Two days after leaving a mental health ward, Ryan Blacknell stabbed Ella Parker 33 times with a screwdriver at her flat in Milton Keynes.
He admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was detained under the Mental Health Act.
At the time, the judge said: 'He may never be released and if he is, it will be under the most stringent of conditions.'
Yeah, about that...
Blacknell, who was initially sent to Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital before being transferred to Oxford's Littlemore Mental Health Centre, was last week seen strolling alone to a nearby gym.
With a bag slung over his shoulder and wearing a Ralph Lauren baseball cap, puffer jacket and grey tracksuit bottoms, the 28-year-old arrived at the Pure gym around 11am on Wednesday and stayed for around three hours.
I've always said you'd have to be mad to pay money to exercise, but I didn't mean it like that!
As well as regular visits to the gym, Blacknell has enjoyed shopping trips to Oxford city centre to buy clothes and other items.
A source said: 'Blacknell does what he wants – gym, shopping, anything he likes. He's totally unsupervised.
'He also has a PS4 game console in his room and wardrobes full of clothes including Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss.
'The money he spends is from benefits. He receives well over £500 a month.'
That's just rubbing salt in the wounds for the victim's family, isn't it?
Too many psychopathic killers inside the NHS. Some will accidentally inject you with diamorphine (oopsy daisy) and others murder outsiders by proxy.

Sadly, they took it over long ago. And now they are expanding the franchise.
