Editing Colin Pitchfork (section)

==Crimes==
On November 21<sup>st</sup>, 1983, 15-year-old Lynda Mann took a shortcut home from her babysitting job, and was attacked by Pitchfork, who raped her and strangled her to death. Her body was discovered the following day, and police officers managed to extract a semen sample and confirmed via testing that it could only have come from 10% of males, but were unable to identify Pitchfork as the attacker as DNA profiling had not been developed yet. The case was subsequently left on file as a result.<ref name=Scotsman>[https://www.scotsman.com/news/crime/colin-pitchfork-child-killer-colin-pitchfork-to-be-released-from-prison-who-is-colin-pitchfork-how-old-is-he-now-3264248 Everything you need to know about child murderer Colin Pitchfork and his release from prison on parole], The Scotsman</ref>

On July 31<sup>st</sup>, 1986, 15-year-old Dawn Ashworth was attacked by Pitchfork, who beat her, raped her and strangled her to death. The police concluded that the same person had killed Mann and Ashworth, as the ''modus operandi'' was the same and the blood type and enzymes came from the same 10% of males, but still did not have the DNA profiling to identify Pitchfork.<ref name=Scotsman/>
