MoJ sorry for saying double child-killer exempt from sex offenders register
Colin Pitchfork will have to sign the sex offenders register upon release (Handout/PA)
The Ministry of Justice has apologised after wrongly claiming that double child-killer Colin Pitchfork would not have to sign the sex offenders register when released from prison.
The Parole Board decision last week to reject the Government’s challenge against its ruling that Pitchfork can be released from behind bars means he will be freed.
Pitchfork, now in his early 60s, was jailed for life after raping and strangling 15-year-olds Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth in Leicestershire in 1983 and 1986.
