@chai2,
Chai, she was in her 60's at the time this occured, me, I think 30's early. I think it was the fear of two guys chasing a woman, not knowing ( based on her card to me) what else may have happened to her, punched, stabbed etc that made her do that.
I think the reason really this thread even appeared was due to Dutchy mentioning this, situation re BBC.. Which reminded me of the time I was attacked and then the time I was there for someone, coupled with the thread I read.

On reading up on more, I noticed someone had shared another link "now removed" due to legalities. Whereby the said murderer, had another charge on drinking and assulting..
The video footage of him, and obviously finger prints got him caught.
The fact there is such a likeness to the photo sketch of the woman who was raped but not murdered as she got away, but thought that she would be, is errie, such likeness. A serial rapist, whom perhaps caught on who this woman was " I work for BBC", reporter etc maybe he therefore murdered her in fear or maybe he's not just a serial rapist, but a serial murder.
Just for the record, the guy that got me when I was 18, as I duly told Dutchy without concern, shirt happens in life, was a pimp... I didn't know that, he might have been the same type of person, rape, murder.
Gawd, drugged and working for a brothel and then sent to Manilla which was the thing in those days, I am also lucky.
I'm cool at discussing any of this, like I said, I have little fear.
I will be watching this one and see if I am right, that he was a serial rapist and I think committed his first murder.
Where is Firefly and Hawk... lols... I know this is Australian but I think it got to me and bought back some memories, good and bad.
