We would like to make clear that no physical “alert” had been “issued”, but rather the possibility of Pitchfork being freed as a result of a new parole hearing, had caused alarm. We are happy to clarify this and apologise for the error. The headline has been amended accordingly to now read “Sick child killer Colin Pitchfork must not be freed, warns MP as parole hearing date fixed” and can be found here: [www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2014824/child-rapist-killer-colin-pitchfork-parole-board]
