The mystery murder victim revealed. Once we get to the name, we can work | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
on who'd be responsible and why would they want to have killed him. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
The pensioner beaten to death at his home. And sex attacks on students. | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
Live from the heart of North Wales, this is Crimewatch. | :00:29. | :00:50. | |
Good evening and welcome to the last in this series of Crimewatch. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Tonight, we're coming to you live from stunning Llyn Brenig | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Just across the water from here, the remains | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
But first, Tina Daheley is here with what else | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
These officers are ready for your calls on our latest | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
We also need to know who fatally stabbed teenager Andrew Oteng-Owusu | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Plus, we'll have the story of how detectives caught a sadistic | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
murderer targeting people at random in the Essex town of Colchester. | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
Two young people have been brutally murdered within the same town. The | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
first murder was incredibly unusual for Colchester. To have a second | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
murder in less than three months was extraordinary. You can feel the | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
sense of fear within the local community. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
In November last year, two brothers, camping in the woods just behind me, | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
The body had been there for sometime, but it was clear | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
Detectives began to build a picture of who this might be and, | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
just last month, had a major breakthrough. | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
Each year, the stunning, rugged landscape of North Wales, | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
plays host to motor sport event- Wales Rally GB. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
In November, as it approached the south of Conwy, two brothers | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
I have been going to the rally every year probably | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
Big rally fans, I'd only been a couple of times | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
when I was younger, so I came up to watch it with him. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
So we came into the woods to find somewhere suitable | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
to have a little fire, just to have a few beers. | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
Mark went off to find some firewood for the fire and found something. | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
Walked about 10 to 15 yards away from my brother, | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
And on closer inspection, realised they were human remains. | :03:13. | :03:33. | |
We received a call to say that two brothers had made a discovery of | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
what they believed to be human remains. We sent local officers to | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
make an assessment. They concluded that it was part of a human body. We | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
had to set a strategy to ensure that we maximised all available forensic | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
recovery from this location. It was a painstaking examination. The body | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
was fully decomposed. Over a period of two weeks, we managed to find and | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
recover almost the full skeletal remains of an adult male. | :04:09. | :04:20. | |
The injuries to the body were seen as suspicious. | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
The male suffered significant head trauma. | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
We believed that this person had been killed, but we didn't know | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
who this person was, why the victim may had been killed | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
and who was responsible for the killing. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
They began building a picture of the victim. | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
The postmortem gave us a lot of clues. He was beyond 54 years of age | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
at the time of death. But probably in his 60s. He was between 5'8" and | :04:41. | :04:52. | |
5'10" in height. He had previously had a broken nose. He had suffered | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
from arthritis and would have had a problem with his spine that would | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
have caused him limited mobility in as much as there was some fusion of | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
the spine. Detectives also turned to forensic | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
odontologist Dr John Rosie for help. The first thing that was apparent | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
were that all the posterior Now that, to me, indicated that that | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
person wasn't particularly dentally aware in his younger years, | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
and then all of a sudden, the penny has dropped | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
because his pre molar teeth have got some very extensive crown work, | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
root canal work and filling work Now the style of the dentistry | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
is typical of dentistry that was done in the 90s, | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
00s possibly late 80s. This description also appears | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
in dental journals in the hope that it will jog a dentist's memory | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
about work he has completed. Two items of badly decomposed | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
clothing were also Fragments from a jumper | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
and what appeared to be the label We found two items that may be | :06:12. | :06:27. | |
connected to the body. We were able to identify the label emanated from | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
a pair of Marks Spencer men's underwear informed in 1999. We know | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
the textile was from a Principlingle jump -- Prigle jumper manufactured | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
from 2000 to 2004. It was groan in colour and size extra large. | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
Detectives worked tirelessly to find the identity of the victim | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
but were still missing a vital piece of the jigsaw. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
They turned to a leading forensic artist. | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
North Wales police contacted us because they wanted a facial | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
depiction to be produced in the hope it would lead to identification. We | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
