A man who killed 3 children and impaled their bodies on garden railings has been cleared for release

David McGreavy was sentenced to life in 1973 for killing 4-year-old Paul Ralph and his sisters, 2-year-old Dawn, and 9-month-old Samantha in their Worcester home.

A Parole Board report on Tuesday 4th December said he “changed considerably” over 45 years in jail. The board confirmed a panel had directed his release following an oral hearing.

McGreavy, who was dubbed the “Monster of Worcester”, was the family’s lodger and claimed he killed the children because one of them would not stop crying.
