Overview
- Reed, 37, left custody on an electronically monitored curfew after being sentenced in October to 32 months for encouraging or assisting arson with recklessness as to whether life would be endangered.
- Tabloid reports say she served about 11 weeks and published photos showed her Christmas shopping with B&M bags as she posted, "Merry Christmas – back home with my babies."
- Court findings stated she drove to buy petrol, paid for items and issued a threat to petrol-bomb the bar before Carl Wild threw a Molotov cocktail that set reveller David Brotton alight.
- Wild was jailed for 13 and a half years after CCTV showed the firebomb attack and further violence inside the venue, including bleach being used on terrified patrons.
- The Ministry of Justice said HDC releases carry strict licence conditions with electronic tagging and that breaches can result in recall to prison.
