Sadistic monster who strangled wife, chopped up her body & hid her remains could walk free in months

A SICK killer who chopped up his wife's body and hid it around Merseyside could be free in months.

Sadistic Mitchell Quy, 46, strangled his wife and mum-of-two Lynsey Quy to death in 1998 before scattering her body parts.


The psychopath then tried to dupe police by making dozens of media appeals – including appearing in a documentary.

He told cops Lynsey had walked out of their home in Southport on December 16, 1998, and disappeared. 

Quy spent 18-months walking free before police exposed his lies and he confessed to the horrific murder.

The monster revealed he had strangled Lynsey, cut up her body and – with the help of his brother Elliot – hid her remains around Southport, Merseyside.

Quy was jailed for life in January 2001, with Elliot sentenced to seven years for helping to dispose of her body.

Lynsey's head and hands were never recovered.

But her torso was found by cops near a roller-coaster at Southport Pleasureland in Merseyside.

A day later, her arms and legs were found dumped in bushes next to a railway line.

Quy has twice been denied a parole hearing but has recently been moved from a Category A to Category B prison.

The Sun can reveal he is currently held at HMP Gartree, in Leicestershire.

Despite the anger of Lynsey's distraught family, Quy has a hearing before the Parole Board in May.

A spokesman for the Parole Board said: "We can confirm the parole review of Mitchell Quy has been referred to the Parole Board by the Secretary of State for Justice and is following standard processes. 


"Parole Board decisions are solely focused on what risk a prisoner could represent to the public if released and whether that risk is manageable in the community.  

"A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behaviour change, as well as explore the harm done and impact the crime has had on the victims. 

"Members read and digest hundreds of pages of evidence and reports in the lead up to an oral hearing.  

"Evidence from witnesses including probation officers, psychiatrists and psychologists, officials supervising the offender in prison as well as victim personal statements are then given at the hearing.  

"The prisoner and witnesses are then questioned at length during the hearing which often lasts a full day or more. 

"Parole reviews are undertaken thoroughly and with extreme care. Protecting the public is our number one priority." 

Quy had originally been given a parole hearing on the 21st June 2021, but this was postponed because the panel needed more time to gather all the evidence.

The Parole Board should take about six weeks to make a decision.

I just want to thank everyone that has supported us by sharing and signing the petition which we believe has kept him in jail previous times that he was up for parole.

If Quy is granted parole, there is a three week period when the decision remains provisional.

This is to allow victim’s family or Secretary of State for Justice to ask for the decision to be reconsidered by the Board if they feel it was irrational or procedurally unfair.

The decision will then be ratified in July. 

The original decision to grant Mitchell a parole hearing in June last year sparked outrage.

Writing on Facebook, Lynsey's family predicted that it was “very likely” he would be released.

A family member said: "On June 17 we have the parole hearing to decide whether or not [Quy] is released from jail.

"We as a family definitely think it's very likely he will be released this time."

'WAIT AND FIND OUT'

The post continues: "I just want to thank everyone that has supported us by sharing and signing the petition which we believe has kept him in jail previous times that he was up for parole."

Thousands of people backed the family in their passionate fight to keep the killer ex-husband behind bars, and a petition calling for him to be denied parole in 2017 gained more than 7,500 signatures.

In TV show ‘Faking It: Tears of a Crime’, which aired on Investigation Discovery in 2017, a video shows him being asked: "Did you kill Lynsey?"

Quy shook his head and replied: "I’m not going to answer that. I’m not going to answer that question because I don’t need to."

Pressed by the reporter to respond, he dismissed the question as "stupid" before chillingly adding: "Wait and find out."

Mitchell had been working as a former casino croupier.

He had cruelly told their two kids that their "mummy has run away but will be back soon".

Quy also brazenly claimed the ex-barmaid had run off with another man.

How you can get help

Women’s Aid has this advice for victims and their families:

  • Always keep your phone nearby.
  • Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.
  • If you are in danger, call 999.
  • Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
  • Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
  • If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
  • Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.
