Elizabeth II forgave the murderer “out of heroism”
That day, a convicted killer of a firefighter received permission to leave the prison to participate in an event for inmates.
Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II pardoned Stephen Gallant, convicted of murder, who detained a terrorist on London Bridge in 2019. According to the October 18 Daily Mail, the offender will be released ten years earlier.
A year ago, Usman Khan, 28, convicted of terrorist activities, after being released early, stabbed a group of people on London Bridge with a knife. As a result, two people died, three were injured.
The terrorist was stopped by bystanders, one of whom was Gallant, who was carrying a narwhal tusk. The 42-year-old Briton was convicted of killing a firefighter. That day, he received permission to leave prison to participate in an event for prisoners.
The publication notes that Elizabeth II took advantage of the prerogative of pardon on the advice of the government. The UK Justice Department reported that the decision was made in connection with Gallant’s “extremely bold actions”.
Notably, the family of the murdered firefighter supported the Queen’s decision. As the murdered man’s son pointed out, what happened shows how people can change.
