The British Airways pilot was due to be freed from prison next month but his case will now go to the Parole Board.
A British Airways captain who bludgeoned his wife to death with a hammer will remain in prison after his release was blocked by the lord chancellor. Robert Brown was due to be automatically freed on licence next month halfway through his 26-year sentence for killing Joanna Simpson at their family home in October 2010.
Brown was sentenced to 24 years for manslaughter and a further two years for an offence of obstructing a coroner in the execution of his duty. The move to block his release comes after a campaign by Ms Simpson's best friend Hetti Barkworth-Nanton, and family, including her mother Diana Parkes, which was backed by Carrie Johnson, the wife of former prime minister Boris Johnson. 'This is an appalling case,' said Mr Chalk.
