Kieran Loveridge walked free from Broken Hill prison on Friday. An angry Ralph Kelly says the family were kept in the dark about his behaviour in jail during a final parole hearing.

Blindsided. That’s how Thomas Kelly’s bereaved father Ralph described himself at the end of the parole process that resulted in his son’s killer Kieran Loveridge walking free from Broken Hill prison late on Friday and the NSW government scrambling for answers about how the family was treated.

Now, Ralph Kelly says they were denied basic facts about their son’s killer’s that became apparent during the final parole hearing.“They left it until the end of the parole hearing to tell us . That is a major concern, that four weeks ago he was intoxicated and violent,” Kelly told this masthead from London, where he and his wife Kathy are now based.

“We should’ve been given the verdict from the private hearing. We were blindsided, we walked in with no idea what restrictions would be imposed,” he said.some matters could not be communicated to families for privacy reasons, but had tasked his department with “looking into this particular parole matter, including the support provided to the Kelly family”.
