A victim of Greater Manchester's most notorious rapist has said he should never be released. And the woman, who was raped by Andrew Longmire in 1987 believes he has changed his name to that of a character in Coronation Street to mock his 13 victims.
Longmire, now 66, who has changed his surname to Barlow, and was once branded Britain's most wanted man, has already spent time out of prison as he prepares for release. He was given multiple life sentences in October 1988 after being convicted of 11 rapes; three attempted rapes; indecent assault; and using a firearm to resist arrest.
His tariff was fixed at 20 years. In the decades that followed, Barlow was linked to more offending, as two previously unsolved cases were cracked and he was given two further life sentences in 2010 and 2017.
