:00:12. > :00:16.Tonight. Don't move, don't scream. The gang who burst into
:00:16. > :00:20.neighbouring homes, terrorising two mothers and their children.
:00:20. > :00:25.Sit down and shut up. There is to way to describe how scared you are
:00:25. > :00:29.when you think somebody might do something to your kids. They bound
:00:29. > :00:34.and threatened a heavily pregnant young mother before moving next
:00:34. > :00:44.door, they attacked a 15-year-old with a machete as he tried to
:00:44. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:07.defend his mum. Now it is your Hello, and welcome to Crimewatch.
:01:07. > :01:11.We will have that unbelievable raid on a heavily pregnant woman and her
:01:11. > :01:15.neighbours in just a moment. First a quick look at tonight's other
:01:15. > :01:19.appeals. We are coming live from a studio packed with detectives, all
:01:19. > :01:22.hoping that you can help solve their cases. Including the officer
:01:23. > :01:27.leading the British review into the disappearance of Madeline McCann.
:01:27. > :01:30.We will have the very latest on the hunt for Madeline, who on Thursday
:01:30. > :01:34.will have been missing for five years.
:01:34. > :01:37.Officers from Cambridgeshire are here too, they want to know who it
:01:37. > :01:47.was that brutally murdered a retired farmer in an appalling
:01:47. > :01:49.
:01:49. > :01:52.attack. It happened just a few days I think this is a burglary gone
:01:52. > :01:59.wrong. This was a savage attack.
:01:59. > :02:04.Hey, what are you doing in my house, this is my bedroom.
:02:04. > :02:10.And Martin is back with more Wanted Faces.
:02:10. > :02:12.Tonight we have people wanted for kidnap, rape and arson, as well as
:02:12. > :02:17.incredible CCTV. This guy lost the plot because he didn't have the
:02:17. > :02:24.right change for the bus. Officers also need your help to
:02:24. > :02:30.track down the rapist who attacked a teenage girl in South-East London.
:02:30. > :02:34.I just carried on walking, then I heard footsteps behind me.
:02:34. > :02:38.J where are you going love? I felt scared and I had to do what he was
:02:38. > :02:45.saying. Awful, and Matthew is here with the
:02:45. > :02:49.chilling story of how the police caught a sadistic murderer. Sweeney
:02:49. > :02:54.is thought to have murdered and dismembered at least two of his
:02:54. > :03:00.girlfriends, hiding clues to crimes in his lurid art work. They
:03:00. > :03:04.primarily depicted women being dismembered. There were references
:03:04. > :03:07.to girlfriends of his. We ask ourself a simple question, what are
:03:07. > :03:10.the chances of him having two girlfriend who is by accident are
:03:11. > :03:14.killed by someone else. When you put together the art work and the
:03:14. > :03:18.poetry we had, our conclusion was that he was obvious low the prime
:03:18. > :03:22.suspect. And also tonight, the two raids on
:03:22. > :03:26.museums in recent weeks, targeting incredibly rare and beautiful
:03:26. > :03:33.Chinese art facts, they are worth millions. Can you name the suspects.
:03:33. > :03:40.They were caught on CCTV. But we begin tonight with that
:03:40. > :03:44.shocking raid on two neighbouring homes in the village of Wollerton
:03:44. > :03:46.in Shropshire, it happened a month ago during the Easter holidays. I
:03:46. > :03:55.should warn you that the gang responsible subjected the two
:03:55. > :04:00.mothers and their children to truly appalling levels of violence.
:04:00. > :04:07.Don't, I'm pregnant. We know you have a safe. Please don't hurt me.
:04:07. > :04:17.Some nights when you close your eyes things come back.
:04:17. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:22.Visions, images, mainly the knife. Nothing really feels real. This is
:04:22. > :04:26.Wollerton, a small village in shrorpshire, and this country lane
:04:26. > :04:30.leads to the secluded houses of two young families. But just before
:04:30. > :04:40.Easter, their peaceful lives were shattered when a gang of armed men
:04:40. > :04:44.burst into not just one, but both of their homes.
:04:44. > :04:48.We moved into the house in 2009, six weeks after my first son was
:04:48. > :04:52.born. We chose to move to this place it is nice and quiet and a
:04:52. > :05:00.good place to bring up the kids. This is where we will bring the
:05:00. > :05:07.second child up, who is due any day. For the family the morning of April
:05:07. > :05:14.5th started like any other. husband got up and got ready and
:05:14. > :05:19.went off to work as normal at 8.00am. Bye dad. But Victoria,
:05:20. > :05:23.eight months pregnant, had no idea she was being watched.
:05:23. > :05:28.I got myself and my son ready, we were going off round to my mother's,
:05:28. > :05:35.we were just about ready to leave when the dog started barking. I
:05:35. > :05:39.thought, maybe somebody at the door. Don't move! Don't scream. Please
:05:39. > :05:43.don't hurt me, I'm pregnant. are they, mummy. It's all right, me
:05:43. > :05:47.and mummy are playing a little game. Where is your money. I haven't got
:05:47. > :05:52.any money. You have a safe, don't lie? They kept asking me for a safe.
