'I don't care about his age... there is no way this man is safe': Victim of Greater Manchester's worst serial rapist says he should never be released
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.
Now another of his victims has told the Manchester Evening News she believes Barlow should remain behind bars for a full life term. She was raped by him in her home in Greater Manchester in the 1980s. "We - the 13 of us - are serving the life sentences. He should never come out. He would come out to a world that he does not really know and that could send him over the edge.
The victim added: "I have submitted an appeal against his release. I hope others to do. People have until January 10th to do so. Barlow was moved to an open prison in 2021 but the following year was returned to a closed prison, which is surely an indication that not everything was right, now he is being released. In my opinion as he recieved thirteen life sentences. Life should be life."
Mr Stringer has written to the Chief Executive of the Parole Board expressing his concerns that several of the victims were not informed. In his letter he says that he his writing on behalf of a consituent whose close relative was a victim of Barlow. He writes: "My constituent is concerned that his has not been informed that Andrew Barlow is likely to be released in the near future and she has not been informed of this. She has only learned about this matter from the press.
The Parole Board has now confirmed Barlow's imminent release - but 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.
