Glitter to be released early from Vietnamese prison

Saturday, 2 August 2008

Disgraced glam rocker Gary Glitter is to be released early from prison in Vietnam after being given a sentence reduction to mark the Lunar New Year.

The 63-year-old is serving a three-year prison term for molesting two young girls aged 10 and 11.

He was arrested in November 2005 while trying to leave the country.

Glitter is set to be freed on August 19th under a local tradition to commute prisoners' sentences to mark the Lunar New Year.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
