Killer of teen QPR star wants parole Dad: I’ll meet knife thug in jail
Dad scales stairs peak
A DOTING dad climbed the height of Everest on his stairs with his baby daughter strapped to his chest.
Peter Hinton, 34, set off on his lockdown challenge with ten-month-old Lizzy to give his wife Amy, a hospice carer, a break.
In 21 days he climbed 44,240 stairs – 8,848m – while fundraising for Butterwick Hospice, where Amy works, near their Middlesbrough home.
Peter, a digital designer, did not have to contend with freak weather or altitude sickness but did have to deal with temper tantrums and baby sick.
He said: “It wasn’t easy. What I didn’t realise was how hard it would be on the knees. But it’s all for an amazing cause and something Lizzy and I will talk about for years to come.”
THE dad of murdered footballer Kiyan Prince has hit out after his killer applied for parole.
Hannad Hasan, 30, is in prison for knifing QPR youth player Kiyan through the heart 14 years ago, almost to the day. Now he is applying to be released – and could be deported back to his native Somalia if successful.
But his victim’s dad Mark has demanded to meet the thug before any parole hearing.
Mark, a former boxer, told the Sunday People: “I don’t believe that Hannad should be able to apply for parole before I am able to speak with him one on one.
“I had arranged to visit him last year but through no fault of anyone it was cancelled at the last minute.
Risk
“I believe it is my right to speak to the man who killed my son, who pushed a knife into his body.
“Knife crime is like losing two lives – one person dies and another is locked up.”
His son Kiyan played for Queens Park Rangers youth teams and was tipped as a future Wayne Rooney when he was murdered aged 15 by a fellow schoolboy.
It happened when Kiyan tried to break up a fight outside the London Academy in Edgware, North London, on May 18 2006.
Killer Hasan, who was 16 at the time, claimed it was an accident but he was revealed to be a wannabe gangster and bully who had assaulted other pupils at the school. Days before the murder, Hasan – who came to Britain as a refugee from war-torn Somalia in 2001 – threatened to stab a girl on a bus and was excluded for urinating in front of a woman teacher and vowing to beat up another. He was jailed in 2007 and ordered to serve at least 13 years.
Kiyan’s dad Mark set up the Kiyan Prince Foundation to encourage teens to shun crime and take up sport.
Last year QPR renamed their Loftus Road ground The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.
Speaking about the last 14 years, Mark, 50, told us: “The grief never goes away. You learn to live with that grief and there are times when you have heart-wrenching breakdowns. Kiyan’s family and friends live with his death and miss him terribly every day.”
The Parole Board said: “We can confirm the parole review of Hannad Hasan has been referred to the board and is following standard processes.
“Decisions are solely focused on whether a prisoner would represent a significant risk to the public.
“A hearing date will be scheduled in due course and the panel will carefully look at a range of evidence, including details of the original case, and any evidence of behaviour change.”
