A prisoner who was freed as part of Sir Keir Starmer’s controversial prison scheme killed someone on the same day he was released.

Liam Matthews, 26, left HMP Holme House in Stockton-on-Tees, Durham, just hours before the “brutal” knife attack.

Father-of-one Lewis Bell, 26, was hunted down “like prey” by Matthews, Ashton White, 18, and Sean McLeod, 23, over a drug dispute, a court heard.

After a trial at Teesside Crown Court, Matthews and White were convicted of his manslaughter, and McLeod of his murder.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has since insisted it had “no choice” but to implement the emergency early release programme.

In June last year, Matthews was jailed for 22 months at the same court for violent disorder after kicking and stamping on his victim in a street fight.

However, he was released early as part of Labour’s plan to free up space amid a boom in prison population during the first month of the emergency measures.

After his release on the morning of Sept 18, Matthews was involved in the fatal knife attack, which resulted in Mr Bell being left to die in the street.

Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, said: “This tragic death was preventable.

“Prisoners sentenced for violent offences obviously shouldn’t be let out early.

“The Justice Secretary’s plans to let out more serious offenders are a very real risk to the public. She must think again.

“Instead, the Government need to deport more foreign nationals offenders clogging up cells and reduce the remand population in prison by speeding up trials.”61053e01a075cdab6040

Now lets get this straight, the woman got 31 months for a social media post, but he got 22 months for stamping and kicking a man....but we dont have a two tier justice system...got it