:05:52. > :05:56.And I haven't got a safe, but I was so scared that if they didn't find
:05:56. > :06:02.a safe, they would hurt me, thinking there was one. It was
:06:02. > :06:06.terrifying. You have got safe, don't lie. Tie her up. I was
:06:06. > :06:10.thinking I'm carrying a baby and I have to keep calm, I could have
:06:10. > :06:15.gone into labour. Sit down and shut up, hands behind your back, now,
:06:15. > :06:19.closer! Have you got a phone? sat down and he actually put his
:06:19. > :06:27.hands on my stomach to feel if there was anything in my pockets. I
:06:27. > :06:31.have never felt so sick in all my life. There was actually a cheque
:06:31. > :06:41.left on the side in the kitchen, when they looked at it they started
:06:41. > :06:41.
:06:41. > :06:45.asking lots of questions about who I was. What's your name? Ratherham.
:06:45. > :06:49.I I didn't understand why, it dawned on me that maybe they
:06:49. > :06:53.weren't looking for Mo. We're out of here. But the men weren't going
:06:53. > :06:57.far, having taken all of the phones, they left Victoria tied up in the
:06:57. > :07:02.nursery and headed for the house next door.
:07:02. > :07:06.Kathryn Burton's husband had already left for work. It was
:07:06. > :07:14.school holidays, their teenage daughter and 11-month-old baby were
:07:14. > :07:23.still in bed. Their 15-year-old son, Williamson, was in his room.
:07:23. > :07:31.-- Will, was in his room. (knocking and banging on door) Open this door
:07:31. > :07:40.now. I'm not joking. Get away. do it.
:07:40. > :07:43.Police or ambulance. (screaming,) Get here now. Where's
:07:43. > :07:51.the money. There's no money. I don't know what you are talking
:07:51. > :07:55.about, there is no safe. There is no safe, don't lie. Terrified and
:07:55. > :08:02.bleeding heavily, she was too dazed to take in what happened next, as
:08:02. > :08:12.her son, Will, desperately tried to help her. Get back.
:08:12. > :08:15.
:08:15. > :08:19.Get here. Get him. Where is the safe? I don't know.
:08:19. > :08:29.Taking just mobile phones and two laptops, the gang drove off in the
:08:29. > :08:37.
:08:37. > :08:41.family's Land Rover Discovery. Alerted by the attempts 999 call,
:08:41. > :08:48.police arrived minutes after the attackers had fled. But it was too
:08:48. > :08:53.late. The stolen Land Rover was found dumped 300ms down the road,
:08:53. > :08:59.with its engine still running. Police think this is where the gang
:08:59. > :09:03.swapped cars. This was a really vicious attack. Unusually, on two
:09:03. > :09:10.families with very young children. It was a very nasty attack. As you
:09:10. > :09:16.have seen, Kathryn was hit over the head with a machet year, her son
:09:16. > :09:20.who came to her assistance was hit with the same machete, was sliced
:09:20. > :09:23.down to the bone. You believe the premises were being watched?
:09:23. > :09:28.have good grounds to believe. That on the night before and the morning.
:09:29. > :09:35.We have witnesses coming forward talking of a silver saloon car in
:09:35. > :09:41.the area, with up to four men in it, possibly a Volvo S40 model. We
:09:41. > :09:47.believe that is the gettaway vehicle, it was the dumped 300ms
:09:47. > :09:50.down the road. It is terrifying beyond belief, it is so scary you
:09:51. > :09:54.don't realise what's happening until afterwards. It has clearly
:09:54. > :09:58.had an effect on her, particularly for the first few days, she was
:09:58. > :10:04.struggling to sleep, she's still quite anxious at home. Very jumpy
:10:04. > :10:08.if she hears a noise. In my mind there is only one way to cope, that
:10:09. > :10:11.is to not really believe it's happened F you think of it as a
:10:11. > :10:17.nightmare, you wake up the next morning and you get on with your
:10:17. > :10:21.life. And the only way I can deal, personally, with this situation, is
:10:21. > :10:26.by making myself believe that it never really happened. You don't do
:10:26. > :10:30.what they did to me and threaten a pregnant woman without having no
:10:30. > :10:38.conscience at all. They didn't care. And then to think that they
:10:38. > :10:41.actually went on to hurt a boy, and his mother. It is just horrendous.
:10:41. > :10:44.There is just no way to describe how scared you are when you think
:10:44. > :10:48.somebody might do something to one of your kids. Because you put your
:10:48. > :10:54.life down to protect them, you really would.
:10:54. > :10:58.Men with no conscience at all. DCI Alan Edwards from West Mercia
:10:58. > :11:03.Police joins us now. You have some pretty good e-fits, take us through
:11:03. > :11:07.them, would you? By releasing the e-fits tonight I'm making a strong
:11:07. > :11:13.appeal to the criminal community to give these men up. The first two e
:11:13. > :11:17.mits of of the same man. That is the person who has the -- e-fits is
:11:17. > :11:22.of the same man, the person who has the machete, I believe he's in
:11:22. > :11:25.charge of the group. The second one is the man with the bat during the
:11:25. > :11:30.attack. They are pretty clear pictures. You are very interested
:11:30. > :11:33.in this silver saloon car that we saw. Tell us more. The silver
:11:33. > :11:39.saloon car was seen the night before and on the morning. I need
:11:39. > :11:49.to find out where that car is. We are told it is possibly a Volvo S40,
:11:49. > :11:54.maybe a 03 or 04 plated war. I need to know where that car is. You have
:11:54. > :12:02.a map of the local area, point out the possibilities of where the
:12:02. > :12:06.attackers went? They have gone out of the village and north towards
:12:06. > :12:10.Ternhill. The main attacker had a Merseyside accent, I believe they
:12:10. > :12:14.have gone towards Liverpool. saw that there, a truly harrowing
:12:14. > :12:18.experience for these families, and their children. That gang clearly
:12:18. > :12:28.needs to be caught before they do it again. If you can help I would
:12:28. > :12:31.
