MP backs 'Helen's Law.' It would stop killers being released if they refuse to help find victims.

Killers who refuse to reveal where the body's of their victims are located should never be released from prison that's the view of a Labour MP who's urging other MPs to back his stance later today.

Conor McGinn wants a change in the law to deny killers who withhold that information the chance of freedom an issue he's raising in the House of Commons.

But it comes after the campaign for a 'Helen's Law' reached more than 343,000 signatures on change.org.

It is named after murder victim Helen McCourt, who was abducted and killed by Ian Simms in 1988 near Billinge, near Wigan.

Helen McCourt's killer, Ian Simms, has never revealed where her body is located. Simms, a former pub landlord, was convicted by overwhelming DNA evidence of the murder.

But he never admitted what he did or disclosed the whereabouts of Helen's body. She was 22 when she died and ever since her mother, Marie McCourt, has campaigned for a change in parole terms.

Simms' application for release from prison has been turned down but the Parole Board in February recommended that he be transferred to an open prison.

Ahead of the Commons debate, Ms McCourt, who's now in her 70s, said the pain of her daughter's murder will "never ease until I can give her the dignity of a funeral".

She will be joined in the Commons public gallery by at least five other affected families.

Mr McGinn said the change was needed to stop victims' families being "dropped into hell" by not knowing where their family member has been buried.McGinn's 'Unlawful Killing (Recovery of Remains) Bill' will be brought forward under a Ten Minute Rule motion, meaning it is unlikely to proceed without Government support.
