Gang member jailed for kidnap and torture released by Labour

The second round of Labour’s early prison release scheme saw around 1,100 inmates released on Tuesday – and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is insistent that she wants this emergency release to be the last. As Mr S wrote earlier, a rather interesting range of jailbirds were let out early today – including convicted drug dealers, violent assaulters and identity thieves. But, in a shocking turn of events, it transpires that a London criminal jailed for the kidnap and torture of a 16 year old boy has also been let out early under the scheme.

Isaac Donkoh – a gang member and drill music artist also known as Young Dizz – was imprisoned in 2019 after enlisting four boys under the age of 18 to attack another 16 year old boy. In a chilling series of events, some of which were filmed by Donkoh, the victim was threatened with a machete, was told Donkoh would ‘cut him up’ and had the inmate attempt to pour boiling water over the boy’s head.