look at the skull and from the shape and size of the skull and the | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
position and degree of the muscle attachments, we predict the shape of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
the muscles and from the shape of the muscles, we predict the shape of | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
the face. We take measurements and assess the teeth to tell us about | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
the lips. We look at the sides and base of the skull to tell us about | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
the ears. We look at the orbits to tell us about the eyes. We can | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
slowly build the skull into the facial appearance of the living | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
individual. This face is quite a strong male face, quite deep-set | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
eyes. Although the nose has been previously broken, looks quite | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
straight. Because of the loss of a large number of teeth, he would have | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
had quite sunkle cheeks. The details that were uncertain -- that we're | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
uncertain of are those things we can't tell from looking at the | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
bones, so skin colour exactly, eye colour, hair colour. He hasn't got | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
an incredibly characteristic face. He hasn't got a massive nose or a | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
cleft chin, but hopefully the overall appearance should spark | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
something, if somebody knew him, they may be able to recognise | :08:27. | :08:39. | |
something in there. This is going to be really significant. There will be | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
a loved one, friends, family that may recognise this person. Once we | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
get to the name, we can work on why did this person become a victim, who | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
would be responsible for that and why would they want to have killed | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
him. Just a bit sad, you know, that he's been here for that long and | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
people have been driving past, probably daily, and not realised | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
he's here. It's not easy, I'm reminded about it every day. I think | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
about it pretty much every day, that someone's lost their life up here. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
It had to be us that found him. We'll take a look at how you can | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
help in just a moment, but first, I went to look round the crime scene | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
itself, just across the reservoir from here, on the Denbigh Moors | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
with Detective Superintendent Iestyn They were camping just up there? | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
They were indeed. 100 yards up this track. The rally was about 300 yards | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
that way? As the crow flies, about 300 yards, yes. These two brothers | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
come into the forest here looking for fire wood? They enter this part | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
of the forest and one of the brothers came to this location to | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
collect some wood and it was at this very point that the skull was found, | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
covered in moss and undergrowth, clearly been here for some time. So | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
the skull was here. And you found other remains. We did indeed. We | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
conducted an examination that took about two to three weeks. We | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
recovered, from this location, more or less, the full skeleton remains | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
of a male. We cut away a lot of the trees. It was quite dense and quite | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
a challenging examination. But you found it? We did. | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
It's remarkable that you've rebuilt a face from the bones. Yes, this is | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
significant for our investigation. We've managed to get full facial | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
reconstruction of the man. We've got three images today: The first is the | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
man who he would have looked in his 50s. A further two images of how the | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
man would look in his 60s and 70s. At this time, I can't be certain of | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
the age. It's extraordinary to see those on the screen there. This area | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
is very remote. We've been here all day today. How do you think the | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
victim came to be here. And crucially, when? I think he was | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
killed elsewhere. This is a deposition site. We know that area | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
of forest was planted in 1985. It's our belief that body would have been | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
deposited at that location some time between 1995 and 2005. That's based | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
on the tree growth and also the dexrogs of the body. -- | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
decomposition. You have a full DNA profile of the victim. Yes, | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
significant for ourselves a full DNA profile. Unfortunately it doesn't | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
match anyone on the national database. I would ask for anyone who | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
thinks they may recognise this person to contact us and give us the | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
name so we can progress the investigation. Because the key thing | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
is first, you identify him, then you identify the person who killed him. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Indeed, that's really important for us. I ask for people from the | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
medical profession to get in touch with us. We've discussed the spinal | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
damage to the body and also the previous fractured. There might be | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
someone from the dental profession who might recognise their own work | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
here. Ultimately, this is someone's loved one. I need to find out who | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
this person is so that my investigation can progress. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Let's take one more look at the image. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
If you have any idea who he might be, please call us: | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones. | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
