Outrage as killer rapist Pitchfork is to be freed

DOUBLE child killer Colin Pitchfork can be released from prison subject to conditions, the Parole Board has said.

He was jailed for life in 1988 after raping and strangling two 15-year-olds - Lynda left, and Mann, Dawn Ashworth, bottom left in Leicestershire in 1983 and 1986.

He was given a minimum term of 30 years, later reduced to 28 years due to "progress he had made in prison", and was released in September 2021.

But Pitchfork was back behind bars two months later after breaching the licence conditions of his release.
