More Two-Tiered UK Bullsh!t: One Of The Two Black Machete Murderers Of A White 14-Year-Old Gets Out Of Prison After Only 5 Months

A teenager responsible for the death of a 14-year-old boy in a horrendous machete attack is to be released from prison early.

Gordon Gault’s mother said she was ‘devastated’ to learn Lawson Natty will be free to walk to streets in September.

He was jailed in March after a jury found him guilty of manslaughter for supplying Carlos Neto, also 18, the machete used in the fatal attack in November 2022.

Gordon suffered a single stab wound to his upper right arm in the Elswick area of Newcastle and died in hospital six days later.

Neto, from Manchester, was jailed for nine years and two months, while Natty, from Newcastle, received a sentence of two years and eight months.

Gordon’s mother Dionne Barrett, from Benwell, received confirmation of Natty’s early release in writing from HM Prison and Probation Service at the weekend.

The letter said: “Due to significant issues within the prison population, the Lord Chancellor has announced plans to introduce a change to the law which will allow some prisoners serving determined sentence to be released on license early.

“Prisoners who meet the criteria will be released after serving 40 per cent of their sentence in custody rather than the 50 per cent they serve now.

“These changes are due to happen from September so no prisoner will be released under the scheme before that time.

“We have been advised that Lawson Natty meets the criteria for this scheme so I’m writing to inform you that the release will be brought forward. The revised release date will be in the week beginning September 9, 2024.”
