A notorious Wigan double killer has admitted to making a prison break.
A public appeal was made by police as they combed the North West, eventually catching up with him in Horwich on May 28, just six miles from his home town of Hindley and just two miles from the boundaries of Wigan borough from which he is banned.
A man and a woman were also detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. They have since been released under investigation as inquiries continue. Pilkington was brought up from the cells at court to admit to the single charge of absconding from prison.Carly’s father, Trevor, said: “I am glad that this matter has been dealt with swiftly and he is back behind bars where he belongs.Pilkington became Carly’s pen friend, much to her parents’ dismay, while serving his sentence for the manslaughter of Mr Akister. On release they became partners.
It was an abusive relationship, details of which Carly kept from family. Eventually he fatally injured her by pushing her downstairs during a row.
