It also went international because Jill was Irish and it was widely reported in British and Irish media.

Your right about that. She was the sweet and good natured look about her. I have an Irish friend in Ireland did mention about her even though I did not tell him about it so it must have been much known over there.
With the sweet and good natured look it reminds me of the case of the nurse Anita Cobby and there was a massive community outrage after her murder in the 1980s. Due to the outrage these murderers will never to be ever released as there were new laws were introduced after Antia Cobby death where very violent criminals will never be released.
