Pradeep Sivanesan was jailed after he attacked his victim before taking him to a park in London, dousing him in petrol and setting him on fire.

The now-37-year-old, was jailed for murder and later released on licence but has failed to stick to the strict conditions.

He was ordered to serve a minimum of 15 years for the murder in 2003 and was later released on licence.
