Like a recidivist that he is, one of Damilola Taylor's killers is back to where he seems to belong: the prison. He was sent to prison for a third time Wednesday after he was arrested for another crime.
Ricky Preddie, 25, was taken into custody after police found a stolen motorbike at his bail hostel in Richmond, Surrey.
Preddie was first jailed for eight years in 2006 after he and his brother, Danny, stabbed 10-year-old Damilola in the neck with a broken bottle as he walked home from the library in Peckham, south-east London.
The schoolboy bled to death in 2000, in a case that shocked Britain, and now his killer has been linked with an £800 red Suzuki motorbike taken in a burglary, five months after he was last released.
Damilola's father, Richard, 64, expressed his fury at the depressing 'prison merry-go-round' linked to his son's death.
“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,” he said.
Taylor said Preddie and his brother should be hanged, saying the last time Ricky was released in January 2012: “He has not served enough time behind bars for what he did.
