The prime minister says he’s determined to work out a way to stop PC Andrew Harper’s killers being freed early from prison.

The case has dominated headlines in relation to the government scheme to release some inmates early to tackle overcrowding in prisons in England and Wales.

Probation officers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of potential strike action in protest against early release.
