Case closed on Dante Arthurs sex assault police blunder

A police bungle whilst investigating an earlier attack on another child by Dante Arthurs meant the prosecution dropped their case due to lack of evidence.  Three years later, Dante Arthurs would lure, attack and murder Sofia Rodriguez-Urrutia-Shu in a toilet at a Perth shopping centre.  Her body was discovered by her brother who went to look  for her.  Arthurs was sentenced to life in 2007 and eligible for parole after 13yrs.

The CCC inquiry found that police made ``an honest error'' in failing to forensically test Arthurs' blood-spattered shorts after he was charged with indecent assault and deprivation of liberty over the incident.
The police escaped any disciplinary action, which just seems bizarre given that it's their responsibility to perform their job and associated tasks in a competent manner.  They clearly haven't done that.

Dante was sentenced to life but will be eligible for parole after 13 years, so from todays date that will be in 10 years time.  Why such a short period for parole for such a heinous crime?  This monster will be free and the authorities will try to settle him somewhere in our community.  I hope he gets as much crap as paedophile Dennis Ferguson is getting atm.
