Sick paedophile bus driver who killed Manchester schoolboy and then moved in with his family to stay in jail
A man who committed one of the most chilling child murders Greater Manchester has seen will not be released from jail, the M.E.N can reveal. The Parole Board recently met to hear the case of Darren Vickers, and whether he could be released from his sentence, which was denied.

Brazenly Vickers would go on to front media appeals for the devastated family, even going on TV to speak on their behalf, and urging the public to help find 'missing' Jamie. He would also take part in searches for Jamie, despite his knowledge that they were going nowhere.
In 1999, after Jamie's remains had been found in undergrowth at Reddish Vale, Vickers was jailed for life for murder and ordered to serve 25 years behind bars. The Parole Board summary of this week's decision stated that the decision was made after a 'paper review' in which hundreds of pages of evidence and statements would be considered. It added that Vickers 'did not seek his release' or to move to an open prison.