:12:31. > :12:35.urge you to call us now. The number is below.
:12:36. > :12:40.The first now of tonight's Wanted Faces. We start with 36-year-old
:12:40. > :12:44.John Walker, he's wanted with conspiracy to supply cocaine and
:12:44. > :12:49.the possession of two shotguns, he was convicted in his absence and
:12:49. > :12:53.faces a sentence of 15 years. He also uses the name, James Head, has
:12:53. > :12:58.a scar on his upper lip and his links to Spain and nor way.
:12:58. > :13:03.Next is Jermaine Lewis, police want to speak to the 33-year-old over an
:13:03. > :13:07.assault, during which a woman was pistol-whipped, he also uses the
:13:07. > :13:12.name Quincey and Miller, and Brown, he has a gold tooth, scars on his
:13:12. > :13:16.face and left hand. You can't see it on the photo, his left ear is
:13:16. > :13:21.disfigured. He has connections across London and is thought to be
:13:21. > :13:26.dangerous. If you see him or know where he is, call 999 immediately
:13:26. > :13:31.This is Carl Ronald Brace, the 43- year-old is wanted after being
:13:31. > :13:35.found with 10,000 ecstacy tablets in a car park, he failed to turn up
:13:35. > :13:40.at court and was convicted in his absence, and sentenced to four
:13:40. > :13:45.years in prison. He has links in London but detectives think he
:13:45. > :13:49.could be in Spain. For now we have 29-year-old Wayne
:13:49. > :13:54.Jackson. Police want to speak to him about a few things, including
:13:54. > :14:01.absconding from prison and five burglaries. Jackson who has a
:14:01. > :14:11.Liverpudlian accent and the name L- E-A-H tattooed on his arm, has
:14:11. > :14:12.
:14:12. > :14:17.connectioned with Manchester. All of the faces are on the website.
:14:17. > :14:21.Get in touch on the addresses and numbers below.
:14:21. > :14:25.Just a few days before Christmas, the body of 76-year-old Llywelyn
:14:25. > :14:28.Thomas was found at his home in Chittering in Cambridgeshire. The
:14:28. > :14:38.retired farmer had suffered a sustained and brutal attack at the
:14:38. > :14:42.
:14:42. > :14:49.hands of intruders. Tonight police need your help to find his killers.
:14:49. > :14:54.I was approaching the house, and I saw lots of blue flashing lights.
:14:54. > :15:04.As I got closer still I saw there was lots of tape around the house.
:15:04. > :15:11.
:15:11. > :15:21.I knew something dreadful had Get off me, get off me.
:15:21. > :15:27.
:15:27. > :15:30.Get out. What are you doing? No! 13 years
:15:30. > :15:35.ago, 76-year-old Llywelyn Thomas moved from South Wales to
:15:35. > :15:38.Chittering, here in rural Cambridgeshire. After a lifetime of
:15:38. > :15:44.hard work, the retired farmer wanted to spend more time with his
:15:44. > :15:48.son Richard, but on the 17th of December last year, Llywelyn was
:15:48. > :15:53.brutally murdered in his own home, in what police believe was a
:15:53. > :15:57.burglary gone horribly wrong. My father was always smiling. If
:15:57. > :16:02.you met him in a room full of people, you wouldn't necessarily
:16:02. > :16:05.mark him out as being excessively loud or chatty or anything, but the
:16:05. > :16:11.extraordinary thing was, he was always someone that you remembered.
:16:11. > :16:17.He was a happy man. Yes, he was my father, but I would
:16:17. > :16:24.have chosen him as my friend. But we spent so much time and had so
:16:24. > :16:30.many shared interests. Llywelyn spent the afternoon of
:16:30. > :16:38.Saturday 17th of December at home, while his son, Richard, attempted
:16:38. > :16:42.to repair his car. I got this last Christmas!
:16:42. > :16:47.Later that evening, Llywelyn settled in front of the television,
:16:47. > :16:55.Richard left the house at around 7.00pm. Right dad, I'm off now,
:16:55. > :17:03.hope your numbers come up. See you tomorrow then.
:17:03. > :17:13.At 7.50pm, Llywelyn received a telephone call from a friend.
:17:13. > :17:14.
:17:14. > :17:22.it's you. The call ended at 9.24pm.
:17:22. > :17:26.That was to be the last time anyone heard from him. We don't know
:17:26. > :17:31.exactly what happened next, but police think the intruders arrived
:17:31. > :17:37.at the property some time after that phone call ended. The house is
:17:37. > :17:41.situated beside the A10 and is difficult to reach on foot, it is
:17:41. > :17:49.likely the intruders arrived by car. Detectives which the robbers may
:17:49. > :17:54.have knocked on the door before blagging their way into the house.
:17:54. > :17:59.Can I help you? Sorry to bother you, our car has overheetd, we need
:17:59. > :18:04.water for the radiator. It is a bit late. Where is the kitchen. It is
:18:04. > :18:13.over there, don't take too long, all right.
