The Justice Secretary and Lord Chancellor Alex Chalk intervened and asked the Parole Board to reconsider their decision to release Colin Pitchfork.
Thank you to everyone who watched the Crime Analyst video and took action by writing to the Justice Secretary.
Pitchfork strangled, raped and murdered 15 year old Lynda Mann in 1983 and 15 year old Dawn Ashworth in 1986. He admitted many more offences. He was diagnosed a psychopath with a serious psychosexual pathology. He cannot be rehabilitated or cured. The single focus of the Parole Board must public protection.
Thank you to everyone who took action to stop this flawed and irrational decision. Girls and women must be valued more. Thank you Justice Secretary Alex Chalk.
My thoughts are with Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth and their families.
