Kiran Kaur will serve less jail time than Lucy Conolly due to a shocking two-tier loophole.
The mother of Henry Novak’s murderer got three years today for hiding the weapon her son used to repeatedly stab Henry Novak to death.
She would normally serve just 40% of that sentence due to early release rules. But it gets worse…
Buried in the judgment, the judge says Kaur may qualify for “Home Detention Curfew”. That means on top of her early release, she can be released on house arrest 180 days before the 40% point.
Put simply, Kiran Kaur will serve just 8 months for her role in Henry’s murder.
To put that into context, Lucy Conolly served over 10 months for one badly worded tweet. Unlike Kaur, she was told that her offence made her “presumed-unsuitable” for house arrest.
I’m sorry. But this looks like another case of two-tier justice to me.
Kaur conspired with her son as he sought to smear Henry as racist he lay dying on the street.
Frankly — as an Indian national — she should be deported to serve a very lengthy sentence in her country of origin.
But to let her off with house arrest, when it was denied to others, would be an outrage.
