Where is tracie andrews

Andrews was convicted in the Birmingham Crown Court on 29 July , and was sentenced to life imprisonment, with a recommendation that she serve at least 14 years. Andrews appealed the sentence, claiming that she was the victim of a miscarriage of justice because of damaging publicity surrounding her case. In October , the appeal was denied. In April Andrews admitted that she did stab Harvey to death, whilst still maintaining she acted in self-defence.

Specifically, this corrected her bottom jaw from protruding over her top jaw. The fact that the operation was paid for by the NHS was the cause of some controversy. Andrews was released in July Having been refused official anonymity, she has started a new life under the name Tia Carter. She is banned from travelling within 25 miles of her victim's family without supervision. It consisted of a dramatisation of the events along with interviews with some of those involved including police and friends of Tracie Andrews and Lee Harvey.

Her story has also been featured on Snapped, a show on the Oxygen network that documents cases of crime by women, usually against lovers or husbands. Tracie Andrews has never shown remorse for murdering my son. Freeing her is the last twist of the knife, says mother of Lee Harvey. As the date neared, her anxiety mounted. She has felt, she says, as if she was on the edge of a precipice. Sometimes I just stand there and cry. She sees no reason to say sorry to anyone. But it still hurts. The wounds, Maureen says, remain as raw as the day that Lee was murdered.

She has had to swallow back the bile each time new photographs have appeared in the papers of Andrews out on day release from Askham Grange open prison in Yorkshire in preparation for release — particularly those of a relaxed Andrews on a shopping trip to York, and laughing with a companion over a cappuccino. More recently, she was pictured pushing a baby buggy with her year-old daughter Karla — who was seven years old when Andrews was jailed — and her first grandchild.

Indeed, it is not. A bus driver with a four-year-old daughter, Danielle, from a previous relationship, Lee suffered 42 stab wounds in the frenzied attack. It was, as we all know now, a complete fabrication. Despite forensic evidence confirming her guilt, she still denied the charges at trial. It was only 21 months after she was convicted that she confessed to killing Lee, claiming self-defence, in a letter to her solicitor. This, despite Lee sustaining a stab wound to his back.

We are the ones who will be serving a life sentence until the day we die. Instead, this week as Andrews is released on life licence, a fresh nightmare looms.

For years Maureen and Ray have fought for a mile exclusion zone to prevent Andrews from coming anywhere near the family home on her release. But last week they were told by the parole board it would be 25 miles. That, to me, would be totally unacceptable. It would be devastating for me if I ever saw Tracie again. What we need is a change in the law to allow us more information.

All this worry will send me to an early grave. I meet Maureen at the neat house she shares with Ray, her husband of 44 years who works as a part-time lorry driver. Lee grew up in this home from the age of four. His pictures remain proudly on display. Maureen admits she took an instant dislike to Tracie when she met her all those years ago. She was slating her family, her ex-boyfriend, everyone.

Maureen last saw her son Lee a week before he was murdered. Maureen is a petite, well-groomed woman. Before Lee was murdered she ran a thriving hairdressing business with her daughter, but she lost that when she suffered a breakdown in the aftermath of his death.

She remains fixated on Tracie Andrews and her grief still has that raw quality of someone who has not moved on and may never do so. I am public property. Our lives will never be normal. I think now it was the latter, but at the time I really wanted to believe she was innocent. Ray thought she was guilty from day one, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. What makes the heart bleed for Maureen, as much as her loss, is her desperate and — at times — futile attempts to contain her emotions and present a more detached, rational, campaigning persona.
