Should life mean life?

[Black Orchid]

The 'Monster of Worcester' who murdered three children before impaling their mutilated bodies on a fence outside their home has been released from prison.

David McGreavy, 67, murdered Paul Ralph, four, and his sisters Dawn, two, and nine-month-old Samantha at their home in Worcester in 1973.

But the children's mother Elsie Urry, 68, has been told by Victim Support that he has been freed after 46 years. She said today: 'I feel like killing him if I got hold of him.'

Ms Urry, who now lives in Hampshire, added: 'They said he was going in for life and then they changed it for (at least) 20 years, but he hasn't done 60 years. He took three lives, not just one or two; three. And also he's took my life really.'

She has previously admitted that she 'wanted him dead', and believes the murders McGreavy committed were 'every bit as bad as what the Moors Murderers did'.

Robin Walker, the Conservative MP for Worcester, has repeatedly written to successive justice ministers and home secretaries objecting to McGreavy's release.

He said today: 'Frankly, I don't think someone who carried out such crimes should ever be let out. It is a great shame.

'I understand there are strict curfew and tag conditions and he is banned from Worcester, and the area in Andover where Ms Urry lives.'

Ms Urry received a phone call while she was working at a nursing home at 8.15am yesterday from her Victim Support worker to say McGreavy had been freed.

Visibly shaking as she spoke at her home in Andover today, Ms Urry said: 'I am so angry and upset. I feel terrible. I feel like killing him if I got hold of him.

'He should never have been released. I want people to know he is walking about. I was at work when I had the phone call - it was on my mobile.

'The Victim Support person rang to tell me they had released him. They did not tell me where he is staying. All I know is that he is on a tag.'

So what if he is not allowed in the area in which he committed the crime? People capable of such heinous acts should never be released imo.

Fucking disgusting. The dickheads responsible for letting this scum out are just as bad as the murderer imo.

Why would you call it "life" when you walk free in a few years - or even if its 10, 20 or 30 years.

What part of "LIFE" in prison don't these judges understand?

Why do we have a system that calls non life sentences, "Life" in prison when they are clearly not?

I would think about killing him as well.

I would think about killing him as well.

I don't think you'd be alone there.

Life should mean LIFE. I don't believe in capital punishment but I also don't believe that gaol should be a wank, warm bed, 3 meals a day and TV to watch and friends to make. They need to be PUNISHED ... sleeping on the concrete floor, with only a small rug and bread and water for food, would be a start.

my thoughts are with the mum.. she has thought about her babies for 46 years..

the law should take into account how she feels about what is about to happen...

her pain is more than real...and maybe it hasnt faded at all after all this time..

I am so sorry her wonderful memories of her children are now sullied with think about this monster..

she doesnt want him in her head.......when is the law going to take that into account...
