Double child killer Colin Pitchfork, who was previously let out and then recalled for approaching women in the street, can be released from prison, the Parole Board has said.
He was jailed for life after raping and strangling 15-year-olds Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth in Leicestershire in 1983 and 1986.
He was the first man convicted on DNA evidence after a lengthy investigation involving the taking of genetic evidence from thousands of men.
In 2021, Pitchfork was released in June and then arrested and recalled to prison five months later after approaching young women in the street.
The parole board said it had determined it "was no longer necessary for the protection of the public for Mr Pitchfork to remain confined and thereby directed his release".
It said his release would be subject to the following licence conditions:
. To comply with requirements to reside at a designated address, to be of good behaviour, to surrender his passport, to disclose developing relationships, and to report as required for supervision or other appointments
. To submit to an enhanced form of supervision or monitoring including GPS tagging, signing-in times, a specified curfew and disclosure of any vehicle
. To comply with other identified limitations concerning contacts, activities, residency and an exclusion zone to avoid contact with victims, women and children
. To meet extensive specified restrictions relating to the use of electronic
technology
. To continue to work on addressing defined areas of risk in the community
Alberto Costa, MP for South Leicestershire, said he was "deeply disappointed" by the decision and said he would write to justice secretary Alex Chalk to ask that he seek an "immediate and urgent review".
The Conservative backbencher wrote on Twitter: "It is simply unthinkable that a man who committed such egregious crimes should ever be released, and I will be asking the Government to challenge this decision in the strongest possible terms."
He added: "this man still presents a very real danger to the public".
