A man who killed a 20-year-old woman while driving drunk could walk free in just four years under a new Labour scheme — sparking outrage and calls for justice. Malcolm Waite, found four times over the legal alcohol limit, received an eight-year sentence for causing death by dangerous driving. His early release, part of a controversial plan to cut prison overcrowding by letting inmates serve half their sentence, has ignited national debate. Fenella Hawes’s family fears he’ll return to the streets and reoffend, arguing that releasing violent offenders sends the wrong message. Critics, including the widow of a slain police officer, are demanding the policy be revised — and the Hawes family is pushing to exclude death-causing offenders from the program altogether.
