 1991 but was released from a mental hospital because his condition was untreatable.
The decision was criticised as he is still deemed a danger to the public.
But Surrey County Council has agreed to find him a home in the county so he can be near his mother.