:18:14. > :18:16.Once in -- once inside one of the intruders might have distracted
:18:16. > :18:22.Llywelyn while the other one went through the house. What is certain
:18:22. > :18:28.is he suffered a vicious attack in his own bedroom. What are you doing
:18:28. > :18:33.in here! Get off me you stupid old fool.
:18:33. > :18:39.What are you doing in here. Ahhh, no.
:18:39. > :18:47.He was kicked, punched and beaten round the head with a blunt object.
:18:47. > :18:56.It was a grattuous violent a sault on a defenceless old man. --
:18:56. > :19:01.assault on a defenceless old man. The killers then stole his car. He
:19:02. > :19:07.couldn't have chosen a worse gettaway war. The car was stuck in
:19:07. > :19:11.second gear and made a noise and couldn't go above 30 miles an hour.
:19:11. > :19:16.They headed south along the A10 towards Milton. Traffic soon began
:19:16. > :19:21.to build up behind the slow-moving car. At around 10.15pm, a witness
:19:21. > :19:25.reported seeing at least two vehicles overtaking the Rover.
:19:25. > :19:35.The car turned off at the A10 towards Milton, where it was
:19:35. > :19:35.
:19:35. > :19:42.abandoned in Church Lane, some time between 10.15-1.30pm.
:19:42. > :19:46.It wasn't until a neighbour noticed Llywelyn's door open that they
:19:46. > :19:50.called the police and the body was discovered. Police believe the
:19:50. > :19:55.killers may not have set out to commit murder. This is a burglary
:19:55. > :20:00.that has gone wrong. I believe that Llywelyn probably disturbed the
:20:00. > :20:04.burglars upstairs in his house, rumaging through his property, or
:20:04. > :20:08.indeed he was dragged upstairs by the burglars to search his property.
:20:08. > :20:13.This was the room where he was found. And the levels of violence
:20:13. > :20:17.here were horrific, weren't they? This was a savage attack upon
:20:17. > :20:22.Llywelyn. We think he would have been punched in the face, he would
:20:22. > :20:26.have been struck around the back of the head with a poker or a crowbar,
:20:27. > :20:29.causing a large fracture. It is almost beyond belief. It is
:20:29. > :20:37.unbelievable that anybody would use this level of violence towards an
:20:37. > :20:41.elderly gentleman. Whoever is close to these people
:20:41. > :20:48.should see what their son, their daughter, their father, their
:20:48. > :20:53.brother, their friend has done. Because they may have done it
:20:53. > :21:03.before, they may do it again, and if neither of those is true then
:21:03. > :21:09.they just need to see what they have done to one gentle old boy.
:21:09. > :21:13.What a tragedy. DCI George Barr is with us. Mr Thomas was hit many
:21:13. > :21:19.times, very violently you think with a blunt object, you think this
:21:19. > :21:22.might be the very thing. We think Llywelyn was struck with a crowbar
:21:22. > :21:26.or poke, similar to the one you have in your hand. It is missing
:21:26. > :21:32.from the property and has not been recovered. What else was taken?
:21:32. > :21:36.Three watches were taken, a Tag Heuer watch a reproduction
:21:36. > :21:39.Breitling, and a Seiko Bellmatic watch. There is also a small coin
:21:40. > :21:43.collection missing, I would be interested to hear from anybody who
:21:43. > :21:49.has been offered those items for sale. Do you think in terms of
:21:49. > :21:55.witnesses anyone might have seen the gang arrive or leave? That is
:21:55. > :21:58.possible. We believe Mr Thomas was killed between 9.15 and 10.25pm on
:21:58. > :22:01.the 17th of December. That was the week before Christmas, the road
:22:01. > :22:05.would have been busy on that particular night. We think the
:22:05. > :22:08.offenders would have arrived by car and left. If anyone saw a vehicle
:22:08. > :22:12.at the property on that night arriving for leaving, please get in
:22:12. > :22:17.touch with us. You could maybe do with more details on the Rover 75.
:22:17. > :22:21.You have recovered it, but you need more information surrounding it?
:22:21. > :22:26.The silver Rover 75, and had a mechanical problem, and couldn't
:22:26. > :22:30.drive more than 30 miles an hour. The vehicle was seen going towards
:22:30. > :22:33.Milton, cars were backed up by that vehicle. At least two vehicles

:28:06. > :28:13.the London suburb of Chislehurst is still to come. Knowing he's still
:28:13. > :28:19.out there is quite scary. It doesn't -- it means he doesn't
:28:19. > :28:27.think about consequences and how people feel. The fascinating story

:28:38. > :28:47.You draws he draws axes in his art work, the victim sees the act and

:30:23. > :30:28.My Portuguese counterparts and I agree that Madeline McCann was
:30:28. > :30:33.taken as part of a criminal act, and there is hope she is still
:30:33. > :30:36.alive. That picture of Madeline is seared into the public

:33:44. > :33:48.meet a friend. When she was grabbed by a stranger. You will hear the

:34:23. > :34:27.Late one night in July last year, two teenage girls arranged to meet
:34:27. > :34:30.by this pond in the centre of the London suburb of Chislehurst, their

:34:52. > :34:57.a few tops and treated me to shoes and jeans, just felt like treating
:34:58. > :35:01.me for the day. We had managed to spend lots of money. We had fun, we
:35:01. > :35:05.had a God day, which actually tired me out -- a good day, which
:35:05. > :35:10.actually tired me out. She had arranged to go to her friends, I
:35:10. > :35:17.offered her a lift. She kissed me goodbye, and said she
:35:17. > :35:25.would speak to me later. Have a great evening. Thank you very much
:35:25. > :35:30.for earlier. Don't forget to text. She was looking forward to going
:35:30. > :35:35.out and meeting up with her mates, she was specifically going to
:35:35. > :35:45.babysit as well. After baby-sitting, I rang my other friend and decided
:35:45. > :35:53.
