Double Child Killer Colin Pitchfork Granted Parole Despite Public Outcry

Pitchfork was jailed for life in 1988 for raping and strangling two 15-year-old girls, Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth, in Leicestershire.

In 2021, he was released but was later arrested and sent back to prison after it was reported that he had approached young women on multiple occasions.

Following a hearing in April, the Parole Board determined that Pitchfork could be released, citing his behavior for almost all of his time in prison had not caused concern and he had learned from his mistakes.

The decision has sparked public outcry and proposed changes to the parole system have been announced, including giving ministers powers to block the release of serious offenders.

The Parole Board has decided to release Colin Pitchfork, who was convicted of the rape and murder of two teenage girls in Leicestershire in the 1980s, despite concerns from the public and the government.

Pitchfork was allowed to undertake litter picking in the community and did not wear a high-visibility jacket.

The Secretary of State has accepted that there was inaccurate information at the time of the recall decision.

Pitchfork's probation officer was not consulted on the decision.

The decision to send Pitchfork back to prison was made on the basis of some of the allegations not being proved and upon some incorrect information.

The new licence conditions include surrendering his passport, to disclose developing relationships, and an "exclusion zone to avoid contact with victims, women and children." The decision is deeply disappointing to the families of the victims and the government, who will seek an immediate and urgent review.

The Parole Board will reconsider the decision if any party thinks it is irrational or unfair.
