Mark Randolph Dyer and his partner, Clare, allege that four residents of Brook, the hamlet where they live in a £2.6 million home in the Surrey Hills, have ruined their lives.

In Leicestershire between 1983 and 1986, Pitchfork (left and right) was sentenced to life for raping and strangling two 15-year-old girls, Lynda Mann (bottom inset) and Dawn Ashworth (top inset). He was eventually found and became the first person to be charged using DNA evidence after he had been able to escape capture by coerding a work colleague to perform a blood test for him during the murder hunt. The 63-year-old predator was released in September 2021 after 33 years in prison before being arrested and sent back to jail two months later for admitting to approaching a lone female in violation of his license laws. Following a private hearing in April, the Parole Board has ruled that Pitchfork can be released and that it is no longer necessary for the protection of the public's interests to have a second child killer in jail.

Lynda Mann (inset, bottom) and Dawn Ashworth (inset, top) in Leicestershire in 1983 and 1986 were sentenced to prison for raping and strangling 15-year-old girls. He was eventually found and became the first person to be convicted using DNA evidence after attempting to escape capture by coerding a coworker to perform a blood test for him during the murder hunt. The 63-year-old hunter, who now goes by the name David Thorpe, was jailed for at least 30 years after being jailed for at least 30 years for his sickening offenses. Now the Parole Board has approved Pitchfork's release, claiming that it was "no longer necessary for the protection of the public" to hold him jailed. The killer's seven-page report, which was seen by MailOnline, outlined 'protective factors' that could reduce the possibility of reoffending, as well as the help Mr Pitchfork receives from his partner and from his families.' However, the step sparked a tumultuous reaction from Barbara Ashworth, Dawn Ashworth's mother, who said, "It's diabolical." He's bound to have an urge, but we have no idea what's on his mind.'
