[FACTUNTHJU]

They should release him into the hands of the families of the two girls he killed

[MrDalby57]

the guy gets 30 years thats the lifes of the two girls he should be hung drawn and quartered........god bless linda and dawn

[TheDotty40]

this sick bastard took his daughter along for the ride when he killed this young girls....he was always fucked up...used to jump off sheds dressed all in black to try and scare us... also used to flash his bits out of his lounge window...sick fuck...yes he is a local lad...his mum ran the scouts so he constantly had young people around him who he would flash..sick fuck!

It doesn't matter what he does in prison, he murdered a raped two innocent girls.  I am not someone who endorses the death penalty but for this crime, he should at least lose his liberty for the rest of his life. No question. Who cares whether he transcribes music into braile or contributes to society from inside.. Dawn and Linda would have made a bigger contribution to society than that should they have been allive! Let's never lose sight of that please

While people such as Pitchfork may improve their attitude, it is fair to say that it is always too soon to tell if they have in fact changed because people do not forgive this sort their heinous crimes. Sir Thomas More lost his head for an alleged crime against the people of England. This preserved the integrity of the legal system at that time. In these times we are faced with hope for progress. God will have the final say at the end of time not man. Long live Her Majesty, The Queen of England.

These sociopathic criminals can never be "reformed" .

When Colin Pitchfork started undergoing psychiatric treatment following his conviction, he described it as - 'a waste of time.....those people are quite happy if you tell them what they want to hear.......I can't believe how easy it is to spin yarns to these people'.
