NEW ANGUISH FOR PITCHFORK VICTIM'S MUM

Killer's public parole plea hit by last-minute snag

- TOM PETTIFOR

A MYSTERY last-minute delay in the public parole hearing of double child killer Colin Pitchfork is "upsetting", the mum of one victim says.

The monster, 64, has spent more than 30 years inside for raping and strangling 15-year-olds Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth in Leicestershire in the 1980s.

He was due to face the relatives of his victims at a hearing tomorrow.

But the Parole Board has adjourned it because of a "very recent development" involving "fresh information".
