A PAEDO who bludgeoned a boy of 11 to death has won a legal battle that could see him freed.
Dominic McKilligan was 18 when he snatched Wesley Neailey and dumped his body in woods nearly 26 years ago.

Since serving the 20-year minimum term of his life sentence, he has been denied parole three times after experts ruled he was manipulative and a pathological liar.
McGilligan, now 44, has now been granted a personal Parole Board hearing after taking his case to the High Court.
Wesley’s furious mum Liz, 57, told The Sun: “He should never be let out.
“When he has his hearing, I want to be in the room too so I can tell everyone exactly how he has destroyed my family.
“He is a deceitful, evil monster and monsters deserve to be behind bars.
“Some people don’t deserve a second chance and he is one of them.”
Wesley, of Newcastle, went out on his bike in June 1998 but never came home.
Amid a huge search, it emerged McKilligan — convicted of abusing boys in 1994 — lived nearby.
He eventually admitted the lad’s death, claiming it was an accident but was convicted of murder.
Det Supt Trevor Fordy, who nailed McKilligan, said: “He is highly intelligent, very articulate, very convincing and he showed no remorse whatsoever.
“He is a wicked man.”
