Worboys to remain behind bars
Campaigners outside the Supreme Court last month following the decision that the Metropolitan Police can be held liable for serious failures in their investigations after a landmark Supreme Court ruling linked to the case of black cab rapist John Worboys
BLACK-CAB rapist John Worboys will remain behind bars after the High Court upheld a challenge to his release today.
