Editing Colin Pitchfork (section)

===2024 review===
Pitchfork challenged the Parole Board's decision on procedural grounds, and in February 2024 the Board agreed to schedule another hearing before a different panel to consider his potential release.<ref> {{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/colin-pitchfork-parole-prison-release-b2494805.html|title=Double child rapist and murderer Colin Pitchfork to have fresh parole hearing|date=12 February 2024|newspaper=The Independent|first=Rick|last=Booth}}</ref> On 16 May 2024, the Parole Board Chair, Caroline Corby, reversed an earlier decision that Pitchfork's parole hearing should be held behind closed doors; the next hearing was broadcast due to public interest. There will be a preliminary hearing behind closed doors to address "practical matters".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66461c91bd01f5ed32793d54/Application_for_a_Public_Hearing_in_the_case_of_C_Pitchfork_2024_PBPH_10__16_May_2024_.pdf|title=Application for a Public Hearing in the case of Mr Colin Pitchfork|newspaper=the Parole Board|date= May 16, 2024|access-date=August 17, 2024}}</ref>
