Sophie Lancaster killer to be freed from jail
The Independent says One of the killers of Sophie Lancaster, who was attacked in a park along with her boyfriend because they were dressed as Goths, is set to be freed from jail.
The Parole Board decided Ryan Herbert can be released on licence, 15 years after he took part in the attack.
Herbert was 16 when he was handed a life sentence after admitting murdering the 20-year-old, who died from her injuries after being viciously beaten as she cradled Robert Maltby’s head in her lap in 2007.
He also pleaded guilty to assault causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Mr Maltby and was given a minimum term of 16 years and three months – later reduced to 15-and-a-half years on appeal.