:35:53. > :35:59.to go find them. I decided to take the quickest route, I was looking
:35:59. > :36:03.around my surroundings, I saw a car parked.
:36:03. > :36:08.I just carried on walking, I didn't think anything of it. I was walking
:36:08. > :36:14.a bit further down the road, down the hill, and a man approached me
:36:14. > :36:19.and asked me if I knew where Sundayridg e park, I told him I
:36:19. > :36:23.didn't know where it was, exactly but I knew the 341 bus went there.
:36:23. > :36:28.He said thanks, and he walked off the opposite direction. I carried
:36:28. > :36:32.on walking towards Chislehurst. I just thought it was normal,
:36:32. > :36:38.asking me for directions, just didn't think anything of it at the
:36:38. > :36:43.time. My friend rang me to tell me she was by the pond in Chislehurst,
:36:43. > :36:47.and that is where she wanted me to meet her. So I carried on walking,
:36:47. > :36:53.I got quite far down, I looked to my left and saw the same car and
:36:53. > :37:03.the same man looking in the boot, looking for something.
:37:03. > :37:09.I just carried on walking, then I heard footsteps behind me. Where
:37:09. > :37:13.are you going love. Going to meet my friends, see if her OK. Yeah,
:37:13. > :37:17.get in the bushes. I felt quite scared and just that I
:37:17. > :37:27.had to do what he was saying. He was quite like aggressive in how he
:37:27. > :37:31.
:37:31. > :37:35.was saying things, then I just felt I had to go along with it.
:37:35. > :37:38.attacker raped his young victim here, in this wooded area, just off
:37:38. > :37:48.the main road. Afterwards, in a bizarre show of concern, he offered
:37:48. > :37:58.to get money from his car, so she could have her clothes cleaned.
:37:58. > :38:01.
:38:01. > :38:07.How old are you? 15. Look I'm sorry. Do you need some money. I've only
:38:07. > :38:17.got a �50. I'll go and get some change for you. All right. I don't
:38:17. > :38:20.
:38:21. > :38:24.need money. Shush. I didn't know what to do, I waited
:38:24. > :38:34.there for a couple of minutes, I realised he didn't come back, so it
:38:34. > :38:37.was my chance to go. And then I just ran down the road. There was a
:38:38. > :38:42.car, because I saw it was women in there, I thought it would be OK,
:38:42. > :38:52.then I found out it was my friend's mum, I felt really relieved, just
:38:52. > :38:55.
:38:55. > :39:00.happy that she was there. If you have any idea who did this, you
:39:00. > :39:10.need to pick up the phone. We have the offender's DNA profile, now we
:39:10. > :39:10.
:39:11. > :39:15.need a name to match it to. Every day I think about it, 100-
:39:15. > :39:22.times a day. I just broke my heart, because I
:39:23. > :39:26.think this is no way to start her grown-up years. Shush. Knowing that
:39:26. > :39:32.he's still out there is quite scary, and thinking about how it could
:39:32. > :39:42.happen to other people. Because he's obvious low quite aggressive.
:39:42. > :39:43.
:39:43. > :39:47.And doesn't really think about consequences, and how people feel.
:39:47. > :39:51.DCI Wilkinson from the Met is with us. This young girl has been
:39:51. > :39:59.through a lot. In spite of that she has given you an excellent
:39:59. > :40:03.description of this man? We are looking for a male aged five foot 1
:40:04. > :40:08.inches, in his 20s, hair blonde, medium length, and flicked at the
:40:08. > :40:15.front and short at the sides. about what he was wearing, she gave
:40:15. > :40:20.you a clear description on that? was wearing a dark-buttoned round-
:40:20. > :40:25.neck top, beige chino trousers and beige shoes. He did this sort of
:40:25. > :40:30.odd reaching out to her, offering her money to clean her clothes?
:40:30. > :40:34.offered to give her �50, that is an unusual denomination of notes to
:40:34. > :40:37.carry round. We think that could be a clue in finding out who this man
:40:37. > :40:43.is, he offered to get change from his car. What about the car, I
:40:43. > :40:48.think this is a pretty distinctive car she has given a description of.
:40:48. > :40:53.She's sure it is a Chevrolet Cruz Saloon, she saw it at Woodknoll
:40:53. > :40:58.Drive and then shortly before she was attacked in Prince Imperial
:40:58. > :41:04.Road, in the junction between Wilderness Road. You said you have
:41:04. > :41:09.the DNA? Yes, that means anybody will be eliminated from this
:41:09. > :41:14.investigation. Come forward, a dreadful thing happened to this
:41:14. > :41:19.young girl, you can help catch the man who did this. If you have been
:41:19. > :41:23.a victim of crime call Victim Support on the line below.
:41:23. > :41:29.More V-chip TV now We know how annoying it is not to
:41:29. > :41:35.have the right change for the bus. This is taking things a bit too far.
