Revealed: Schoolgirl who tortured and murdered pensioner has been given a new identity and lives in hiding - as it emerges her teenage accomplice is back on the streets after being released from jail

The teenage accomplice of a woman jailed for life for the murder and torture of a pensioner now has a new identity and lives in hiding.

Lisa Healey was just 15 when she and her friend Sarah Davey savagely attacked frail pensioner Lily Lilley, 71, in her terraced house in Failsworth, Manchester.

The evil pair murdered her and dumped her body in a bin before throwing it in a river.

Mail Online revealed last week that Davey was freed from prison on March 23 after a decision by the Parole Board. Originally jailed indefinitely in 1999, Davey was recalled seven times over breaches of her licensing conditions.

Healey was released around 10 years after being sentenced for the murder.

Shockingly, she had a baby after becoming pregnant during day release from an open prison not long before she was due to be released.

In summertime, Davey is able to soak up the sun's rays in the prison grounds, while she was even allowed out to visit tanning salons to maintain her colour. 

The news shocked the nation and led to the prison service being accused of operating 'holiday camps' rather than jails.

'When you think what she did to that poor woman, it's shocking to think that she's able to enjoy herself like that,' a former fellow inmate told the Mail at the time.

'She's so vain – she was always looking at herself in the mirror, and she wouldn't come out of her room unless her make-up was perfect.

'It's full of toiletries and nice clothes she's been sent so she can always look her best. People think she's in there for punishment, but she's enjoying herself – she's basically being treated like a pampered teenager.'

She fell pregnant to her then boyfriend while on day release and reportedly looked after the baby in the mother and baby unit of Askham Grange Prison near York before she was released.

She was 15 when she committed the 'wicked' murder. 

Now in her mid 40s, she was granted a new identity and is in hiding - inevitably at a heavy cost to the taxpayer .

Those living near her will have no idea of her vile past.

Askham Grange is an open prison which allows inmates nearing the end of their sentences day release in an attempt to reintegrate into the community.

MPs and justice campaigners were left furious at news she had managed to get pregnant, while staff were said to be 'gobsmacked'.

Healey and Davey were invited for a cup of tea by Ms Lilley before they taunted her, squirted her with shampoo and cut her legs with a knife.

They choked her with a gag tied so tightly that her false teeth were driven down her throat. A framed photo of her son as a baby was thrown into the bin. 

The pair then took over her house, making hundreds of calls from her phone and used her pension money to buy crisps and chocolate.

News of Davey's recent release sparked outrage. 

Tory MP Nigel Mills said: 'It's disgraceful. This is a truly evil crime. It is appalling. This is not justice. She is laughing at justice.'

Documents shared with Mail Online by the Parole Board have examined 'progress' she is said to have made. 

They said: 'Evidence was presented at the hearing regarding Ms Davey's progress and custodial conduct during this sentence and since recall. She had engaged with programmes to address how she manages her emotions, healthy relationships, and one to one work with her prison supervisor. 

'Ms Davey is also working with a service that helps those with difficult aspects to their personality and this will continue in the community.

 'The panel heard that overall Ms Davey had demonstrated application of relevant skills and learning while in custody. Witnesses, namely the prison psychologist, the prisoner commissioned psychologist, the community probation officer and prison supervisor, recommended release. '

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice said of the decision: 'Sarah Davey will be subject to close supervision for the rest of her life and can be recalled to prison if she breaches the strict conditions of her release.'

A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: 'We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Sarah Davey following an oral hearing.

'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.
