A MAN responsible for ending six young lives in a shocking hit-run crash will be free next week. Thomas Towle has been granted parole and will be released from prison on June 14. The 41-year-old was sentenced to 10 years in prison with a minimum term of seven over the 2006 crash on the outskirts of Mildura. It was February 18 when the teenagers were killed on Myall St, Cardoss, after celebrating a friend's 16th birthday. Towle's young son was sitting on his lap behind the steering wheel when he lost control of the speeding car. Towle fled the scene before being arrested five hours later. Killed in the accident were brother and sister Shane, 16, and Abby Hirst, 17, Stevie-Lee Weight, 15, and Cassandra Manners, Cory Dowling and Josephine Calvi, all 16. Towle had been eligible for parole since February 17. The Adult Parole Board considered Mr Towle's case at a meeting held today. The mother of Abby and Shane Hirst, Kerry Prowse, said she was disgusted at Towle's pending release. "I hope he rots in hell," she said. He's got family up here still, do you reckon he's not going to come up here? Mrs Prowse said her family had worked hard to put the tragedy behind them and Towle's release had opened up old wounds. "We're just starting to get on with our lives and all of a sudden you get one more kick in the guts and it has thrown us all back into turmoil again," she said. Those people who let him out on parole, the only way the decision will ever be changed is if they went through what we went through, and I hope to God they never do. Mrs Prowse said she does not believe Towle has been rehabilitated inside prison and would offend again. My daughter in Queensland is devastated. She's 3000kms away and I can't hold her and he's going to be out next Friday and hold his kids," she said. The killer will be subject to a strict supervision regimen during the parole period and will be closely monitored by Corrections Victoria and the Parole Board. Part of his conditions state he will not be allowed to return to Mildura, where many of the victims' friends and families still live. Adult Parole Board general manager David Provan said Towle's release was subject to range of special conditions. Some of those conditions include that he: UNDERGO assessment and treatment for alcohol or drug addiction or submit to medical, psychological or psychiatric assessment and treatment as directed SUBMIT to testing for alcohol or drug use as directed ABSTAIN from alcohol. MAKE no contact directly or indirectly with any member of the victims' families DOES not drive a motor vehicle. If Towle fails to comply with any condition of his parole order, he will be immediately reported to the Board, Mr Provan said.
