The UK’s youngest double-murderer who tortured a woman with a cheese grater and poured salt in her wounds is up for parole. Lorraine Thorpe was just 15 when she murdered her father Desmond Thorpe, 43, and Rosalyn Hunt, 41, in August 2009.
Thorpe, now 31, became the UK’s youngest double-killer and in September 2023, refused to take part in her first parole hearing, which was rejected. Rosalyn Hunt, 41, was murdered by Thorpe and friend Paul Clarke, who died in prison in 2014, by torturing her with a cheese grater and rubbing salt in the wounds.
The mum-of-three was also beaten, had her ribs broken, stamped on and whipped with dog chains.
The pals also murdered Lorraine’s father Desmond, 43, by smothering the disabled man with a cushion.
Thorpe later admitted to police that they would find ‘her trainer prints on his head’.
She was convicted and jailed in 2010 – and told she would serve at least 14 years in prison.
Thorpe is now listed to appear again on the February and is expected to give evidence for a new parole hearing.
The new hearing will be held in private and a decision will be made within 14-days.
A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: “An oral hearing has been listed for the parole review of Lorraine Thorpe and is scheduled to take place in February 2026.
“Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.”
Clarke, 46, was found dead in his prison cell at HMP Whitemoor, Cambs, while serving life imprisonment with a minimum term of 27 years in September 2014.
