'Notorious' train robber 'won't be released'

The infamous train robber Ronnie Biggs will not be released from prison to die a free man, despite his ailing health.

Justice secretary Jack Straw rejected a recommendation that Biggs be freed on parole. This may understandibly satisfy the victims’ families, but to many of us, like myself, too young to know or understand what happened at that time, can we accept that he is now no longer a threat to society?
