The heartbroken family of murdered Claire Chick have been left horrified after finding out her estranged husband is locked up in a low-security prison - just two months after he was convicted of stabbing her outside her home.
Paul Antony Butler, 53, killed the university lecturer, 48, in a frenzied attack in Plymouth in January this year following a six-month campaign of stalking when he refused to accept their relationship was over.
The former doorman is now holed up at HMP Aylesbury - a Category C jail where lags can take podcasting lessons, attend book clubs and three quarters spend more than eight hours a day out of their cells.
Now Ms Chick's eldest daughter Bethany Hancock-Baxter has condemned Butler's situation as an 'egregious oversight' as she shared her horror at the news.
In a petition - which has now topped 17,000 signatures - she is now hoping to put pressure on the government to mandate all murder convicts be sent straight to Category A jails.
