Overview

• Dwyer, 35, served around 12 weeks of his 14-month sentence for dangerous driving after crashing into five-year-old Casey Wilson in Grangetown, Cardiff.
• He was released into home detention curfew in early May under the Ministry of Justice’s scheme that allows inmates to leave custody after serving 40% of their term.
• Released offenders face strict licence conditions including electronic tagging and risk assessments, with breaches leading to a return to prison.
• Casey’s mother, Rachel Bancroft, described the shortened jail term as a “disgrace” and highlighted her daughter’s ongoing physical and mental injuries.
• Sir Mark Rowley warned that the early-release programme could increase police workloads and potentially lead to further offences.
