IT was one of this country’s most shocking teen murders – young mum Samantha Madgin, brutally knifed 43 times by a 15-year-old girl she’d never even met.
And now her savage killer is back on our streets, has issued a stark warning: “She’s a ticking time bomb.”

Pretty Samantha was just 18 when her first night out with pals following the birth of her son Callum ended in her bloody murder.
In a drug-fuelled frenzy, knifed Samantha to death, inflicting 43 cuts including 10 deep stab wounds, with the fatal blow piercing her heart.
Jobson, high on cocaine and booze, had armed herself with a kitchen knife after hearing some of her pals had got into a bust-up on the streets of Wallsend, North in the summer of 2007.
She came across Samantha, who wasn’t involved in the altercation, and launched her deadly attack before fleeing the scene.
Jobson was eventually caught and the baby-faced murderer was handed a 15 year prison sentence, which was reduced to 11 years after two separate appeals.
She was first eligible for parole in 2018 but ruined her chances when she reportedly threatened another inmate during her stay locked up at HMP Askham Grange in .
Then she scuppered a second chance of freedom in 2019 when she failed to comply with conditions after she was allowed out on day release.
In 2020 the parole board released her, but she was back behind bars just six months later after breaching her licence conditions.
Now a new documentary, Britain’s Killer Teens, on Crime+Investigation, has revealed Jobson’s back on the streets again after quietly being released in 2022.
And in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Samantha’s mother Alison and sister Carly Barrett fear she could strike again.
Alison, 60, said: “She applied for parole five times. It shows she didn’t think she should be in prison serving that sentence.
“It shows she couldn’t give a s**t. She couldn’t care less. If she had any remorse she’d say, ‘I hold my hands up, I’ll do my time’.
“She didn’t even plead guilty, she tried to say it was self defence. She has no understanding of the destruction she’s caused our family.
“She’s been released and recalled twice. I don’t believe anyone like that can change and it’s been proven given she was recalled to prison.

“I think she’s a ticking time bomb, especially if she’s using .”
Carly, who was just 16 when her sister was killed, added: “We all know what goes on in prisons and because she’s shown no remorse, ever, how could she have got to a point where all of a sudden she’s sorry for what she’s done?
“It’s always in the back of my mind if she was to hurt someone else, because in a way I would feel responsible for that because I could not stop it.
“Sadly, I do not think justice is often served.”
‘Tortured’

As well as appeals and multiple parole attempts during her time behind bars, Samantha’s family feel they’ve continually been tortured by Jobson since 2007.
They have been repeatedly contacted by her friends online, have been shown her “arrogant” antics on Facebook and were even verbally abused by Jobson’s prison pals when they visited HMP Newton Hall to try and block one of her parole attempts.
Carly, 34, said: “We actually had to go to the prison, and although we did not see her, people shouted verbal abuse at us from windows when we were taken through a small yard.
“They were her friends, they were basically supporting what she’s done.
“There’s been a couple of times where I’ve had some contact from friends of hers. I never respond, I just sent the messages straight to our family liaison officer.
“I just think to allow that to happen, I don’t think she’s changed, especially from some of the things she’s posted on Facebook.
“She is out of prison now. I have heard she lives about ten minutes away.
“At first I feared bumping into her, maybe even in the supermarket. I remember thinking, ‘What if I see her in the same aisle as me?’.

“It does always stick in my head, ‘Will there be a moment we cross paths, and how will I react?’ I think until it happens, I won’t know.”
Despite the continued torment, Alison, who has raised Samantha’s son Callum, who was just 10 weeks old when his mother died, says she’s faced a daily battle not to give in to hate for the sake of her grandson.
She said: “To be honest, I keep that box closed. I’ve seen families destroyed by the anger and hatred, they just can’t cope.
“I think having Callum to bring up kept me from going there, I had to give him the happiest life I could. If I let that anger out, it would destroy me.
“Sometimes I see her face in photographs, my stomach churns and I feel physically sick. But I have to not concentrate on that. It would destroy you, what can you do about it?
“What I can do is make sure she knows we are still talking about Samantha, we’re still fighting people like her, because they should not be on the streets.
“I focus on keeping Samantha’s name alive, I’m her voice.”
‘Blood on their hands’
Alison and Carly have been awarded MBEs for services to the prevention of knife crime
Alison and Carly run ‘Samantha’s Legacy’ to raise awareness of by visiting schools and youth groups to share their story.
And in June the pair were appointed s in the ’s Birthday Honours for services to the prevention of knife crime.
They have yet to have the ceremony to collect their honour but hope the moment will shame the Government into action to help reduce Britain’s growing .
And Alison believes ministers have “blood on their hands” for letting it spiral out of control.
She said: “I hope it shames the government to do more. It’s been the time for them to step up since the day we lost Samantha.
“I’ve been talking about this for 18 years now and look how much they’ve let it escalate.
“When Samantha was killed it was a murder. Now it’s called knife crime, we’re desensitised to it. It’s so regular, it’s every week.

“I believe the government has blood on its hands for letting it get this bad.
“Even though it’s now, I don’t want to hear excuses about previous governments.
“Do something about it now. Let’s see you step up.”
Carly added: “My mum always says until it happens to someone in power, one of their kids is killed in a knife crime, they will not understand.
“I sometimes feel judged when I say my sister was murdered in a knife attack, people instantly think she must have been in a gang.
“She was not in a gang, she was not with the wrong crowd. She was just walking home, in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“I think many politicians still assume knife crime victims are involved in criminality or live in the wrong place.
“They judge you, but they could not live a day in our shoes.”
Tragically, Alison lost her eldest child, son Lee, to sepsis following an operation on his foot and ankle in May 2017. He was just 31, and a dad-of-two.

It’s been 18 years since they lost Samantha and with little sign of knife crime being tackled by the Government, Alison’s aiming to enter politics to try to clean up Westminster.
She said: “Every time I see another child killed, like with the Southport attack, it makes me angry and determined to do more.
“I ring Carly and say, ‘Have you seen this, there’s been another one?’ We’ve got to try and do more.”
“We’ve been given the MBE now, is this a ticket to do more?
“I’d love to become an MP, that’s my goal. I want to make change from the inside. That’s hopefully the next stage of my campaigning.
“Let’s clean up Westminster. I might get kicked out of parliament because I’m very outspoken!
“Speaking about what happened to Samantha does take its toll on you, but I want people to know what kind of person she was, her background, her family, and the life she had.
“We had a normal, happy life together. I love to talk about that and show photographs and family videos so people can see who she was.
“She’s more than just what happened to her.”
Britain’s Killer Teens launches on Crime+Investigation on September 8 at 9pm.
