Today"KILLER" in plea for freedom(Leicester Mercury Dec

Saturday, March 21, 2009, 09:30Comment on this story
The mother of murdered schoolgirl Lynda Mann today makes
an emotional plea to the judge who holds the future of her
daughter's killer in his hands.
In an open letter, Kath Eastwood has told the appeal court
judge: "Colin Pitchfork is a double child killer – he should
never be freed."
The 60-year-old mum goes on to say: "He is a devious,
cunning, evil man with no regard for human life. He is
where he deserves to be. He should stay there.
"My feelings of loss and despair are there every day. It's like
an ache that never quite goes away.''
It is a letter that Kath hopes will keep her daughter's killer
behind bars.
It is 25 years since Lynda Mann was raped and murdered by
the sadistic child killer.
Three years later, he struck again – killing 15-year-old Dawn
Ashworth in similar circumstances.
Pitchfork, a father of two, was given two life sentences in
January 1988. Now, though, he is planning an appeal for his
release.
On April 30, his case is due to be heard by the Court of
Appeal at the Royal Courts of Justice, in London. His legal
team are to argue that Pitchfork is a changed man, that the
past 21 years in jail have rehabilitated him and that he
presents no risk to society.
If the judge agrees, then convicted killer Pitchfork could
walk free.
Both Pitchfork's solicitor Peter Jackson, of Worcestershire-
based Atter Mckenzie, and his barrister Quincy Whitaker,
refused to comment on the appeal.
Neighbourhood Watch groups in Leicestershire have written
to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith to demand that Pitchfork is
kept behind bars.
A survey undertaken by the county's Neighbourhood Watch
groups found that 95 per cent of people said Pitchfork
should not be released. The remaining five per cent did not
know enough about the case to comment.
Roy Rudham, of the Neighbourhood Watch Association,
said: "It is quite clear what people's views are. I think it is
offensive to people that his release is even being
considered."
Kath Eastwood, a quiet and private woman, has given the
Mercury permission to publish her letter in the hope it will
galvanise public opinion and help to de-rail Pitchfork's legal
bid for freedom.
"I can't let the judge just hear his version of events," said
Kath. "He needs to know how this has affected me and my
family, too. Colin Pitchfork should never be allowed out."
