PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars(在狱中,被监禁) after Andy Burnham announced changes to the early release scheme aimed at(旨在,针对) easing(缓解,减轻) prison overcrowding, saying he understood “how strongly people feel about this issue”.
在安迪·伯纳姆宣布修改旨在缓解监狱过度拥挤的提前释放计划后,安德鲁·哈珀警官的凶手将继续被关押。伯纳姆表示,他理解“人们对这个问题的感受有多强烈”。
The prime minister said anyone convicted of unlawful killing, including all forms of manslaughter, would be excluded from the scheme, which would have made two of the officer’s killers eligible for early release.(首相表示,任何被判非法杀人罪的人将被排除在该计划之外,而该计划原本会使两名凶手有资格提前释放。) It comes after Burnham previously ordered a review of plans for the early release of thousands of killers, rapists(强奸犯) and sex offenders from prison in September.
首相表示,任何被判非法杀人罪(包括所有形式的过失杀人)的人将被排除在该计划之外,而该计划原本会使杀害这名警官的两名凶手有资格提前获释。此前,伯纳姆已于九月下令审查一项计划,该计划涉及数千名杀人犯、强奸犯和性犯罪者的提前释放。
“We will now not only be keeping offenders serving time for indecent assault(猥亵罪) locked up(被关押), but also those in prison for manslaughter and death by dangerous driving(危险驾驶致死罪),” the prime minister said. “This means that the awful criminals responsible for the killing of PC Andrew Harper will not have their sentence shortened.(这意味着,对杀害安德鲁·哈珀警官负有责任的可怕罪犯将不会被缩短刑期。)”
“我们现在不仅将继续关押因猥亵罪服刑的罪犯,还将关押因过失杀人和危险驾驶致死在狱中的人,”首相说。“这意味着,对杀害安德鲁·哈珀警官负有责任的可怕罪犯将不会被缩短刑期。”
