Rejected petition Review the Parole Board's decision to release David Mcgreavy

A man who killed three children before hanging their mutilated bodies on garden railings outside their home has been cleared for release by the Parole Board.
Considering the heinousness of the crime a life sentence should mean life.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This isn't something that the UK Government and Parliament can do.

Decisions about releasing prisoners into the community are taken by the Parole Board, which is independent. The Government and Parliament can't change the Parole Board's decision.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