The numbers will be on screen throughout the programme. | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Time now for our CCTV roundup, and we've got some particularly | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
brazen lawbreakers tonight, so keep your eyes peeled. | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
A man in a hat and glasses enters a newly repushish hotel in Watford. He | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
bypasses reception and heads straight for the rooms. It seems | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
like he can't find the right level. He starts on the third floor and | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
goes down to second. What's he up to? The man creeps down the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
corridor, maybe he's found what he's been searching for. If you look | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
closely, you can see he's holding a bottle. But it's not water in there. | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
He starts a fire outside one of the rooms. He runs away, but his sense | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
of direction fails him again and he ends up in the basement. When all | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
the guests head for the exit, lo and behold, he's finally found his way | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
out. But this time, without his hat and glasses. This could have been | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
really serious, but thankfully, no-one was hurt. Take a good look at | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
him again, someone must know who he is. | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
A man is walking with a 15-year-old boy. The man started following him | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
on eastbury road Watford. As they approach Bushey train station. The | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
man asks if the boy will engage in oral sex. When the boy declines, the | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
man tries to keep their interaction light hearted by offering his hand | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
for a high five. As the boy obliges, the man touches him inappropriately. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
The man leaves the station, looking back in the direction of the boy. Do | :14:36. | :14:46. | |
you recognise him? Look closely at this one, it happens rather quickly. | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
A man is walking home when he's accosted by a man with a black | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
handgun. According to police, the victim is forced down an alleyway | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
and made to hand over his rucksack and a case containing musical | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
equipment. Take a look again. Police believe this is the same man seen 15 | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
minutes earlier refuelling an R plate blank Honda CRV. Police also | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
believe it's the same vehicle that drove past during the robbery. If | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
you've seen the car or the guy with the gun, get in touch. | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
Take a look at these men in this pub footage from Sherborne, Dorset, they | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
approach a member of staff in the garden and start to ask about | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
bed-and-breakfast. Whilst one acts like a decoy the other heads inside | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
and starts searching the staff only areas of the premises. He has a look | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
around but someone disturbs him and he hides around the corner. When the | :15:59. | :16:08. | |
coast is clear he tries again, he goes behind the bar and attempts to | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
open a safe. And this isn't the first time that the pair have tried | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
to burgle a boozer. You can see them earlier that day in a Warminster | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
watering hole. They manage to break-in in the early hours of the | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
morning and steal from the till. An hour after that they are at it | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
again, at a pub in Stanford, whilst customers are eating breakfast. One | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
of them uses a tall to nab ace said, they have taken thousands of pounds | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
which don't belong to them, we need your help to call time on these two. | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
-- they use a tool to open a safe. Call or text if you can name | :16:54. | :17:03. | |
anyone we've just shown. Texts will be charged | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
at your standard message rate. And remember you can follow | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
all of the developments during the programme on our live | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
updates web page. The small rural hamlet of Badenscoth | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
in Aberdeenshire is another very It's where 67-year-old | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
Brian McKandie called home and where his life was brutally | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
ended six months ago. Tonight, his brother Bill asks why | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
anyone would want to harm someone who lived such | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
a seemingly simple life. This is Badenscoth on the outskirts | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
of Rothienorman, 30 minutes For 65 years it had been | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
Brian McKandie's home. He'd lived there almost | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
all his life. But his semi-detached house | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
is now a crime scene. No longer a home, but the sight | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
of a murder investigation. And we came to live in Badenscoth | :17:50. | :18:01. | |
there about 1951 and he lived We all left home and Brian was left | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
to stay with his mother After his mother passed away, | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
Brian ran a small business He was always on hand to fix cars | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
or do odd jobs for people. His life was cars, he'd just fix | :18:19. | :18:30. | |
cars, people come from as far away as Aberdeen and St Petershead, | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
because word of mouth. They said that guy does a good job, | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
and he was always busy. On Friday the 11th of March Brian | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
left home to go to Turriff, These are the last known CCTV images | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
of Brian capturing him in the town's Bank of Scotland | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
branch that morning. Detectives know he made | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
it home around 1pm. The next day Saturday | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
the 12th of March some When they couldn't get an answer | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
