The parole board have signed off on the release of Snowtown murder accomplice Mark Haydon, after determining he has a low-risk of re-offending.
His 25-year prison term comes to an end on 20 May, with requirements including electronic monitoring, regular reports to authorities, and a 9pm-6am curfew.
Ahead of his release, new laws were fast-tracked through South Australian Parliament to protect the public.
These laws will allow for extended supervision orders, including ankle bracelets and curfews.
Attorney General Kyam Maher says the new laws will keep a close eye on violent offenders once they’re released.
“If you’ve assisted an offence afterwards, or hindered a police investigation, you will automatically be defined as a high-risk offender and will be subject to these additional supervisions in the community,” Mr Maher says.
