One of the killers of Sophie Lancaster, who was attacked in a park along with her boyfriend because they were dressed as Goths, is set to be freed from jail.
The Parole Board decided Ryan Herbert can be released on licence, 15 years after he took part in the attack.
Herbert was 16 when he was handed a life sentence after admitting murdering the 20-year-old, who died from her injuries after being viciously beaten as she cradled Robert Maltby's head in her lap in 2007.
