A DOUBLE murderer jailed for life after brutally killing his partner and his brother has been warned he might never be freed.

Peter Duffy must serve at least 30 years in prison before he can be considered for release following the murders of Emma Baillie, 26, and John Paul Duffy, 51, in 2022.

A judge told him: "Depending on the question of risk, you may never be released." Lord Scott told him: "Both your victims were vulnerable and were known by you to be vulnerable.

"The murders occurred within a short time of each other, almost exactly two years ago. You stabbed both of your victims and Emma Baillie was also throttled.

"Even after you murdered them your victims were shown no respect and afforded no dignity. Instead Duffy left them to decompose.
