Sadistic wife killer Mitchell Quy to stay locked up

24 years on from the horrific murder of a mum in Merseyside, the sadistic killer that cut her life short remains in prison.

Lynsey Quy was strangled to death before her husband Mitchell Quy played a sick game with both the press and the public over the course of 18 months. Quy, who was jailed for life in January 2001, scattered his wife's body across Southport where they lived with their two children in December 1998.

He was ordered to spend a minimum of 17 years in prison before he could be considered for parole. Following the initial 17-year period, the murderer, now 47, has applied three times for parole.