:41:35. > :41:39.It is a Friday morning in March, on board the number 29 bus in Camden
:41:39. > :41:44.Road North London. A man in a red shirt and dark jacket gets on, but
:41:45. > :41:49.he doesn't have the right fare. When he realises, the would-be
:41:49. > :41:54.passenger becomes just a little angry. He starts a fight with the
:41:54. > :42:00.safety screen and threatens the driver, before getting off. But
:42:00. > :42:05.he's not done yet. He rips the bus's wing mirror off and gets back
:42:05. > :42:13.on doord, slamming it against the screen, terrifying the driver. This
:42:13. > :42:17.behaviour terminates here. Who is Mr Angry.

:42:20. > :42:24.afternoon last August. The shopkeeper is confronted by a man
:42:24. > :42:30.with a stocking over his face, waving what looks like a handgun.
:42:30. > :42:35.He might look the part, but this robber doesn't realise the tights
:42:35. > :42:41.on his head are see through. He soon loses his nerve, fleeing
:42:41. > :42:45.emptyhanded. Name this master of disguise tonight.
:42:45. > :42:49.When it comes to sophisticated outfits, these bright sparks have
:42:49. > :42:53.done a little better. They look like a gang of workmen going about
:42:53. > :42:56.their normal business, but something's not right. This is the
:42:56. > :43:02.Olympic site in Stratford in London last October, and it is the early
:43:02. > :43:05.hours of the morning. And rather than working, these guys are
:43:05. > :43:10.thieving. After using an angle grinder, they break into containers
:43:10. > :43:16.full of valuable tools, and even nick a generator. Working together
:43:16. > :43:21.to shift it, talk about Team GB. The cost of their early morning
:43:21. > :43:23.crime spree totalled more than �14,000, make it a personal best

:43:29. > :43:35.Remember all the CCTV stays on-line until they are caught.
:43:35. > :43:38.Now to a case that we have featured several times on Crimewatch over
:43:38. > :43:42.the years. Liverpudlian John Sweeney was a carpenter and artist,
:43:42. > :43:46.working his way around Britain and Europe for decades. Take a closer
:43:46. > :43:51.look at his paintings, which reveal a shocking truth, that he was also
:43:51. > :43:58.a deranged killer, who murdered at least two of his girlfriends,
:43:59. > :44:02.before dismembering their bodies. He likes to have power and control
:44:02. > :44:07.over women. And the ultimate form of power and control is to take
:44:07. > :44:17.their lives. All of the art works and poetry that he did, everything
:44:17. > :44:24.
:44:24. > :44:28.seemed to centre around knives and axes. John Sweeney was a
:44:28. > :44:31.controlling and violent man, who foreyears moved from one volatile
:44:31. > :44:35.relation -- for years moved from one volatile relationship to
:44:35. > :44:39.another. He murdered and mutilated women in more than one country,
:44:39. > :44:48.dumping their bodies in canals. For years he got away with it. With
:44:48. > :44:53.only his lurid art work providing a true picture of his terrible crimes.
:44:53. > :44:57.In the 1980s, Sweeney was in a relationship with former American
:44:57. > :45:02.model Melissa Halstead, they travelled all over Europe together
:45:02. > :45:06.for many years. Melissa obviously loved Sweeney, it was reciprocated
:45:06. > :45:09.by him. She was trying to establish herself as a fashion photographer,
:45:09. > :45:13.because he lived some what a Bohemian lifestyle, a lot of women
:45:13. > :45:19.would have been attracted to that, he was well travelled, you can see
:45:19. > :45:23.why Melissa and other women would have been attracted to him.
:45:23. > :45:29.Melissa soon fell in love with Sweeney, but it wasn't long before
:45:29. > :45:33.his controlling and violent side was exposed.
:45:33. > :45:38.There was certainly three occasions when he was convicted of assaulting
:45:38. > :45:42.Melissa, and between 1987 and 1988, on each occasion that he was
:45:42. > :45:46.actually convicted of assaulting Melissa, he would plead forgiveness
:45:46. > :45:51.to her, she, unfortunately took him back.
:45:51. > :45:55.Although she hardly spoke to her family in America, Melissa would
:45:55. > :46:01.always call home on her mother's birthday. Hi mom, it is Melissa, I
:46:01. > :46:05.called to wish you a happy birthday, have a great time and take care of
:46:05. > :46:13.yourself. That answer phone message in 1989 would be the last time her
:46:13. > :46:18.family ever heard from her. Then in 1990 a woman's body was
:46:18. > :46:21.found in a canal in Rotterdam, the victim had been brutally killed,
:46:21. > :46:25.and her head and feet removed. Making identification almost
:46:25. > :46:31.impossible. The Dutch had obviously started an
:46:31. > :46:35.investigation having found those remains in 1990, in Rotterdam. It
:46:36. > :46:38.was as a result of inquiries that they did, trawling through missing
:46:38. > :46:41.persons inquiries, their investigation came to a halt.
:46:41. > :46:45.Within a couple of months of that investigation starting up, it was
:46:45. > :46:48.wound down, and concluded, because they didn't have any lines of
:46:48. > :46:52.inquiry. By then the one man who did know the identity of the victim
:46:52. > :46:59.had moved back to London. Sweeney had begun a new
:46:59. > :47:05.relationship with an Australian nurse, Delia Barma. And once again,
:47:05. > :47:10.he soon became violent. Delia, yet again, I would have described her
:47:10. > :47:15.as a vulnerable individual, he had actually attacked her in her home.
