Prisoner who murdered beggar to be let out to help homeless

A WOMAN who murdered a beggar at the age of 15 is being let out of prison to volunteer for a homelessness charity, it was reported today.

Pamela Reid was jailed for at least eight years after she and a friend killed John Brankin, 39, in Edinburgh.
She is now being released from Cornton Vale prison on a regular basis to volunteer at the Shelter shop in Stirling, according to reports today. Managing director of the charity's retail operations Ed Jordan said the organisation supported the rehabilitation of offenders.
