Glyn Razzell, 64, from Somerset, has been released from prison despite refusing to disclose the whereabouts of his wife Linda's remains. Razzell was serving a life sentence for her murder, but a parole panel granted his release after a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Linda Razzell, a 41-year-old mother-of-four, vanished on her way to work in Swindon in March 2002. Her body has never been found. Razzell maintained his innocence throughout the hearing, stating, 'I don't know where Linda's remains are - I don't know if she's dead for sure.'
The parole panel noted that Razzell's refusal to reveal the body location had previously blocked his release under Helen's Law, which makes it harder for killers to get parole if they do not disclose the victim's whereabouts. However, the panel ultimately decided to free him, citing his low risk of reoffending.
During the hearing, Razzell denied killing his wife, suggesting she may have disappeared to incriminate him. He also denied allegations of violent behaviour and claimed that blood found in a borrowed car was planted. The couple's children have expressed grief and a desire to arrange a burial, but Razzell remains the only person who knows where Linda's body is.
