Tyrone Clark: Murdered teen’s mum wants changes to parole system

Tyrone was chased by a 20-strong gang in Brett Gardens, in Beeston, and was attacked with weapons including metal poles, planks of wood and CS spray.

While four people were convicted of murder following a trial at Leeds Crown Court a fifth suspect, Qasim Majid, fled to Pakistan and remains wanted by police.

Earlier this year the daughter of Wendy Speakes, who was raped and murdered in Wakefield in 1994 launched a campaign to change the parole process.

Like Ms Fraser, she said the impact of repeated parole hearings forced her to relive the trauma.

Tracey Millington-Jones said she had face four parole hearings in six years as her mother’s killer, Christopher Farrow, made repeated attempts to be released.

Speaking in March she said: “I spend months preparing a victim impact statement, then have to face the ordeal of going into the prison, where the man who murdered my mum is being kept, to read it out.”

Backing her campaign, Joanne Early, the CEO of the charity Support After Murder and Manslaughter, said parole hearings “retraumatise” victim’s families and called for the time between requests for parole to be extended.
