The Press Association has a report that Stockwell resident Yeshi Girma, the wife of would-be suicide bomber Hussain Osman, has won a reduction in her 15-year prison sentence. The Court of Appeal has cut it to 11 years and 9 months.
Yeshi Girma failed to alert the authorities to the plan to bomb the London Underground on 21 July 2005 and helped her husband, father of her three children, to escape to Paris, where he was later arrested. Girma's brother Esayas Girma (also from Stockwell) and sister Mulu Girma (from Brighton), whom she enlisted to help her escape plan, had their ten-year sentences cut to five, although their appeals against conviction failed.
The plotters failed to detonate rucksack bombs at Shepherd's Bush, Warren Street and Oval stations and on a bus at Shoreditch High Street. Osman was later jailed for life with a minimum term of 40 years for conspiracy to murder.
