An Oxford university student who brutally murdered a woman in the grounds of Harrow public school, is being prepared for release after serving just 11-years in a secure hospital.

William Jaggs, 34, an ex-drug addict, was sent to Broadmoor high security mental hospital in 2007, after he admitted stabbing fashion student, Lucy Braham.

But the former Harrow schoolboy - who recently began cross-dressing and changed his name to Gillian - has now been allowed out of his secure unit for regular shopping trips as part of a phased release.

At his Old Bailey trial the court heard how Jaggs became obsessed with Miss Braham, 25, who lived just a few doors from him in the grounds of Harrow, where both of their fathers were teachers.

He killed her in a sexually motivated attack after forcing his way into her home, stabbing her 66 times.
