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
