'Positive reports and remorse' - how schoolgirl's torture gang killer talked his way out of jail

He played a depraved part in one of Manchester's most infamous murders. But now the Parole Board has decided Glyn Powell should be released from prison.

He was one of four people convicted of killing 16-year-old Suzanne Capper. She was tortured for a week at a house in Moston before being driven to remote woodland near Stockport where she was doused in petrol and set on fire.

She was found on a country lane with horrific injuries by workmen who raised the alarm. She died in Withington Hospital four days later from 80 per cent burns and multiple organ failure, but lived long enough to identify her killers to police.
