He will try to convince them he is fit to be sent to an open jail, paving the way for his release in around 18 months.

He has served his 35-year minimum term for the 1987 Bristol murder of newlywed Shirley Banks.

The serial rapist is prime suspect for the murder of Suzy, who vanished aged 25 in 1986 after going to meet a house buyer in Fulham, West London.

But the CPS ruled in 2002 there was insufficient evidence to charge Cannan, of Birmingham — who is also suspected of killing Bournemouth insurance clerk Sandra Court, 26, in 1986.

Jim Dickie, who led the re-investigation into Suzy’s murder said: “Cannan should never be freed.

“He is a serial predatory sexual offender and killer and continues to be a danger to every female."