they called the police. They forced entry and found | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
Brian's body inside, We just can't put our finger | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
on the reason for it happening. There seems to be no | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
apparent reason. Well, it's not easy to move on, | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
sometime in the day you always think Brian's murder shocked | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
the entire community. They cannot understand why such | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
a quiet and unassuming Detectives believe | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
the answers lie locally. Over the last six months they have | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
appealed extensively for information, stopping hundreds | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
of cars outside his home. Is there somebody | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
going to come forward? We might get a bit of information | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
sometime, hopefully. Somebody, somewhere | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
knows what happened. If they're going to keep a secret | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
now, it's either come forward and tell the police, or you've got | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
to keep a secret forever. I'm joined by DCI Iain Smith | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
from Police Scotland, Brian lived a really | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
quiet life, so any idea Brian lived nearly his whole | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
life in Badenscoth. We haven't established a motive for | :20:35. | :20:52. | |
his death. Which is why | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
we really need to speak to anyone who was a customer, | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
friend or acquaintance of Brian There are a couple of people | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
in particular you're keen to trace? Witnesses report seeing two males | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
seen speaking to Brian at his home on Friday, | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
March 11, at about 1.30pm. The first male is described | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
as being about 30 to 50 years The second male is younger, | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
possibly 20 to 30 years They had a burgundy | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
or maroon coloured "boxy" These two males and the car | :21:25. | :21:37. | |
remain unidentified. And you also asking for information | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
regarding the weapon? Yes, he'd probably have been | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
attacked with a heavy weapon. We have not identified | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
the murder weapon as yet. The offenders' clothing, | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
would have been blood stained A thorough forensic examination | :21:58. | :21:58. | |
of the address has revealed some potential evidence, and we are | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
currently processing that. But you do believe local people may | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
be able to assist with CCTV? We have the CCTV of Brian | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
in the bank, but we're also appealing for anyone else with CCTV | :22:09. | :22:20. | |
footage in the area. Or if you've driven on that stretch | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
of road we can see now at the time and have dashboard camera footage, | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
please contact us tonight. Please do call now if you can shed | :22:30. | :22:35. | |

Crimestoppers is offering a ?10,000 Now it's the time of year | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
when parents nervously pack off their sons and daughters | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
to university for the first time. For most undergraduates, | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
these first terms are an exciting But as freshers week begins | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
for many, we look at the disturbing prevalence of sexual assaults | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
on students and ask for your help to solve a particularly | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
horrendous attack on a fresher. Manchester University | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
is Britain's biggest campus. This month 8,000 new students | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
are arriving, and like many others all over the country, | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
it will be their first time It's a time to enjoy themselves | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
and make new friends, but for some, new-found independence | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
in an unfamiliar city makes them Something Tahir Nazir, | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
the so-called University Prowler, took advantage of when he travelled | :23:43. | :23:54. | |
to towns across the UK last year South Wales Police became involved | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
after reports he had broken into a student's house and climbed | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
into one of the beds. A few weeks after the offence | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
in Cardiff, he committed We then looked at the CCTV footage | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
and we could see that he was entering into the premises | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
and literally trying doors and just trying his luck and going | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
into the rooms looking for girls. I genuinely believe | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
that he was predatory in his behaviour, knowing | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
that there would be far more students around, unfamiliar | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
with their surroundings. Tahir Nazir was eventually caught | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
after sneaking into student accommodation in Manchester, | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
and in May this year he was found guilty of trespass with intent | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
to commit a sexual offence, a sexual assault and attempted rape | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
and was sentenced to While this was a very unusual case, | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
sexual assault is higher among female students | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
when compared with other women. In Manchester alone, | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
109 sexual offences against students Something the university students' | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
union are desperate to change. I'm the women's | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
officer at the union. They identified key areas | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
of the city where they We asked students to pin on a map | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
the areas of Manchester In terms of street harassment | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
and being approached, this is definitely an area | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
