Double child killer Colin Pitchfork has been arrested and recalled to prison, the Ministry of Justice has said.
It comes two months after he was released from jail.
Pitchfork was returned to custody on Friday over a breach of his licence conditions, and his re-release will be a matter for the Parole Board, it is understood.
A Probation Service spokesperson said: “Protecting the public is our number one priority so when offenders breach the conditions of their release and potentially pose an increased risk, we don’t hesitate to return them to custody.”
