Dawlish murder bid man's parole bid dashed
THE mother of prisoner Ian Hurved — currently serving 12 years for the attempted murder of his police officer wife — is disappointed after he was refused parole.
The inmate of HMP Rye Hill has never accepted the court’s version of events and is bidding for freedom by way of a third appeal.

Ian Hurved
He was convicted in December 2004 of stabbing his estranged wife Fay in a row at their home in Dawlish.
His family have never accepted the verdict and are campaigning for his release believing that it was Fay who was the aggressor in the incident.

But his hopes of an early release were dashed as the parole board told him this week he would not be allowed out on licence. The application was considered on October 26, but the authorities have concluded he was “not suitable for early release”. The report said: “The panel concluded the risks Mr Hurved presents can not be safely managed in the community. Parole is therefore refused.”
He recently told the Echo he feared he would not be granted parole as he has never admitted his guilt.
His mother Barbara Mitchell, 86, of St Thomas, in Exeter, said: “It was not totally unexpected. Ian did not think he would get parole because he has not accepted the court’s verdict, but deep down we were hoping for good news.
“I thought that as Ian has an exemplary prison record it may have worked in his favour.”
Mr Hurved said: “To reiterate, I cannot remember what happened for approximately two minutes on the said date. How can I admit or be in denial as to what happened if I cannot remember?”
Alongside the appeal, the CPS is looking at papers from Devon and Cornwall police in relation to a statement made by a member of the public concerning the security of the crime scene.

Sir/ madam
I do not agree with you, that is conveinent I have forgotten what happened on that terrible day, if I could remember what happened I could submit my version of events. As your goodself the judge and jury engaged this chain of thought also. As my Barrister suggested, ''it mat be better to make something up', rather than say,'' I can't remember'' as courts don't like to hear this. I agree with you 100% the police do a fantastic job, even more difficult today with their resourses being cut nearly by the hour. Although, in all large establishments one is prone to come across one or two bad apples, unfortunately this has been my experience. I do not think for one moment anyone would ''Rubbish you views and thoughts, ??,Exeter. As you kindly inform everyone ''as this is a person who knows a bit more about the case'. Surely it would assist all concerned if you came out from behind the pseudonym of ??,Exeter, and revealled all!!!”

“The person who does not have the courage to give his/her name IS talking a load of rubbish and has certainly not seen papers which I and the Express and Echo Reporter have! Get in touch and you too can see what we are talking about. There is an awful lot more too!”

“Who knows what happened that day apart from the two people concerned, conveniently Ian has forgotten. What is clear is that he committed a horrible attack. The nonsense spouted by the friends if Ian is clearly so biased! The police do a good job and clearly the evidence stacked in a court room, hence he is where he is! 12 members of the Jury convictee him having heard the evidence.
The press should stop reporting such rubbish and if Ian put his hands up and admitted what he did he might well be about to be released on parole.
And this is a person who knows a bit more about the case, before I am rubbished!”

“It is good to see that Alan, like all of Ian's supporters, actually knows about the case and not just what was in the media.”

“So she was the agressor in the situation?? Does that make it ok to go stab someone? If that was the case we would have hundreds of thugs running loose on the street because 'someone else started it'. How old are you?? Grow up and accept the punishment.”
