Schoolgirl who tortured grandmother to death is freed from prison

A teenage murderer who tortured a gran and dumped her body in a canal has been freed – despite being recalled to jail seven times before.

Sarah Davey was 14 when she and a pal beat gran Lily Lilley, 71, in her terraced home.

Davey – now one of Britain’s most notorious young killers – and her friend befriended lonely Lily at her home in Failsworth, Greater Manchester.

After being invited in for a cup of tea, they taunted her, squirted her with shampoo and cut her legs with a knife. Her body was dumped in a wheelie bin before they pushed it through the streets and overturned it into a canal.

They had choked her with a gag tied so tightly that her false teeth were driven down her throat. A framed photo of her son as a baby was thrown into the bin. The pair then took over her house, making hundreds of calls from her phone and used her pension money to buy crisps and chocolate.

Davey – now in her late 30s – was locked up indefinitely in 1999 for what the judge described as an ‘unspeakably wicked’ murder.

MailOnline can reveal she was released from jail on March 23 after a decision by the Parole Board. 

Davey repeatedly breached her conditions for the original murder. She was first released in March 2013 but kept getting recalled – and has been freed seven times before.
