  That paragraph is not the journalist's writing, it's a quote, presumably transcribed from a verbal interview.

      It's an acceptable spelling in British English https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/grisly https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/grisly

    Yes, which means the journalist who transcribed the interview chose the wrong homophone for this particular word.
