Suzanne Capper was tortured and murdered in a case that sickened Manchester. All but one of her killers is back on the streets
The only one of four people convicted of the killing of Suzanne Capper to still be behind bars is to make a fresh bid for freedom. The torture and death of the 16-year-old schoolgirl shocked Britain and a consequent 22-day trial reduced jurors to tears.
For decades since Suzanne's death in 1992, her mother Elizabeth Dunbar and veteran Manchester MP, Graham Stringer, have campaigned to oppose any applications by the killers for parole, but three have been released. Now only one remains in prison - Glyn Powell. McNeilly was paroled in 2015 after having her 25 year sentence cut by one year. Dudson was released in 2013. In 2017 Jean Gillespie, formerly Powell, was released. A Parole Board spokesperson said of Gillespie: "She got a 24 year sentence and spent one year on remand so from sentencing, 23 years. Her tariff expired in 2016."
The next day she was moved to another house in the street and the appalling physical abuse continued after she was tied to an upturned bed. Eventually, on December 14, they decided to kill Suzanne. In 2013 Suzanne's mother told of her ‘utter devastation’ after parole board bosses approved the release of Dudson after ruling he posed no risk to the public. She believed the killers should have got whole life terms, and that her ordeal made her wish the country 'still had the death penalty'.
