Now the news now for the East Midlands. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
A Leicestershire mum says she fears the man who killed her daughter has | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Colin Pitchfork was given a life sentence in 1988, | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
for the rape and murder of 15-year olds Linda Mann and Dawn Ashworth. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
But he's been moved now to an open prison. | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
It was the first time DNA profiling had ever been used | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
After thousands of men were screened by police, | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
Colin Pitchfork was caught and given 30 years in prison but now his | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
conditions have been relaxed and families of the victims | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
I'm very fearful because in my eyes it is his first | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
I believe he should never have had freedom. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
How can a man who has done what he did, change? | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
It does not change the fact that he is a child killer. | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
In 2009, his life tariff was reduced by two years | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
because of his exceptional progress while in custody. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
But Cath and her family have continued to campaign | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
She says the prospect gives her sleepless nights. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
People will not recognise him now and so he thinks he's safe. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
I think he'll come back eventually and I shan't know him. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
If he walked alongside me, I would not know him and he'd know me. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
In a letter to the Leicestershire South MP, Alberto Costa, | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
the Justice Minister Sam Gyimah has said Pitchfork's release | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
I think there are some crimes that are so heinous that you have to ask | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
whether it is ever right to release an individual. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
What I am doing in my job as a member of Parliament is to make | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
sure the Ministry of Justice and the Prison service | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
are doing their job to safeguard the people of South Leicestershire | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
and indeed the people of our country. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
The parole board is due to review the case again in early 2018. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Five men have been arrested by police investigating more | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
than 60 reports of damage to cars in Leicestershire. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Tyres were slashed and windows smashed last weekend in areas | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
including Thrussington, Glenfield, Frisby on the | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
The men have been bailed pending further enquiries. | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
The global response to Brexit has been partly blamed for delaying | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
a memorial to airmen killed above Nottinghamshire. | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
The tribute is for forty airmen who died in crashes around Bleasby | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Right, boys and girls, come on, this way please. | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
The village has taken the memorial to its heart, | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
it is already a primary school project and the schoolchildren | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
recently dressed up to experience life as an evacuee. | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Parts of the wreckage of a Wellington bomber which crashed | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
near the school were recovered by a farmer. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
The memorial was meant to be in place in September | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
We originally had 19 young airmen who were killed | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
here in three incidents, but we've had more information from | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
We now know we had seven crashes and 40 young airmen who were killed. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
The cost has gone up from six to ?8,000. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
The granite is imported from India and priced in US dollars. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Since the Brexit vote, the exchange rate has gone down | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
by 15% so that has probably added ?1000 to the cost of the memorial. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Additional costs are due to the additional names we've | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
discovered being put on the memorial. | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
The memorial should be unveiled in two years on the 75th anniversary | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Let's check on the weather now - Lucy has our forecast | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
It was another agree on murky start to the day today. | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
Plenty visible on the satellite picture. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
The luckier of us just managed to catch the odd right interlude. | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Through this evening and overnight, we continue on a similar theme. | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
That cloud thickening up to produce one or two spots | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Temperatures falling to an overnight low of between five and 7 degrees. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
A relatively mild start to the day tomorrow. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
Plenty of cloud around before we see this band of rain coming | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
I think that could bring more in the wake of a breeze. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Temperatures reaching a maximum of nine Celsius. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
As we move into Tuesday, it will be another cool night. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
Moving through the week, the temperatures drop off | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
We are back tomorrow at 6:25am. Goodnight. | :04:51. | :05:11. | |
Good evening. Rain around for all of us over the next 24-hour. Then it | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
will turn colder later on this week. There will be frost and some snow | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
around. I must stress this cold spell will be nothing out of the | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
ordinary and nothing in comparison to the severe cold that other parts | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
of Europe have experienced over the last few days. A wet start today for | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland. Wet and windy. The rain will head its | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
way southwards and eastwards across the UK during the course of the day. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Turning up across the southern and eastern areas. Not a nice end to the | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
day. Heavy bursts of rain in the south-east and east Anglia in the | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
afternoon | :05:54. | :05:54. |
