Pitchfork, now 61, was the first person in the world to be arrested and convicted using DNA evidence.

He was jailed for life in 1988 for raping and murdering Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth, both 15, in Leicestershire.

In 2018, Pitchfork was denied parole and was told he will be eligible for further review within two years.

A hearing took place in March 2021 to consider whether he was suitable for release and on June 7, 2021, the decision that the Parole Board ruled Pitchfork was suitable for release was published.

The decision was ratified on July 13, 2021, and he was released on 1st September 2021.
