The second which is more interesting, He has been In prison for nearly 50 years so looks like he was too dangerous to be released after 20 years.
So why now?
I am sure nobody would admit it galty, but he was held as a vulnerable prisoner because many other prisoners gave him a very hard time and this would have meant additional cost.
Apparently he never showed any regret for what he had done, and even hard prisoners would kill somebody, like this, that harmed children.
He probably spent a lot of time alone & I expect he had a miserable time..... but the protection would have also increased the cost of looking after him.
It will have already cost the country around 2.5 million to keep him in prison & Brexit could mean a few lean years...so I would expect they have decided to release long term prisoners who have shown signs of improvement.
That won't please the people he has to live among though, and I don't blame them!
