Today a campaigning Mersyside mother will be joined by up to 200 of her friends and relatives on a walk from Whitehall place to No. 10 Downing Street to deliver a petition as part of the Enough is Enough; Life Should Mean Life Campaign.

Jean Taylor’s daughter 27-year-old Chantel Taylor, a mother of three children aged 12, 11 and 9, was murdered by Stephen Wynne, 27, of Birkenhead although no body has ever been found.

Her mother has campaigned wholeheartedly to find her but the police thought she must be dead and in January Wynne admitted to her murder.

The family held a funeral for Chantel in July 2006 as a celebration of a young mother’s life.

Wynne was sentenced to life at Liverpool Crown Court on January 25, when the judge said he should serve a minimum of 21 years in jail.  However, he took the case to the Court of appeal and they ruled that the minimum term was too long and reduced it to 18 years.

The court heard how Wynne had used a saw to dismember the body and how he hid the parts in nearby woods and at the local tip.
The killer was also sentenced to 6 years for a failed arson attack on a mosque.

At last someone is doing something and I for one back them every step of the way.  How should he even have been allowed to take his case to the Court Of Appeal when he had already admitted the evil murder.  He has robbed this woman of a daughter and three children of their mother, why should he ever be allowed to walk the streets again. 

Mrs Taylor was quoted as saying “We should take young thugs out of prison and give them six months of army training American-style boot camps.  Depending on the severity of their crimes, they could spend another six months in somewhere like Iraq.  Let’s turn them into men, rather than let them spend a year in a holiday camp playing pool or on their playstations”.

“Ordinary people in this country are sick and tired of what’s going and I am inviting those who haven’t lost young ones in the way we have to join our campaign”.

“How many parents who have teenagers living at home can say they are not fearful?  I want to say to them ‘Do you want to be next? Do you want to be where I am?’  If you don’t, then come along next time and support us.  And if we end up going back to London with 20,000 people there is no way we can be ignored.”

Mrs Taylor added “We shouldn’t be having to do this, but we’re going to keep on going back to London again and again, until murderers are kept off our streets - for ever.”