that concerns students. It's quite scary to think that | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
even though there are so many students living here, it's really | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
not that safe to be coming We wouldn't want to scare people | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
into thinking they can't go anywhere in Manchester, but at the same time, | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
I think it's really important that people know areas which are known | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
to be unsafe or quite daunting To fight back, they organised | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
a march to take a stand against street violence, | :26:00. | :26:07. | |
sexual harassment and rape. When we did our Reclaim the City | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
event, we got a gazebo and lights and we really filled it with noise | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
and music and made The police are also | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
keen to play their part in keeping students - | :26:19. | :26:28. | |
both men and women - safe. We're out tonight to offer | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
support and guidance. It makes the students feel confident | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
that we're here to help It's also a large deterrent | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
for anybody out there that's wanting I think that when they come | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
into Manchester, it's such a big city, it's getting their bearings, | :26:40. | :26:49. | |
knowing their route from pub to club and their route | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
home is very important. All we'd ask them to do | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
is plan their night, have a great time, but plan | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
where they're going at If they feel vulnerable or that | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
they're being followed or they're at risk, there's plenty of points | :27:03. | :27:12. | |
and stores around But for one student | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
this wasn't enough. Even though she shared a licenced | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
taxi home with a friend. We have changed the identity | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
of her and her mother I didn't want her going away, | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
but I was really proud of her. And then she got the results | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
that she needed and she couldn't wait to get out, it was like she had | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
the world at her feet. Amy had just started university | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
in Liverpool and was On 28th September last year she left | :27:44. | :27:45. | |
a bar with a friend and jumped in a taxi | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
with a man they didn't know. After her friend was dropped off | :27:50. | :27:59. | |
? she was left alone This person was touching my leg | :28:00. | :28:01. | |
and stuff and I was sort of shying him off, moving | :28:02. | :28:11. | |
to the side and this person was trying to kiss me | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
and I was like, "no". Amy left the taxi, but as you can | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
see from this CCTV the man stayed with her before finally | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
pulling her into an alleyway I just sort of remember | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
when it was happening, he was like grabbing my mouth | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
and telling me to be quiet It's kind of like you get to a point | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
when you give up trying to fight because you know there's no point, | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
it's going to happen anyway. She phoned me and as soon | :28:43. | :28:59. | |
as I answered I knew before she even spoke I knew | :29:00. | :29:02. | |
it was the worst thing You never want any parent to get | :29:03. | :29:04. | |
a call like that. She flagged a taxi down and I said | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
give the taxi man your phone. And I explained to him, | :29:09. | :29:17. | |
look she's just been raped can you please just | :29:18. | :29:24. | |
get her to the hospital. For him to think that he could get | :29:25. | :29:28. | |
away with it, I don't know. I just think there needs to be some | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
kind of justice. I just want all girls and boys out | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
there doing fresher's week You do not know who's going to be | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
climbing into that taxi, just be aware and never think it | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
won't happen to you because that's Well, you can find more | :29:48. | :29:52. | |

Well, sadly we now need your help to solve yet | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
19-year-old Andrew Oteng-Owusu, who was a fulltime career for his | :32:26. | :32:34. | |
mother, was stabbed a stone's throw away from his front door in East | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
London last month. He died the following day. | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
Joining me now is Detective Inspector Tom Dahri who's | :32:41. | :32:42. | |
Tell us what we know about the night Andrew was attacked. | :32:43. | :32:48. | |
It was late in the evening of Wednesday, August 3, when Andrew | :32:49. | :32:56. | |
left his flat, which he shares with his mother in Sharratt Street, New | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
Cross. We believe he was attacked at around | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
11:35pm and was stabbed twice. He's staggered down this close here. | :33:05. | :33:15. | |
The attack happened where that van is and he's got back to this | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
communal doors, climb four flights of stairs to where his flat is and | :33:21. | :33:27. | |
along the corridor, the landing, to where he's banged on the front door | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
and collapsed outside where his mother's found him. Andrew was a | :33:31. | :33:35. | |
fulltime career to his mum, Tina, who suffered from diabetes. She's | :33:36. | :33:43. | |
obviously devastated by his death. Andrew was, he was a very nice young | :33:44. | :33:53. | |
man - humble, polite. He's very helpful. Not just to me, but to the | :33:54. | :34:02. | |
community. He's everything to me, because we've been together since he | :34:03. | :34:09. | |
was born, so I don't know what to say... I don't know. I don't know. | :34:10. | :34:23. | |
If they catch them, it will not bring Andrew back, but I want them | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
to get caught because they won't go out and do it to somebody else. | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
What can people do to help you catch his killer or killers? | :34:37. | :34:44. | |
Andrew was stabbed on the corner of Lovelinch Close | :34:45. | :34:46. | |
It's a stone's throw from his house. There is a playground on the | :34:47. | :34:57. | |
right-hand side, which had five witnesses. We know that the | :34:58. | :35:00. | |
witnesses shouted across to Andrew to see if he was OK. He shouted | :35:01. | :35:06. | |
back, "No. I'm bleeding." We believe Andrew was in company with a black | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
