Overview
- An oral parole hearing is listed for 9 February, with Thorpe expected to give evidence at a private session.
- The Parole Board will issue its decision within 14 days of the hearing.
- Thorpe completed her 14‑year minimum term in August 2023 but was refused parole after declining to engage with the process.
- She is serving life for the 2009 murders of Rosalyn Hunt and her father, crimes committed at age 15 that made her the UK’s youngest double murderer.
- Officials reiterate that release decisions turn on risk and manageability in the community; her co‑defendant Paul Clarke received a 27‑year minimum and died in prison in 2014.
