David McGreavy parole: Babysitter who killed three children and impaled their bodies on railings cleared for release

A man who killed three children before hanging their mutilated bodies on garden railings outside their home has been cleared for release by the Parole Board.

David McGreavy killed Paul Ralph, four, and his sisters Dawn, two, and nine-month-old Samantha in their Worcester home in 1973.

Paul had been strangled, Dawn was found with her throat cut, and Samantha died from a compound fracture to the skull.

McGreavy, now 67, a family friend and lodger, then impaled their bodies on the spiked garden railings of a house in Gillam Street, Rainbow Hill.

He claimed he killed the children because one of them would not stop crying, and was sentenced to life for the murders.

The Parole Board confirmed that a panel directed his release following an oral hearing

“The psychologist identified a number of factors which make it less likely that Mr McGreavy will reoffend in future.

“These included his improved self-control and the fact that Mr McGreavy has learnt to remain calm in stressful situations.

Absolute disgraceful decision IMO.
 


Should be consequences for these parole board panels and judges that let dangerous people go that re-offend...let them be open to being sued by victims...
