Airgun child killer Mark Bonini will plead to be released from jail at a hearing next week, just three days before what should have been his tiny victim’s 20th birthday.
Andrew Morton was only two when Bonini shot him through the head with an airgun he had modified to give it greater power.
Bonini, 44, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 13 years but has now served more than 17 years.
