Width-two conjecture for prime-indexed generalised Fabrykowski-Gupta groups

Let pp be an odd prime, and let Γp\Gamma_p be the corresponding generalised Fabrykowski-Gupta group. The width-two conjecture. Then Γp\Gamma_p is a group of width 22. The conjecture is motivated by computed lower central series factors for p=5,7,11p=5,7,11 and by the known pattern for Γ3\Gamma_3, but the source gives no proof or resolution.
