Grieving Scots family's relief as evil child killer fails in bid for freedom

Child killer Mark Bonini’s plea to be released has been knocked back by the Parole Board for Scotland.

Evil Bonini was due to plead for his freedom in April, just three days before what should have been his tiny victim Andrew Morton’s 20th birthday. But that hearing was delayed and Bonini finally made his case for freedom earlier this month.

Andrew was only two when Bonini shot him through the head in March 2005 with an airgun he had modified to give it greater power. Bonini, 44, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 13 years before he could apply for parole but has now served more than 17 years.
