Sarah, Duchess of York, is in America, saying ‘goodbye’ to her daughter, Princess Eugenie, who starts work in New York on Monday. She could, however, soon be faced with a ghost from her past.
Mandrake can disclose that Jane Andrews, Fergie’s former dresser, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2001, is to appear before a parole board in the New Year.
If she manages to convince the members of the board that she is no longer a danger to society, steps will be taken to integrate her back into the community.
Rick Cressman, whose brother Thomas was murdered by Andrews in 2000 after he refused to marry her, says she should not be released.
‘We have never heard a word of remorse from her,’ he tells me. ‘Surely, rehabilitation into society must depend on a murderer showing genuine remorse.’ The Telegraph online article Richard Eden 6th October 2013, ‘Duchess of York’s killer aide could be freed in the new year’
Just seven days after this video was taken, Jane Andrews, former aide to Sarah Ferguson, murdered her boyfriend Tom Cressman. The killing had all the ingredients of a tabloid sensation.
