Killer model Caroline Igoe is hoping to leave jail halfway through her sentence after sparking fury with a day trip to see her family.
The mum-of-four is serving 20 years for executing boyfriend Martyn Barclay with a handgun in 2009.
Caroline, 42, posed for a selfie during a hospital visit to see her daughter – with jail sources saying the killer is being given “special treatment”.
Igoe shot Martyn, 26, in the head from point-blank range at home in Edinburgh back in January 2009.
Her family have long protested her innocence, saying she was jailed on “purely circumstantial” evidence.
Prosecutor Alex Prentice QC said Martyn’s death was an “act of cold-blooded murder executed with a chilling military precision”.
An online petition called for Igoe to get her case reviewed so she can “walk free” – it has since been taken down.
Igoe has made several bids for release and the petition only attracted a handful of signatures.
