David Harker, 51, is denied parole for the ninth time following his 1998 murder of Julie Paterson in Darlington. Multiple reports say Paterson, a mother of four aged 32, was killed in 1998, and that only some of her remains have been recovered. The outlets also state that Harker previously described details of the killing and his treatment of her remains, including claims that he ate parts of her body with pasta and cheese. Each source refers to the parole decision as a further refusal at a hearing, and notes this is the ninth occasion he has sought release. The reports do not indicate a change in the underlying facts of the case since earlier parole attempts, but they consistently highlight the unresolved aspects of the evidence, including the incomplete recovery of remains, alongside Harker’s reported account of the crime. The coverage therefore focuses on the latest parole outcome and the continuing factors cited in relation to the seriousness of the offence and the circumstances described by Harker.
