The mum of tragic Libby Squire has warned MPs her daughter’s assassin will kill once more if he is ever launched.
Lisa Squire mentioned Pawel Relowicz should spend the remainder of his life behind bars. He is at the moment serving a life sentence with a minimal time period of 27 years for raping and murdering Libby, 21, in 2019.
Before murdering Libby after she’d been on an evening out in Hull, Relowicz had carried out a string of intercourse offences together with indecent publicity and voyeurism. Mrs Squire mentioned these convicted of those crimes ought to get harsher punishments, stating they’re at the moment given a “slap on the wrist”.
She instructed members of the cross-party Home Affairs Select Committee: “Two hours after raping and murdering our daughter he was out on the streets looking for a second victim. He got life with a minimum of 27 years. He was 24 when he killed Libby. He’ll come out and do it again.
“So in my opinion if you murder you should stay in prison for the rest of your life.” She referred to as for harsher sentences for these convicted of intercourse crimes like indecent publicity, and therapy for offenders to cease them doing it once more.
Mrs Squire mentioned: “It needs to be harsh. It is a slap on the wrist for the majority.” And she continued: “I think that if a man is caught and prosecuted it should be a fairly harsh sentence. He also needs treatment because we need go to treatment services to unpick what his thought patterns are to make him think that it’s okay to do that to a young girl walking down the street minding their own business or waiting at a bus stop.
“It’s no good to only preserve punishing folks except they study that what they’re doing is improper.”

And she referred to as on people who find themselves victims of non-contact intercourse crimes to all the time report them. Describing Relowicz’s behaviour earlier than Libby’s homicide, Mrs Squire mentioned: “Each occasion I could see a link between his offending and the eventual rape, the murder of my daughter.
“And over the 18 months previous to her dying, he had escalated massively and no one appeared to know something about it.” She added: “Not all non-contact sexual offenders will go on strike for homicide, however some do. And to me, if we will cease it right here we will save ladies and women from absolutely the trauma of being raped.”
She said that when she speaks to groups of young women, around 75% will have experienced non-contact sex offences, but very few report them. Mrs Squire said Libby had been a victim in the November before her death.
“She was completely livid and I talked her down,” she said. “I did not assume to inform her to report it as a result of I did not know higher then.” She described indecent exposure as “a criminal offense of intimidation” and a “crime of entitlement”, adding that most “regular imply do not do it”.
