Agony as Walker dad-to-be's killer could be released from prison as parole hearing looms

Knife murderer Philip Craggs could soon be freed from prison. Craggs was jailed for life for stabbing young dad-to-be Paul Gilbert to death, in Newcastle, in 2008.

The senseless street attack left Paul's unborn child without a father and his family devastated. And now Paul's loves ones are coming to terms with the fact that his murderer could soon be back on the streets.

Craggs' release is set to be considered at a parole hearing which will be scheduled sometime in the coming months, the Chronicle understands. And today the mother of Paul's child has told of her anger that the man who robbed her son of his father could soon be free.
