In 2022, Darren Pilkington absconded from Kirkham Open Prison and was on the run for three days
The parents of a teenager killed when she was pushed down the stairs by a career criminal have slammed a decision to release him from prison.
Career criminal Pilkington has spent 18 years in and out of high security jails for failing to abide by strict release conditions. When he was allowed to stay in an open prison in 2022, he absconded and went on the run for three days. Despite the slew of offences, the Parole Board has recommended that he is fit to leave prison and live in a bail hostel, monitored with an electronic tag and subject to a curfew.Mr Fairhurst said: "The parole board has made a bad decision seven times.
Pilkington, who now goes by Darren Carr, was given a sentence of imprisonment for public protection after he was caged over Carly's death. This meant he only had to serve a minimum sentence of little more than three years before he could start repeatedly trying to prove he was fit for release. but a parole hearing earlier this year decided that he should be released on licence, subject to strict conditions. These included living at a designated address, keeping away from the exclusion zone, staying on the right side of the law and submitting to enhanced supervision, including a curfew and electronic tracking.
