A man who killed three small children and impaled their bodies on railings more than 40 years ago has been cleared for release from a Suffolk prison.
More details
Life should mean life.
Concerns were raised after a Parole Board document revealed David McGreavy, now 67, has formed “a network of supportive friends in the community” during his time at Warren Hill Prison, near Woodbridge. McGreavy was sentenced to life in 1973 for the horrific killings of 3 siblings.

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.
