GUILTY UK - Alena Grlakova, 38, The Travellers' Inn pub, Rotherham, 26 Dec 2018 + Samantha Class Retrial

Poor girl looks like she had nothing, but he even took that from her. V sad

That reconstruction is heartbreaking. Boxing Day, busy streets and pubs -- why not buy her a meal and/or some warm clothes and walk away instead of murdering her?

When I did one of my degrees in the UK some years back my rooms were down the street from a youth remand shelter. Quite a few of those kids dressed like that, and too many didn't have the chance to grow any older or stronger. I know these cases don't have drawing power of some, but I find them among the hardest to forget.

I think her life had got increasingly more chaotic after separating from her husband and she wasn't in a very good place.

No home,no money etc...

She was certainly very vulnerable.

I can't understand her movements that night especially when she left the Fitzwilliam pub to walk up to scrooby lane and then back to the pub.

There is NOTHING up scrooby lane and she can't have got far up it before turning back to the pub as the time she left and returned was very short.

It was reported she was walking with a man but the reconstruction does not indicate that so I'm no longer sure on that detail.
 
Good news. Gotta wonder how many other attacks and possibly deaths he could be responsible for.

Scary and I completely agree. He is described as dangerous sexual predator with obsession of seeking, attacking and also robbing sex workers for few decades now. There are definitely more women out there who were assaulted by him and it is absolutely possible that he committed more than those 2 known murders.

From my own data list of missing people there was definitely not yet caught serial killer in the 90's. Quite a few women with that profession disappeared and quite a few who were found were murdered in clusters with their cases never being solved. I will be definitely watching this.

His address was given as HMP Doncaster yesterday. I have seen nothing to say he was charged and sentenced to any other crimes recently (and I have been keeping an eye on local news for his name) so I'm wondering if he was back in prison for some breach of bail or license conditions ?

I know he was released pending further investigation back in April when Alena was found and his property was searched for many days but no news of where he went after that (his flat has been boarded up).
 
I'm anti death penalty but when you see the records and historical actions of scum like this then I can see why some people argue for. There's just no rehabilitating people like this. As long as they're outside of a jail cell then they will always be a danger to the public.

Absolutely makes you wonder who many more he may be responsible for.
