Mum's fear after 'Monster of Worcester' who killed her children set for release

A mum whose three children were murdered by the 'Monster of Worcester' fears seeing him in the street after he was cleared for release from prison.

David McGreavy killed Elsie Urry's children, Paul Ralph, four, Dawn, two, and nine-month-old Samantha at their Worcester home in 1973.

McGreavy would be subject to exclusion zones including where Mrs Urry lives - but they could still bump into one another elsewhere.

The Parole Board said a victim was entitled to request for conditions to be added to a release licence.

McGreavy was 21 at the time of the murders and was the family's lodger. He impaled the children's bodies on railings.

Mrs Urry told the BBC : "I go to Basingstoke... with my brother, where they live, and things like that and it doesn't... cover that does it?"

She added: "There's people in prison who have done murders, not half as bad as what he's done, and yet they haven't been put up for parole, so why should he get it?"

In 2016 Mrs Urry revealed she had written to the Parole Board several times to oppose plans to release McGreavy.

Mrs Urry fears she could soon bump into him in the street: "In the back of my head I just feel that if I did bump into him - and because I'd kept him in for these extra years - would that create a problem?"

Asked if she had had conversations about where she hoped he would not be able to go, Ms Urry said: "Nobody asked me. Nobody gave me that choice."

A Parole Board statement regarding exclusion zones said: "The Parole Board panel considering the case will decide if the request (for a zone) is necessary and proportionate for the prisoner to be safely managed in the community.

"If the panel does not approve the request, or give an adapted version of it, they will explain that in the parole decision.

"This will be passed on to the victim by their victim liaison officer, in accordance with the Victims' Code of Practice."
