An evil serial domestic abuser who strangled a pop star's daughter before going on the run from an open prison is making a fresh bid for freedom.Terry Game, 54, murdered Lisa Sullivan, 41, whose father Lennie Peters was one half of the chart-topping 1970s duo Peters and Lee, in August 2005.The violent thug has served the minimum term of his life sentence and could be released if the Parole Board finds he no longer poses a risk to the public.Game's new bid comes four years after he sparked a nationwide manhunt by disappearing from HMP Leyhill, an open prison in Gloucestershire.Game was allowed out on temporary licence in August 2022 but failed to return.He eventually handed himself in at a police station in Cambridgeshire after four days on the run.His disappearance raised questions about why a murderer with a long history of violence against women had been allowed out of prison. Lisa Sullivan (pictured) was the daughter of Lennie Peters who was one half of the chart-topping 1970s duo Peters and Lee. She was murdered in August 2005 Ms Sullivan's killer Terry Game (pictured) has served the minimum term of his life sentence and could be released if the Parole Board finds he no longer poses a risk to the publicGame was jailed for life in March 2006 after strangling the mum-of-three during a family holiday at the Martello caravan park in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex.An argument began on the beach during the day and flared up again that night.Game attacked Lisa, hitting her before wrapping his hands around her throat and strangling her.He then fled in her car, leaving her three sons, aged 11, four and two, at the caravan.Her eldest boy made the horrifying discovery of his mother's body and dialled 999.He told the operator: 'My mum's cold and there's no air coming out.'Game later claimed Lisa had insulted his performance in bed and attacked him during the row.He insisted he had only grabbed her throat in self-defence.But a jury rejected his account following a two-and-a-half-week trial at Basildon Crown Court.The court heard that Game had a long history of attacking women, with two former partners giving evidence against him.An NHS investigation into his background, published after the murder, revealed that he had been in and out of prison since the age of 18.His previous offences included assault, affray, burglary and car theft.Medical records dating back to 1996 described his violent temper, rows with his wife and episodes of 'smashing up the place'.In 2001, a doctor warned that he should not be seen by a lone worker, particularly a woman.Two years later, his baby son was placed on the child protection register because of concerns about emotional abuse.Game was referred for anger management classes, while a former partner later fled with their child to a refuge because of his domestic violence.The NHS inquiry criticised failures to carry out regular risk assessments and share information between services, although it did not find that these failings had caused Lisa's murder.Sentencing Game, Judge Philip Clegg described him as a bully who had strangled Lisa in a fit of rage.He said: 'I am quite certain that on the evening in question, Lisa Sullivan was the victim of domestic violence.'The judge added: 'It must have been all too obvious that she was fighting for her life but nevertheless, driven by rage, he continued to do so.'Detective Superintendent Simon Dinsdale, who led the murder investigation, praised Game's two former partners for bravely giving evidence against him.He warned: 'Game is a bully and will always be a danger to women.'Lisa's former husband later described her as a caring woman who adored her children.He told the independent NHS inquiry: 'The way my wife was killed no one should have to go through.'Lisa's father Lennie enjoyed huge success with singer Dianne Lee, reaching No1 with Welcome Home in 1973.The blind star died of cancer in 1992, 13 years before his daughter's murder.