:47:15. > :47:19.You women just lie all the time, I'm sick of it, do you hear me. I'm
:47:19. > :47:23.sick of it. At the time he had actually threatened to kill her, it
:47:23. > :47:28.was only through her screams that a neighbour heard and came to her
:47:28. > :47:34.assistance. He's upstairs, he's trying to kill me.
:47:34. > :47:39.Following the attack on Delia, they found a hold-all that contained
:47:39. > :47:43.ropes and a knife and other items. Although Sweeney was arrested for
:47:43. > :47:50.the attack on Delia, he was released on bail. Free again, he
:47:50. > :47:53.hunted her down. You didn't expect to see me did you Delia.
:47:53. > :47:57.The frenzied attack with an axe almost killed her, she was only
:47:57. > :48:03.saved by a neighbour, who caught off Sweeney with a baseball bat,
:48:03. > :48:08.knowing the game was up, he went on the run. He had inflicted that many
:48:08. > :48:12.injuries on her, she had the tips of her fingers removed, and a
:48:12. > :48:16.pubgtturd lung, and it is only luck she wasn't killed. I'm sure if she
:48:16. > :48:20.was, she would have been another victim, for a better word. Delia
:48:20. > :48:24.told us that he had confessed to her that he had killed an American
:48:24. > :48:28.girlfriend of his by the name of Melissa. And that he had disposed
:48:28. > :48:34.of the remains some time back in the early 1990s. Sweeney still
:48:34. > :48:42.wanted for the brutal attack on Delia Barma, had, by 2001, been on
:48:42. > :48:46.the run for eight years. But it was then, that two boys, fishing on the
:48:46. > :48:51.Regent's Canal in London made a gruesome new discovery. It was
:48:51. > :49:01.another body, just like the one in Rotterdam, had its head, arms and
:49:01. > :49:02.
:49:02. > :49:07.legs se verd. The taurpaulen -- tarpaulin marks
:49:07. > :49:13.the site where the police found human remains. The victim was Paula
:49:13. > :49:20.Fields, a mother of three, originally from Liverpool. From an
:49:20. > :49:24.early stage we thought we had the prime suspect for that prime, and
:49:24. > :49:34.that suspect was John Sweeney. They both came from Liverpool and both
:49:34. > :49:35.
:49:35. > :49:40.had a relationship. But they had different lifestyles and ultimately
:49:40. > :49:43.Sweeney thought she was more of a nuisance than a help to him. Months
:49:43. > :49:47.after the discovery of the body, Sweeney's eight years on the run
:49:47. > :49:50.finally came to an end, he was arrested at a south London building
:49:50. > :49:59.site and his violent and murderous past was soon unravelled by
:49:59. > :50:09.detectives. When Sweeney was arrested, two loaded firearms were
:50:09. > :50:15.recovered, along with a lot of artwork and poetry. They primarily
:50:15. > :50:19.depicted women being dismembered. They were references to girlfriend
:50:19. > :50:24.of his, in particular Delia and Melissa. There was one that
:50:24. > :50:29.depicted that said "good night Vienna". We understand what that
:50:29. > :50:34.means, there was another poem that said "poor Melissa, chopped her up
:50:34. > :50:38.in bits, and feed to the fishes". The artwork is clearly
:50:38. > :50:42.autobiograical, there are dates and places in the artwork, there are
:50:42. > :50:46.weapons that he has used in the artwork as well as people he has
:50:46. > :50:52.had a relationship with. I think some of the artwork also reveals
:50:52. > :51:02.issues about other victim that is may be out there. Also look
:51:02. > :51:05.
:51:05. > :51:09.particularly at the axe, he draws axes repeatedly in his artwork. It
:51:09. > :51:14.is something about axes and knives, rather than guns, that he would
:51:14. > :51:18.have access to. The victim would be touched by him holding the axe, the
:51:18. > :51:21.victim would see it and be terrorised by it. At around this
:51:21. > :51:26.time Dutch police re-opened the case of the body found in Rotterdam,
:51:26. > :51:31.as part of a wider review of unsolved murders. When they tested
:51:31. > :51:34.against Melissa's DNA, it was a perfect match. Officers were
:51:34. > :51:39.convinced that Sweeney had to be responsible for killing both
:51:39. > :51:43.Melissa and Paula. When you look at the circumstances
:51:43. > :51:48.surrounding Melissa being found, and we are obviously then aware
:51:49. > :51:53.that Paula Fields, who was also in a relationship with him, we ask
:51:53. > :51:56.ourselves a simple question, what are the chances of him having two
:51:56. > :52:00.girlfriends who are by accident killed by someone else. When you
:52:00. > :52:03.put together the artwork and poetry we had, our conclusion was that he
:52:03. > :52:09.was obviously the prime suspect. found torsos, but we have not found
:52:09. > :52:14.the heads, the hands, the feet in some occasions. Clearly those body
:52:14. > :52:18.parts held a greater psychological significance for Sweeney. He very
:52:18. > :52:21.clearly disposed of those body parts, so they wouldn't be found.
:52:21. > :52:27.It is a way of expressing his dominance, his control, his power
:52:27. > :52:29.over those victims, even though they are dead.