male, who appeared to be herding or guiding him back to the flat. | :35:10. | :35:12. | |
Unfortunately, this male has then peeled off to the left side and | :35:13. | :35:21. | |
through a gate into hornchurch street. You have some CCTV. Yes, we | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
have very limited CCTV. However, we got some pieces of witnesses we'd | :35:27. | :35:32. | |
like to speak to. We have pulled together in this slide here. Show us | :35:33. | :35:36. | |
what you've got. We have a black male with a beard in a grey | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
tracksuit who appears in a street near to the murder scene, twice | :35:41. | :35:44. | |
within a short time frame of leading up to the actual murder. We would | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
like to speak to this man. In the next shot, we have a cyclist who | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
comes out at that junction, looks over their shoulder, as though | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
they've been distracted by something, what did they see? What | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
did they hear? We'd like to speak to that person as well. This man here | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
in the stripy top, we'd like to trace him as well. He may hold vital | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
information, as he was in that area at the time of the murder. It's a | :36:10. | :36:16. | |
tragic case. Andrew was just murdered at just 19 years of age. | :36:17. | :36:18. | |
Thank you very much, Tom. Please get in touch using the | :36:19. | :36:25. | |
numbers on screen if you can help. Let's just catch up now | :36:26. | :36:28. | |

latest? It has been very busy. I'm encouraged by the calls we've had in | :36:40. | :36:42. | |

to remind viewers of the facial reconstruction we have in this case. | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
There's the image. That's the person aged in his 50s. He could be in his | :36:50. | :36:56. | |
60s or 70s He could. I would like to remind viewers we have a full DNA | :36:57. | :37:00. | |

The Colchester dog walker whose instincts may well | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
He was standing in the middle of the footbridge. He turned round and | :37:09. | :37:16. | |
looked at me. I panicked because he didn't look quite right. Turned | :37:17. | :37:18. | |
straight back out, more into the open. That's when we called the | :37:19. | :37:19. | |
police. More wanted faces first, | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
starting with Michael Heron, although he also uses the nickname | :37:25. | :37:26. | |
Mac or Mic. He was jailed for violent | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
disorder and released early from prison on licence, | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
but he's failed to stick to the conditions of his release | :37:32. | :37:34. | |
and is now wanted back in prison. Heron is 27 and has links | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
to the Anfield, Bootle He's described as violent, so just | :37:38. | :37:40. | |
dial 999 if you know where he is. Face number six is this man | :37:41. | :37:50. | |
Tyrone Scafe, although you may Detectives want to question him | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
about an attack in South London in which a man suffered a broken | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
jaw and cheek bones. Scafe is 28 and has a two-inch scar | :37:58. | :38:01. | |

in connection to numerous offences of pick pocketing on buses | :38:09. | :38:12. | |
across London and also an incident in which a woman | :38:13. | :38:14. | |
was pushed off a bus. Wroblewski is 33 and | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
originally from Poland. He has a small mole and a scar | :38:18. | :38:19. | |
on his left cheek. And finally tonight, | :38:20. | :38:22. | |
this is Azeez Fasasi, but he may be using | :38:23. | :38:25. | |
a different name. He was questioned in connection | :38:26. | :38:27. | |
with two counts of fraud and perverting the course of justice | :38:28. | :38:29. | |
and released on police bail. But he's failed to return | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
and is now wanted. Originally from Nigeria, | :38:33. | :38:37. | |
40-year-old Fasasi now has friends and family in Leicester, | :38:38. | :38:39. | |
Coventry and Birmingham. He has a number | :38:40. | :38:42. | |

the hunt for the male who sexually assaulted two young girls | :38:53. | :39:03. | |
at Legoland in Windsor, say they've received more than 200 | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
calls as a result of last week's The two six year olds were on a day | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
out with their families last month when they were assaulted | :39:12. | :39:19. | |
in the Castaway Camp Officers say viewers have also sent | :39:20. | :39:21. | |
in videos and photos taken on the day, which could | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
help the investigation. They're also following up eight | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
new leads of particular interest. In March last year we featured | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
the horrific attack He was scarred for life | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
after being sprayed with acid Earlier this year Ashley Russell was | :39:37. | :39:53. | |
given an extended sentence and this woman was given eight years. The | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
detective investigating the case said the Crimewatch appeal was a | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
significant factor in bringing them to justice. ( | :40:01. | :40:09. | |
And you may remember we featured the shocking sexual assault on a | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
She was attacked in October 2013 as she made her way home | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
This man has been jailed for ten years. | :40:17. | :40:22. | |

mystery that we featured in December last year. | :40:25. | :40:26. | |
We asked for your help after human remains were discovered by workmen | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
Police knew the man had been murdered, but couldn't identify him. | :40:30. | :40:34. | |

worth of biscuits were stolen from a factory in South Wales. | :41:19. | :41:25. | |
In April he was jailed for three years and four months for his part | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
And finally, this man Daniel Rutter is safely | :41:29. | :41:31. | |
He appeared as a wanted face on our March programme | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
after escaping from prison, where he was serving a life sentence | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
He handed himself in after the programme and will now serve | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
Thank you so much for all of your crucial calls. | :41:42. | :41:52. | |
On last week's programme we told you about Essex Police's major | :41:53. | :41:55. | |
investigation into two seemingly random murders | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
within the space of three months in Colchester. | :42:00. | :42:02. | |
With little CCTV and no witnesses, the investigation team | :42:03. | :42:05. | |
had their work cut out for them to ensure they caught the killer | :42:06. | :42:08. | |
I took a phone call from the senior investigating officer asking me to | :42:09. | :42:27. | |
go straight to Colchester because somebody had been killed. There was | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
a knock on the door. It was two police officers. They came in and | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
