Glyn Razzell's Ex-Wife's Family Fears Body Will Never Be Found If Killer Released
The family of Linda Razzell, murdered in Swindon in 2002, fears that her remains will never be recovered if her estranged husband, Glyn Razzell, is granted parole. Razzell, now 65, received a life sentence in 2003 for the murder. Linda Razzell's disappearance occurred amidst a contentious divorce and financial disputes.
A spokesperson for the family highlighted the 'Helen's Law' provision, formally known as the 'Prisoners (Disclosure of Information about Victims) Act 2020'. This legislation, enacted in 2021, aims to prevent the parole of convicted murderers who refuse to disclose the location of their victims' bodies. The family stated that Razzell has consistently maintained his innocence and has not provided any information regarding Linda's whereabouts, thus making his potential release a profound injustice.
Linda Razzell, a 41-year-old mother of four, was last seen on 19 October 2002, leaving her place of employment at Swindon College. Although her blood was discovered in the boot of Razzell's car, her body has never been found. The family contends that Razzell's continued silence prevents them from achieving closure and denies Linda a proper burial. His parole application is currently under review, prompting the family's urgent appeal to the Parole Board to uphold the spirit of Helen's Law.
