UK Prime Minister announced that anyone convicted of unlawful killing will be exempt from the early release scheme, a change prompted by the case of PC Andrew Harper's killers. Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham stated 'hundreds' of prisoners will remain incarcerated as a result. This marks a policy reversal on prison overcrowding relief, signaling a tougher sentencing stance.