asked me to sit down. All I can remember is basically, scream. I | :42:37. | :42:43. | |
didn't realise it was actually me. On March 29, 2014, Jim Atfield was | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
found with more than 100 knife wounds in a park in Colchester, | :42:48. | :42:52. | |
Essex. Detectives began a tireless hunt for his killer. There was no | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
clear motive. There wasn't that single piece of evidence. There were | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
no immediate witnesses who came forward. But three months into the | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
investigation came more shocking news. The SIO said, "There's been | :43:06. | :43:12. | |
another murder in Colchester." It was a moment of - have we got | :43:13. | :43:15. | |
somebody here who's going out killing people? We've had two knife | :43:16. | :43:26. | |
murders in coal chester in less than three months. It's important that | :43:27. | :43:32. | |
people don't go out alone in isolated places. On 17th June, this | :43:33. | :43:40. | |
student was found stabbed to death on a public path. The 31-year-old | :43:41. | :43:47. | |
from Saudi Arabia was studying at the university of Essex. She was on | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
her way to the nearby campus when she was attacked. It was clear that | :43:52. | :44:00. | |
she was the victim of a vicious assault. Two young people have been | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
brutally murdered within the same town. The first murder of Jim was | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
incredibly unusual for Colchester. To have a second murder in less than | :44:13. | :44:19. | |
three months was extraordinary. You can feel the sense of fear in the | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
local community. People were saying, we're not going to go out on our | :44:23. | :44:26. | |
own, or at night. Especially the elderly. Very, very, very worried. | :44:27. | :44:28. | |
It was terrifying. Detectives immediately launched | :44:29. | :44:33. | |
a second murder enquiry. There was speculation around whether | :44:34. | :44:45. | |
or not she had been dressed in traditional Muslim wear was a | :44:46. | :44:47. | |
factor. There was never any evidence that was the case. Again, this | :44:48. | :44:52. | |
appeared to be a random attack. They began an extensive search the area. | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
We recovered literally hundreds and hundreds of items. In total, over | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
14,000 items were submitted for forensic examination. But again, no | :45:01. | :45:06. | |
murder weapon was found. And detectives had very little to go on. | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
There were no eyewitness that's had come forward. There was no CCTV that | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
covered the area. There was some CCTV imagery of her passing a parade | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
of shops. That image certainly didn't appear to show anybody | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
following her. It was clearly going to be one of the most demanding | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
times for our investigative teams in the north of Essex that we'd ever | :45:29. | :45:30. | |
faced. They found just one | :45:31. | :45:32. | |
trace of the killer. A very small amount of DNA | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
was recovered from Nahid's body. That was preserved so that could be | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
subject to examination Two brutal knife attacks | :45:41. | :45:42. | |
within three months - but were the deaths of Jim | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
and Nahid actually connected? Whilst there were similarities, | :45:47. | :45:53. | |
there was no clear evidence that linked the two murders together | :45:54. | :45:57. | |
and it was on that basis we deemed the investigations would be | :45:58. | :46:00. | |
separate but parallel. They began to bring | :46:01. | :46:05. | |
in people for questioning. We looked at 69 people who had | :46:06. | :46:13. | |
either committed knife crime in the area or violent offences | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
or was suffering from significant mental health conditions | :46:18. | :46:29. | |
that warranted us One of those people was a 15 year | :46:30. | :46:30. | |
old boy. He had one previous offence for a | :46:31. | :46:40. | |
knife robbery. He said that he was at home | :46:41. | :46:48. | |
on his own and he hadn't But in comparison to some | :46:49. | :46:51. | |
of the other people that we looked at, his offending history combined | :46:52. | :46:57. | |
with his age, didn't flag any As the investigation progressed, | :46:58. | :46:59. | |
officers made nationwide We were making significant | :47:00. | :47:02. | |
public appeals. One in particular was regarding | :47:03. | :47:10. | |
a dark tan jacket that was described as possibly | :47:11. | :47:20. | |
Italian designer in style. A number of witnesses described | :47:21. | :47:21. | |
seeing someone leaving the area wearing a jacket of that type | :47:22. | :47:24. | |
following Nahid's murder. As they had done with Jim's case, | :47:25. | :47:26. | |
they turned to Crimewatch. We want to trace a male wearing a | :47:27. | :47:33. | |
distinctive beige jacket. Despite those repeated appeals | :47:34. | :47:43. | |
nobody came forward and described who may have been | :47:44. | :47:45. | |
wearing that jacket. Whilst a number of arrests | :47:46. | :47:47. | |
were made, a year passed and detectives were no closer | :47:48. | :47:49. | |
to catching the killer or killers. It was horrible day | :47:50. | :47:55. | |
to day, a waiting game. Every time the phone rang | :47:56. | :48:03. | |
and it was my liaison officer it was always, is this is, | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
have they found somebody? We knew that we were building | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
a picture but we didn't have that vital piece of evidence even | :48:13. | :48:15. | |
after many months of tireless work. You sometimes think I don't know | :48:16. | :48:18. | |
where the answer's going to come from you know, but I always thought | :48:19. | :48:20. | |
that we would find out who did this. Then, on the 26th of May, 2015, | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
a dog walker made a call On this particular day | :48:25. | :48:33. | |
I literally got to about here and I could see the picture | :48:34. | :48:40. | |
of the back of a man's head. He was standing in the middle | :48:41. | :48:46. | |
of the footbridge. He has turned round | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
and looked back at me and obviously I panicked | :48:52. | :48:53. | |
because he didn't look quite right. There was another lady down | :48:54. | :48:55. | |
there and we came back together. He was crouching down in the corner | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
and just stood there staring at us. We literally just got straight out | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
of there and called the police. When PC Lumis arrived | :49:07. | :49:17. | |
at the trail he found a young In his pocket he had | :49:18. | :49:20. | |
a small folding knife That was unusual and clearly PC | :49:21. | :49:28. | |
Lumis knew that Nahid had been murdered close to that location less | :49:29. | :49:37. | |
than 12 months previously. He made absolutely the right | :49:38. | :49:40. | |
decision and arrested that young man for possessing an offensive | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
weapon in a public place. That young man was taken to custody, | :49:44. | :49:51. | |
