A serial rapist who destroyed lives across Greater Manchester has been recalled to prison just six WEEKS after being released. Andrew Barlow, formerly known as Andrew Longmire, was handed 13 life sentences for his evil crimes but was allowed out of jail after 34 years.
Now aged 66, the Bolton predator was taken to a Probation Service hostel by police escort on March 6th this year after his release. But he is now back in prison for breach of his licence conditions and due to his behaviour, the Manchester Evening News can reveal. It has been assessed that the risk he poses is now not manageable in the community.
The development has angered victims and the families of Barlow who campaigned to keep him behind bars with the help of veteran Manchester MP, Graham Stringer. As previously reported in the Manchester Evening News, Barlow's release was delayed after the then Justice Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab, asked the Parole Board to reconsider its decision.
