FREED Killer Of Nigerian-Born Schoolboy Damilola Taylor JAILED AGAIN! Stint No3 For Shameless Thug Ricky Preddie

Out ... Ricky Preddie on bail during release in 2010

ONE of schoolboy Damilola Taylor’s killers has been recalled to prison for the THIRD time.

Shameless Ricky Preddie, 25, was nicked over a stolen motorbike found at his bail hostel in Richmond, Surrey.
The father of tragic Damilola slammed a “prison merry-go-round” after Preddie was recalled to jail yet AGAIN.
Richard Taylor, 64, hit out after learning Preddie had blown another chance to go straight.

Victim ... Damilola Taylor was ten

Preddie, who had previously breached parole conditions twice, was put back behind bars after being arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods.
He was first jailed for eight years in 2006 along with his brother Danny, now 24, for the manslaughter of Damilola, ten.
The brothers stabbed the youngster with a broken bottle in Peckham, South East London, in 2000.

Anger ... dad Richard Taylor

Mr Taylor said: “Preddie has proved he cannot be rehabilitated. He should now stay in prison. If he had been jailed for life for killing my son in the first place, we wouldn’t have this prison merry-go-round.”

2006 ... Sun story on brothers' jailing

Preddie had lasted just five months on early release when he was nicked at his probation hostel.
A court heard cops found him in possession of a red Suzuki motorbike worth £800 which had been taken in a burglary nearby.
Preddie appeared before magistrates on Monday dressed in a smart grey Barbour jacket and brown combat trousers — and with a large bandage over his left ear hacked off in a jail fight.
He pleaded not guilty to handling stolen goods and will stand trial next month in Wimbledon, South West London. Preddie was first freed after serving half of his sentence in September 2010, and banned from his old haunts. He was recalled in March 2011 after breaching his parole.
In October 2011 he was due to be released again but beat up a fellow lag and blew his chance.
He was let out in January 2012 but lasted 16 days before again violating his parole by visiting areas he was banned from and mixing with old gang mates. He fought with 20 cops who turned up to cart him back to jail.

2012 ... killer's second breach of his parole

He was released again in July 2012 after the Parole Board rejected calls for him to serve every day of his original sentence.
Police said he was charged with the latest offence in December.
Defence counsel Rosemary Ollenson made no bail application when he appeared before South Western Magistrates’ Court in South London.
Magistrate Mrs Amanda Otway said: “Your trial date is February 6. You are going to be remanded in custody until that date.”
Damilola, who had moved to Britain from Nigeria only a few months before he died, was attacked by the Preddie brothers walking home from a library.
Danny Preddie was released in 2011 and is thought to have stayed out of trouble since.
The Ministry of Justice said: “The re-release of serious offenders is directed by the Parole Board. They will be subject to controls and if they fail to comply they can be returned to prison.”