very early on he was making comments claiming that he was responsible | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
for the murder of Jim Attfield I just thought, is this really it, | :49:56. | :49:57. | |
is this what we've been waiting for, The teenager in custody was 16 year | :49:58. | :50:06. | |
old James Fairweather. Suddenly here's a young person in | :50:07. | :50:23. | |
custody claiming to be responsible. That meant he would have been 15 | :50:24. | :50:26. | |
at the time. The first reaction of many was that | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
of disbelief, how can somebody so young be responsible | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
for two brutal attacks. I knew at that point | :50:38. | :50:39. | |
that his admission alone We conducted a number of searches | :50:40. | :50:45. | |
at his home address. We did recover a number of items | :50:46. | :50:54. | |
relating to what appeared to be Detectives also spent many hours | :50:55. | :50:57. | |
interviewing the teenager. Sitting in an interview room | :50:58. | :51:07. | |
across the way from someone who's polite but describing such brutal | :51:08. | :51:13. | |
ferocious attacks was just, He said voices in his head made him | :51:14. | :51:15. | |
carry out the killings. The voices were talking to me, you | :51:16. | :51:29. | |
need to make a sacrifice or they will come and get me. It was like | :51:30. | :51:40. | |
that. I stabbed him first there, invoices were laughing louder and | :51:41. | :51:41. | |
louder. -- the voices. It was quite chilling to watch | :51:42. | :51:47. | |
because he was a young man, You had a boy basically telling | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
you these things that he'd done. He knew details that we hadn't | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
released to anybody, it was very clear to me very early | :51:56. | :51:58. | |
on that this was the right person. It was decided there was enough | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
evidence to charge. The phone call came in and they said | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
they had charged him and they needed to thank me and if it wasn't for me | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
they definitely would been looking for another body - | :52:10. | :52:12. | |
it may have been my body. We didn't think somebody | :52:13. | :52:15. | |
from our community was capable of carrying out such vicious | :52:16. | :52:17. | |
and violent assaults. We certainly didn't think it | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
would be a local teenager. But what had really driven | :52:22. | :52:24. | |
this young man to commit He was using the voices as a way | :52:25. | :52:27. | |
of avoiding responsibility What was going through his mind | :52:28. | :52:34. | |
were the thoughts and intense interest in serial killers, | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
killing and deviant He had the immaturity of youth | :52:41. | :52:42. | |
and lack of responsibility which coupled with his callous | :52:43. | :52:49. | |
unconcern and lack of empathy were a potent mix, | :52:50. | :52:53. | |
which allowed him to go over from the fantasy, | :52:54. | :53:01. | |
to actually starting to carry out his | :53:02. | :53:03. | |
desire to kill people. Whilst awaiting trial, | :53:04. | :53:05. | |
Fairweather changed his account and denied any involvement | :53:06. | :53:08. | |
in the murders. But by that time officers had made | :53:09. | :53:13. | |
a significant forensic breakthrough. The small DNA sample we'd been able | :53:14. | :53:21. | |
to recover from Nahid's body, the forensic techniques had now | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
developed to complete a comparison around the DNA sample taken | :53:26. | :53:30. | |
from Fairweather and that indicated a strong likelihood that the DNA | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
recovered from Nahid's In January, 17 year | :53:34. | :53:35. | |
old James Fairweather He pleaded guilty to manslaughter | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
on the grounds of The prosecution were given a short | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
amount of time to go away and consider whether or not | :53:46. | :53:52. | |
they wanted to accept that plea. Our expert formed a very | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
clear view, though. He wasn't driven by | :53:57. | :54:01. | |
voices in his head. It was right and proper that we ask | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
a jury to decide whether or not James Fairweather was sufficiently | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
in control of his actions They believed he was in | :54:10. | :54:11. | |
control of his actions And in April, James Fairweather | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
was found guilty of murder. He was sentenced to serve a minimum | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
of 27 years. There was no emotion when the jury | :54:23. | :54:27. | |
returned their verdict Until you hear that word, | :54:28. | :54:29. | |
until you hear them say guilty, The work that everybody out | :54:30. | :54:40. | |
into this, had all paid off and we were able to give | :54:41. | :54:46. | |
answers to the families. It was like a big weight had been | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
lifted, it was like justice is done. It does allow us to a certain degree | :54:51. | :54:55. | |
to put it behind us It means that Jim can rest | :54:56. | :54:58. | |
in peace at last. We took in excess | :54:59. | :55:07. | |
of 3,300 statements. Over 1800 officers and staff worked | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
across those two investigations. It was on a scale that was out | :55:13. | :55:15. | |
of the ordinary. And the people of Colchester | :55:16. | :55:31. | |
and Jim and Nahid's parents know that Fairweather | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
is going to spend a long An unbelievable case | :55:36. | :55:37. | |
but justice at least for Jim Though the killer James Fairweather | :55:38. | :55:41. | |
is in fact appealing against his sentence which ruled | :55:42. | :55:47. | |
he must serve at least 27 years. We'll find out on Wednesday | :55:48. | :55:49. | |
whether he is successful. Right, just time before we go | :55:50. | :55:52. | |
to check in with Tina who has the latest on what's come | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
in on the phones. It is very busy here tonight. We | :55:57. | :56:03. | |
have had potential leads and some names for the body that was found | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
over the water from where we are now. Lots of calls and suggested | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
names for the identity of this man and I would ask for because to | :56:14. | :56:18. | |
continue. This is another look at the facial reconstruction. It is | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
key, three images of the person in their 50s, 60s and 70s, we want the | :56:24. | :56:33. | |
calls to come in. How has tonight been for the pensioner beaten to | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
death, any information? Yes, we have had some information. We want more | :56:38. | :56:44. | |
on the men who accompanied him to the car. You have a reward? Yes, we | :56:45. | :56:56. | |
do, up to ?20,000. If you know anything that could help, please | :56:57. | :56:57. | |
pick up the phone and get in touch. Well, that's everything | :56:58. | :57:01. | |
for now on BBC One and But you can still follow | :57:02. | :57:03. | |
all of the developments Head there for the latest | :57:04. | :57:06. | |
from the detectives as they chase Also, do please take another look | :57:07. | :57:13. | |
