In 1989, Julie was murdered by William “Billy" Dunlop when she was 22 years old. It was later discovered that Billy strangled Julie in Billingham, Teesside and hid her body behind a bath panel. Coming soon to ITV...Sheridan Smith stars as Ann Ming in I Fought The Law, a powerful new drama exploring one mother's unwavering fight for justice. Earlier this year, the government stopped Billy from moving to an open prison despite a recommendation by the Parole Board. Billy had initially hoped to be released into the community, but withdrew this application last year and said he would be better suited to open prison conditions.
