Freed double killer Brian Whitelock, 57, was not recalled to jail despite three incidents where he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and attacked police in the weeks before he killed for a third time Prosecutors say he was under the influence of alcohol and diazepam before he killed kindly neighbour Wendy Buckney, 71, who believed in second chances and helped Whitelock On 1 August 2022, the Welsh Ambulance Service was called after Whitelock 'slipped and hit his head on a tree'. She was killed with a kitchen knife, broken table leg and and wooden shelving during a sustained assault in her own home Whitelock was seen leaving Ms Buckney's home wearing only inside-out boxer shorts and covered in blood Jurors in Whitelock's trial heard he moved in opposite Ms Buckney in the village of Clydach, near Swansea, and she wanted to help him get his life back on track. The Crown Prosecution Service said medical evidence disproved Whitelock's claims he killed Ms Buckney due to a brain injury – an excuse he only raised in May this year, 21 months after her murder.
