ROAD rage killer Tracie Andrews will walk free from prison this week – as remorseless and unrepentant as the day she went in, 14 years ago.

The 41-year-old, who stabbed her 25-year-old fiance Lee Harvey up to 40 times then claimed he had been killed by a vengeful motorist, is due to be released on Thursday, still refusing to say sorry.

A source told the Mirror: “She refuses to take the blame. Her attitude is that she has done her time and the slate is now clean. She sees no reason to say sorry to anyone.

“Her family are concerned that she will be hounded wherever she goes. They wanted her to make a public statement on her release, for the first time fully admitting what happened and expressing her regret and sorrow over Lee’s death. But she has refused to listen and has said repeatedly, point blank, that she will not say anything to anyone.”

In prison, ex-barmaid Andrews changed her name to Tia Carter and had £5,000 plastic surgery to her lower jaw to alter her appearance. She also darkened her bottle-blonde locks.

The Ministry of Justice turned down her request for life-time anonymity – like her prison pal Maxine Carr, 34, received on her release seven years ago after serving time for providing Soham killer Ian Huntley with a false alibi. Instead they will keep Andrews under observation until early next year.

She will be staying in a secure “approved residence” in the north of England, protected by CCTV. Andrews will have to follow rules, including a night-time curfew.

Under a ruling won by Ray and Maureen Harvey – the parents of her victim Lee – Andrews cannot stay within a 50-mile radius of their Birmingham home without informing them and the police.

That also rules out her staying with her mum Irene in Warwickshire, at her step-dad Alan Carter’s flat in Worcestershire or at the Walsall home of her daughter, mum-of-one Karla, 20.

Lee’s family, including his 19-year-old daughter Danielle, who was just five when he was murdered, are outraged at her release – even though she will have served every single day of her sentence.

His grieving mum Maureen, 65, will never forgive Andrews for holding her hand during a TV appeal to nail her son’s killer.

Maureen said: “All we have left are memories and a grave while she’s ready to carry on as if nothing happened.

“She is evil.”
