flag UK denies Colin Pitchfork parole, citing ongoing risk and new misconduct allegation.

flag The Parole Board has denied Colin Pitchfork, the first person convicted using DNA evidence, release from prison, stating he remains a risk to the public due to poor insight, limited internal controls, and a history of violent behavior. flag The 65-year-old, sentenced to life in 1988 for the rape and murders of two 15-year-old girls, was denied transfer to an open prison after a four-day review found a fresh allegation of sexual misconduct toward a younger prisoner credible. flag His 2021 release was revoked after he breached license conditions, and a prior 2023 release decision was blocked by the justice secretary. flag No professional witnesses supported his release, and victims were allowed to observe the hearings as part of recent transparency reforms.
