In May 2006, an inquiry by Chief Inspector of Probation, Andrew Bridges, highlighted how Rice was freed because officials placed his human rights above protecting the public. 'Feelings are strong'
He said there were "substantial deficiencies" in the way Rice was supervised by probation and other officials in Hampshire. On Monday, resident Mark Greenshield, who runs the White Horse pub in Otterbourne near the ex-offenders' hostel, called for to be pulled down.
A report stated the parole board had placed an "increasing focus" on Rice's human rights rather than on protecting the public. Mr Greenshield said: "The place is a holiday camp and I say pull it down.
"Feelings are strong in the village especially after the Anthony Rice case when lots of people went to a meeting in the village hall.
"There are some old guys who have lived there for years and everyone knows them in the village and they are OK, but it's the younger ones who go down to the garage, buy booze, get drunk and abuse people from the village.
"I would feel safer living next to Broadmoor.
"At least they are kept locked up whereas this lot can come and go as they please."
