Queen grants rare royal pardon to murderer who fought off a terrorist knife attacker with a 5-foot narwhal tusk on London Bridge
|
 [BusinessInsider] - A murderer who confronted the London Bridge attacker with a narwhal tusk in 2019 will see his 17-year prison sentence reduced under a royal pardon, reports The Mirror.
- Under the pardon, he will be able to reduce his prison sentence by 10 months and can apply for parole in June 2021.
- Steve Gallant, 47, was jailed in 2005 after killing a former firefighter outside of a pub in the Northeastern city of Hull.
- Gallant was on his day release at a conference organized to help rehabilitate prisoners when the attacker, convicted terrorist Usman Khan,
...the Pakistani-Brit former jailbird who ran off from the conference to knife all the passersby he could reach before being stopped and killed. As a precocious 15 year old high school drop-out he’d gotten on terrorist watchlists for preaching hate with Anjem Chaudry’s al-Muhajiroun on the streets of Stoke-on-Trent. He’d been released the previous year after serving time for plotting to bomb the London stock exchange for Al Qaeda in Arabia, but ISIS claimed he died while killing for them... fatally stabbed two people.
- Gallant has received the royal prerogative of mercy by the Queen, for his "exceptionally brave actions...which helped save people's lives despite the tremendous risk to his own."
- This is the first royal pardon for a convicted murderer in 25 years.
