An evil monster who set his teenage victim on fire after stuffing her dead body inside a wheelie bin is set to remain behind bars. Colyn Evans was ordered to serve a minimum 17 year term after being convicted of killing Karen Dewar, 16, in Tayport, Fife, in January 2005.
The Welshman, who is currently serving his time in an English jail, applied for a move to an open prison in preparation for his eventual release. But the Parole Board for England and Wales rejected his submissions, the Scottish Daily Express reports.
The decision is understood to have taken into account the risk Evans posed to the public and whether or not the risk could be managed in the community. Evans admitted trying to dismember tragic Karen, who had befriended her killer after feeling sorry for him.
