Rejected petition Stop the Parole Board releasing David McGreavy 'the Monster of Worcester'
The Parole Board for England and Wales have decided to free David McGreavy murderer of 4 children in 1973 in Worcester to be freed from Prison.
More details
Stop David McGreavy 'the Monster of Worcester' named thus for his horrific murder of 4 young children by impaling them on a fence and left to die in the most painful, bestial, horrific and mediaeval manner in 1973. By this decision, the Parole Board evidences itself as Not Fit for Purpose as it has made a number of Parole decisions recently which were not acceptable to common decency, common sense and the protection of the Public from such Monsters
