'Essex Boys' triple-killer Michael Steele released from prison after 27 years
A triple killer convicted of the notorious "Essex Boys" murders has been released from prison after 27 years. Michael Steele was jailed alongside Jack Whomes in 1998 for the murders of Patrick Tate, 37, Tony Tucker, 38, and Craig Rolfe, 26. They were shot dead at point-blank range on an isolated farm track at Rettendon, Essex, in 1995 in what prosecutors said was a row over a drug deal. The gangland executions, also known as the Rettendon Murders or the Range Rover Murders, inspired the 2000 film Essex Boys, starring Sean Bean, as well as The Rise Of The Footsoldier franchise. All three of the victims were known to police. Steele and Whomes maintained their innocence following their convictions, which were based in part on evidence from "supergrass" Darren Nicholls, who said he was the getaway driver. Their appeals were rejected and in 2006 Lord Justice Kay said there was no "element of unsafety" over the convictions. The case was also reviewed by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which decided in 2023 not to refer it back to the Court of Appeal. The Parole Board said in February that Steele could be freed on licence after a "marked improvement" in his behaviour and because keeping him locked up was no longer necessary to protect the public. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood challenged the decision, arguing it was legally irrational, and asked for his case to be looked at again. However, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed Steele was let out in May. An MoJ spokesperson said: "Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Craig Rolfe, Tony Tucker and Pat Tate. "This decision was made by the independent Parole Board after a thorough risk assessment. "Michael Steele will be on licence for the rest of his life, with strict conditions and intensive probation supervision. He faces an immediate return to prison if he breaks the rules." Those conditions include staying at a designated address, giving up his passport, wearing an electronic tag and having a curfew. Other rules on using technology and speaking to the media are in place - and he won't be able to own a firearm, plane or boat.

Lawyer joins calls for sealed Chinook crash documents to be released
A lawyer representing one of the pilots wrongly accused of negligence in the 1994 Mull of Kintyre Chinook crash has joined calls for the 'full truth' about the incident to be made public. RAF Chinook ZD576 crashed in foggy weather on the Mull of Kintyre on June 2 1994 while carrying 25 British intelligence personnel from RAF Aldergrove in Northern Ireland to Fort George near Inverness. The crash killed all 25 passengers along with all four members of the helicopter's crew in what remains one of the RAF's worst peacetime losses of life. Following the crash, the helicopter's dead pilots, flight lieutenants Richard Cook and Jonathan Tapper, were accused of gross negligence, but this was overturned in 2011, with the Government saying there was 'no justification' for it. A number of investigations into the incident have been carried out, including a review by Lord Philips, but last year a BBC documentary revealed a number of documents linked to the crash have been sealed for 100 years. The legal representative for Flight Lieutenant Cook has now joined bereaved families in calling for those documents to be made public and for the truth about what happened to RAF Chinook ZD576 to be revealed. Professor Peter Watson, solicitor advocate of PBW Law, said: 'The continued secrecy around these documents is indefensible after 30 years. The families deserve transparency and accountability. 'The men and women who died were dedicated public servants, military and civilian alike, lost in one of the most tragic peacetime events in RAF history. 'The fact their loved ones are still fighting for the truth three decades later is a national disgrace. 'The decision to seal vital documents for a century – until 2094 – is extraordinary and unjustified. What possible reason can there be for shielding the facts from public scrutiny for so long, particularly after the pilots were exonerated? 'The persistence of secrecy only fuels mistrust and prolongs the suffering of grieving families. It is time for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the UK Government to act with integrity and release these documents. 'The public, and most importantly the families, have a right to know the full truth.' Lord Philip's review set out numerous concerns raised by those who worked on the Chinooks, with staff at the MoD's testing centre at Boscombe Down in Wiltshire declaring the helicopters 'unfit to fly' prior to the crash. Prof Watson's call comes after the Chinook Justice Campaign, which includes the families of those who died, issued an open letter renewing calls for a public inquiry and for the sealed documents to be released in full. The group made a formal request for a public inquiry in October, but this was turned down by minister for veterans and people Alistair Carns in December. The group added that the minister has not responded to further requests for a meeting. The open letter also describes the 'huge concern and upset' experienced by the bereaved families as a result of the sealed documents. 'The papers will not be released until 2094, long after the spouses and children of those killed have themselves passed away,' it states. 'It is unbearable to us as bereaved families to know that this sealed information could give us the answers we need.' The MoD said the closed records contain personal information relating to third parties, and that releasing them early would breach those individuals' data protection rights. The ministry added that it was 'highly unlikely' a further review would identify any new evidence, or reach new conclusions on the basis of existing evidence. A MoD spokesperson said: 'The Mull of Kintyre crash was a tragic accident and our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families, friends and colleagues of all those who died.'
