The mother of a woman killed by her Bumble date has claimed her daughter would be alive if he wasn't on bail.
Danielle Finlay-Jones, 31, was found brutally murdered in the spare bedroom of her friend's Cranebrook home, West Sydney, in December 2022.
Her killer, Ashley Gaddie, 35, was arrested shortly after and committed suicide in his cell at Clarence Correctional Centre near Grafton in April.
At the time of the attack, Gaddie had Apprehended Violence Orders out against him by five women and was on bail for an alleged assault of a woman.
Ms Finlay-Jones' mother Jacky said her daughter would have had no way to know Gaddie's violent past when they met for the first time.
'If he'd not been out on bail, Danni would be alive today,' Jacky told 60 Minutes.
Her comment comes as experts call for tougher bail conditions on domestic violence offenders to curb the violence against women crisis in Australia.
