Sick child killer Colin Pitchfork could be moved from his bail hostel for his own safety after vigilantes named the location online, the Central Recorder Sunday can reveal.<\/p>\n
In the days ahead, Pitchfork will be transferred from bail hostel to avoid being attacked by double murderer and serial rapist. <\/p>\n
His exact location was kept secret.<\/p>\n
It was released this week after he was seen in the area.<\/p>\n
In response to posts naming his location, one revenge-seeker said: \u201cHe should be dead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cShould have been strung up, evil bastard.\u201d<\/p>\n
A source told the Central Recorder Sunday: \u201cThe authorities are aware of the comments and the situation is now being closely monitored.\u201d <\/p>\n Pitchfork \u2013 who has changed his name \u2013 was released from jail earlier this month after 33 years behind bars. <\/p>\n He raped Lynda, 15, and killed Dawn Ashworth (also 15, in Narborough in Leics in 1983). Dawn Ashworth was also 15 in Enderby, in 1986. He is currently being held in a residential unit in south England with other offenders. <\/p>\n If he feels his safety is in danger, he may be transferred by probation and police chiefs.<\/p>\n Pitchfork is subject to 43 tough licence conditions \u2013 36 more than the average freed convict \u2013 to protect the public. <\/p>\n He is under a night-time curfew on the premises and is also tested for drugs or alcohol.<\/p>\n Pitchfork\u2019s conditions include electronic tagging and lie-detector tests, and he must provide details of any vehicle he owns.<\/p>\n Pitchfork is prohibited from going to the crime scene and must inform probation officers if he has any close relationships. <\/p>\n Pitchfork was the first to be convicted of murder using DNA. He was sentenced to life in 1988.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
