Britain's most notorious prisoner Charles Bronson says he's 'coming home' with parole hearing set for June

One of the country's most notorious prisoners says he is "coming home" after more than forty years behind bars.

Charles Bronson is said to have parole hearing as soon as June, and is confident he is "closer now to getting out" than he has been in "30-odd years".

The 70-year-old, who grew up in Aberystwyth, was first jailed for seven years in 1974, aged 22, for armed robbery – but more time was added due to attacks on guards and fellow prisoners. He was released in 1987 but has spent more than 40 years inside after returning to jail soon after.
