A man who killed his wife with a claw hammer has had his automatic release from prison blocked by the government.The former British Airways captain, who was convicted of manslaughter, was due to be freed in November after serving half of his 26-year jail sentence.
Brown killed the millionairess at her home within earshot of their two children, then aged nine and 10, a court previously heard. The former pilot, now aged 59, was found not guilty of murder after a jury was told the couple's bitter divorce proceedings had put him under great stress. Ms Simpson's family met Justice Secretary Alex Chalk and his predecessor Dominic Raab in an attempt to stall Brown's release.
