The only one of four people convicted of the killing of Suzanne Capper to still be behind bars is to be released. The torture and death of the 16-year-old schoolgirl shocked Britain and a consequent 22-day trial reduced jurors to tears.
The Parole Board has directed that Glyn Powell should now be released.
Suzanne from Moston, was held captive then beaten, injected with drugs and subjected to brutal torture over seven days. She was then driven to woods near Romiley in Stockport where she was doused in petrol and set on fire. She survived long enough to name her attackers. This year, January 18 marked the 30th anniversary of her funeral at Blackley Cemetery.
