The British Airways Killer: Family Terrified at the Potential Release of Joanna's Killer

Joanna Simpson was killed in 2010 by her husband, pilot Robert Brown. Their two children were in the next room when he bludgeoned her to death and then buried her in a pre-dug grave. He was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 26 years in prison.

The former pilot recently brought a High Court challenge against the government which moved to block his automatic release from prison. He claims that 'political motivation' amid a media campaign against his release improperly contributed to a decision to refer his case to the Parole Board. He has served 13 years and was due for parole last year but last October Justice Secretary Alex Chalk used new powers to have Brown's case reviewed by the Parole Board rather than allow his release on licence at the halfway point of his sentence.

Di is now waiting for the decision of the appeal - which could see her daughter’s killer freed.
