Lynette White: Decision to release murderer won’t be reviewed

John Actie, one of five men falsely accused of the murder, in one of Britain’s biggest miscarriages of justice, had instructed a solicitor to challenge the decision of the parole board.

He said: “I expected it, it’s not a shock. I’ve done my best. They were going to let him out all along. Nothing shocks me no more.”

Gafoor admitted the murder after advances in DNA technology linked him to the crime in 2003.

He was given a life sentence, but told he would need to serve 13 years before he could be considered for parole. He has now served 21 years in prison.

Lynette White, who was a sex worker, was stabbed more than 50 times in a flat above a bookmakers on 14 February 1988.

The initial investigation into her death lead to one of Britain’s longest ever criminal trials, followed by the wrongful conviction of three men.
