Murderer Set Free Despite Missing Body

0:00On April 17, Glenn Rezel, convicted of murdering his estranged wife Linda back in March 2002, is set to walk free on parole. He got a minimum 16-year sentence after a jury nailed him in 2003, but her body was never found, despite massive searches. Linda vanished heading to work in Swindon after dropping off the kids. This parole came after three denials, including the first under Helen's Law, which makes it tougher for killers to get out if they won't say where the body is. The panel in January ruled he's no longer a public risk, even though he still claims innocence and won't cooperate. Linda's family and her fiance are furious, saying the board basically ignored Helen's law and the pain it causes. They want him locked up until he shows real remorse, or reveals what happened to her remains so her four kids can have closure. The parole board did call his silence ongoing cruelty, but decided the risk is manageable now. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice is looking into challenging the release through a review
