Rejected petition Stop child murderer David McGreavy from being released from prison.

Rejected on

In 1973 David McGreavy was imprisoned for the murders of 3 innocent children and should not be freed from prison.


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.

You can find out more about the Parole Board here:

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