The Offender Database reported that Recent parole hearing documents disclose that Colin Pitchfork, the Paedophile Child Molesting Murdererer, utilised funds supplied by his partner to “groom” fellow inmates and sexually attacked a younger prisoner in his cell, as revealed by the alarming documents.
The individual, incarcerated for life in 1988 for the rape and strangulation of 15-year-olds Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth in Leicestershire in 1983 and 1986, was denied parole last month.
A Parole Board panel has disclosed that Colin Pitchfork, reportedly receiving “additional funds” from his partner, groomed and abused a “young fellow prisoner in [his] cell.”
It stated: “His motivation for befriending him and offering assistance and canteen items was sexual.”
Colin Pitchfork, 65, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum period of 30 years, then reduced to 28 years, for the rape and strangulation of Lynda in 1983 and Dawn in 1986.
He was freed on licence in 2021 but was recalled after two months for violating his parole conditions.
In June 2023, Colin Pitchfork was given parole; however, this decision was contested by ministers, and in December, it was determined that he would not be released.
Nevertheless, he effectively contested that ruling earlier this year, resulting in an order for a “comprehensive re-hearing.”
Last month, a Parole Board panel determined that he continued to present a threat to the public and denied his parole.
A ruling indicated that in 2024, there were escalating worries regarding Mr Colin Pitchfork’s potential violations of jail regulations by supplying products to fellow inmates.
The redacted form disclosed that he utilised monies from his prison employment as a “listener” and funds received from his “partner”.
The evidence clearly indicates that Mr Pitchfork was expending a significant portion of his personal funds on products for younger inmates, thereby violating prison regulations. He held a position of authority due to his substantial remuneration as an Insider, and also, he consistently received supplementary financial contributions from his spouse.
This indicated that he was affluent relative to the majority of other inmates. Mr Colin Pitchfork failed to divulge a letter, composed in a foreign language, sent to a significantly younger convicted sexual offender, which the prison offender manager anticipated and which prompted enquiries among specialists.
Colin Pitchfork, who confessed to having indecently exposed himself to over 1,000 girls and women, was the inaugural individual convicted based on DNA evidence.
It has since been revealed that Colin Pitchfork changed his name twice while incarcerated in an effort to safeguard his identity upon release.
Colin Pitchfork, described as engaging in “aimless walking,” was recalled in 2021 due to concerns that he was wearing a high-visibility jacket and claiming to be collecting litter when he approached a young woman.
In 2021, he was additionally accused of attempting to deceive lie detector exams.
The documents indicated that he was purportedly “attempting to subvert the testing process by regulating his respiration”.
Disturbing specifics of Colin Pitchfork’s offences were recounted in the recent parole hearing, including his abandonment of his infant boy in the rear of his vehicle and the assault on Lynda as she proceeded to a friend’s residence in the Leicestershire village of Narborough.
He subsequently strangled her with her own scarf, returned home, and placed his son in bed.
Three years later, less than a mile from the location of Lynda’s death, he raped and murdered Dawn Ashworth.
The pathologist who inspected her body characterised it as a “savage sexual assault”. She was subsequently strangled as well.
Parole Board documents indicate that he perpetrated the killings driven by “anger and a desire to inflict harm” on his wife, who was “domineering” and had uncovered his infidelity.
Colin Pitchfork lamented that his misconduct was a “reaction to his treatment by prominent women in his life, particularly his mother, as well as the comparisons and competition with his sister, and more recently, the scrutiny from his wife.”
The report indicates: “It commenced with indecent exposure at approximately the age of 10 and persisted at irregular intervals into adulthood until his incarceration.”
Initially, he envisioned it as a means to acquire a girlfriend. He perceived it as an endeavour he could undertake, although his sister could not.
Subsequently, when Colin Pitchfork acquired the ability to drive, he could select areas more broadly and perceived it as a ‘game’ to evade law enforcement.
