The family of a five-year-old girl who was throttled to death and molested have been left horrified after finding out her killer is living unsupervised near schools and childcare centres.
Tim Kosowicz was 22 when he strangled Chloe Hoson and suffocated her with two shopping bags after she entered his caravan to play with a kitten in Lansvale Caravan Park, Sydney's west, in 2003.
He then abused the five-year-old's lifeless body, stuffed her in a duffle bag and dumped her in a nearby creek, but managed to avoid a conviction because he told psychiatrists that voices told him to kill and was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