:52:30. > :52:35.Despite the circumstantial evidence of Sweeney having close
:52:35. > :52:40.relationships with both women, and the lurid artwork, hinting at their
:52:40. > :52:46.murders, Sweeney denied everything. No comment. During the trial, the
:52:46. > :52:53.court was shown some of his macarbre artwork, the prosecution
:52:53. > :52:57.were convinced it revealed Sweeney's true state of mind, and
:52:58. > :53:02.disposed his demonic thirst for violence. It worked, the jury found
:53:02. > :53:06.him guilty of killing Melissa and Paula. He will never be released.
:53:06. > :53:14.It was a challenging investigation, when we didn't have the pro-verbal
:53:14. > :53:18.smoking gun in terms of forensic issues. When you put together the
:53:18. > :53:21.documentary artwork and poetry he had done, you could say in essence
:53:21. > :53:25.that was a confession, and ultimately resulted in him being
:53:25. > :53:28.convicted. He will never be released? No, he
:53:28. > :53:31.was given a whole life sentence, the judge said the murders, the
:53:31. > :53:35.mutilation, the fact that many of the body parts have never been
:53:35. > :53:39.recovered, all added greatly to the distress of the families. He will
:53:39. > :53:43.never get out, Sweeney will die in prison. I remember the night the
:53:43. > :53:47.Dutch detectives came here to appeal. They came here, and the
:53:47. > :53:50.next day Scotland Yard detectives went there to do an appeal. Despite
:53:50. > :53:58.the murders being in different countries, they optd in the end for
:53:58. > :54:00.one trial. That is unusual, prosecutors used a law from 1861,
:54:01. > :54:04.from the Offences against the Persons Act, which allows the UK
:54:04. > :54:09.national to be put on trial for murder anywhere in the world in
:54:09. > :54:17.this country. That was crucial, they could say to the jury what are
:54:17. > :54:24.the chances of a person's partner being murdered and dismeasured -
:54:24. > :54:27.dismembered and that to happen him twice. They are searching for other
:54:27. > :54:30.girlfriends and psychologists think it is highly likely as do the
:54:30. > :54:36.police. Just over two weeks ago a gang
:54:36. > :54:40.broke into Cambridge University's Fitzwilliam Museum, they stole
:54:40. > :54:44.incredibly valuable Chinese antiquity, some dating back to the
:54:44. > :54:51.14th century. Tonight detectives are urgently asking for your help
:54:51. > :54:56.to recover them. This sounds like it was a very
:54:56. > :54:59.well-planned burglary? Yes, the Fitzwilliam university museum in
:54:59. > :55:06.Cambridge houses several major collections, some of these items
:55:06. > :55:09.were amongst the finest. It is 7.30pm on Friday 13th of April, a
:55:09. > :55:13.gang managed to force its way into the museum. Once inside they stole
:55:13. > :55:16.a number of items from the glass cabinets and left within minutes.
:55:16. > :55:20.I'm confident that this was targeted as the offenders clearly
:55:20. > :55:24.knew what they were looking for. Take us through briefly some of
:55:24. > :55:28.these very, very beautiful as well as valuable items? There were 18
:55:29. > :55:34.items in total stolen. It is impossible to put an absolute value
:55:34. > :55:40.in them, it runs into the millions. Some of the items stolen were from
:55:40. > :55:47.the mink dynasty, six of them -- ming dynasty, six of them from
:55:47. > :55:51.there. You have a carved horse, a green and brown elephant and a Jade
:55:51. > :55:56.buffalo, these items may have already been offered for sale
:55:56. > :56:00.internationally or may be in the UK. Look's look at the CCTV, what are
:56:00. > :56:04.we looking at? Four males approaching the back of the museum,
:56:04. > :56:09.around the time of the burglary. I'm confident that somebody knows
:56:09. > :56:15.these people. I would ask them to contact us to identify them. Also
:56:15. > :56:20.the van, briefly? The van was captured on CCTV in the lane at the
:56:20. > :56:25.back of the museum, 7.30pm, the vehicle was stolen from London. I
:56:25. > :56:28.would ask anybody who knows where it is now to get in touch with us.
:56:28. > :56:31.People can take a closer look on the website.
:56:31. > :56:36.Astonishingly only a few weeks before that, another similar
:56:36. > :56:40.burglary took place, this time it was at Durham University, where
:56:40. > :56:45.round about �2 million worth of Chinese art facts were stolen. The
:56:45. > :56:49.thieves cut a hole in the wall to get in. Thankfully the stolen items
:56:49. > :56:53.have already been recovered. Durham Police are not linking the raid to
:56:53. > :56:59.the one at the Fitzwilliam Museum, they have released an image of the
:56:59. > :57:04.man they want to trace in connection with the Durham theft.
:57:04. > :57:09.He's Justin Oliver Clarke, believed to be in the West Midlands area. If
:57:09. > :57:12.you can help call on the number. Now it is last quick update on what
:57:12. > :57:18.has come in on the phones. We have had some excellent
:57:18. > :57:21.information come through, let's start with the violent attack in
:57:21. > :57:25.Wollerton in Shropshire, 30 calls coming through, excellent
:57:25. > :57:29.information on the silver Volvo, detectives want to pin things down
:57:29. > :57:33.to the e-fits. In Bath the violent attack, we have names, we need the
:57:33. > :57:36.man in the photograph to get in contact. That is all we have time
:57:36. > :57:41.for, don't forget that awful tonight's reconstructions and
:57:41. > :57:45.wanted faces and CCTV stay on-line until they are caught. The phone
