A former soldier who murdered a mother-of-three and dismembered her body has won a High Court challenge over his transfer to open prison conditions.
Stephen Wynne, then aged 26, killed sex worker Chantel Taylor with a meat cleaver after picking her up near his home in Birkenhead, in March 2004. He later admitted to murdering the 27-year-old and was jailed for life at Liverpool Crown Court in January 2006.
His minimum term of 21 years was later reduced to 18 years by the Court of Appeal, with this due to expire in July. Ms Taylor's remains have never been recovered, with Wynne only being caught when he tried to torch a mosque in Birkenhead in revenge for the July 7, 2005, London bombings.
