A man who murdered Black teenager Anthony Walker in a barbaric racist attack is to be freed from jail on parole.
Louise and Marcus were able to escape but Walker’s life came to an end when Taylor struck the boy in the head with an ice pick, causing brain death. Nearly two decades since the vicious attack, a now 34-year-old Barton may soon be released from prison.The Parole Board, a body that assesses the potential risk of freeing prisoners, said yesterday its panel was ‘satisfied that Mr Barton was suitable for release’.
His licence conditions include living in a designated address, a curfew and strict supervision and monitoring.
