Experts quiz pilot who bludgeoned wife
BRITISH Airways killer Robert Brown will be questioned by experts behind bars as he launches a fresh bid for freedom.
The pilot was sentenced to 26 years for bludgeoning to death estranged wife Joanna Simpson, 46, with a claw hammer and burying her in a pre-dug grave.
Brown, 60, is set to go before the Parole Board on January 12 and 15.
He had been due to be freed in November 2023 after serving half his term, which sparked a backlash.
Joanna's mother, Diana Parkes, argued she thought he would find a way to hurt her grandchildren if freed.
