A notorious rapist who was once branded Britain's most wanted man is back on the streets despite receiving 13 life sentences. Andrew Barlow has spent time out of prison as he prepares for his release next month, it has been revealed.
Barlow, formerly Andrew Longmire, was dubbed 'The Coronation Street rapist' as most of his victims were attacked in their own terraced homes in the north of England. His crimes saw him given multiple life sentences with a fixed 20-year tariff after being convicted of 11 rapes, three attempted rapes, indecent assault, and using a firearm to resist arrest.
The Parole Board has now confirmed his imminent release, the MEN reports - and a summary of the reasons why he is being granted his freedom after 34 years in custody reveals he has already had a taste of freedom.
