Man charged with Rachel Nickell's murder
London, UK
Just noticed this earlier this from the Reuters website:
"A 41 year-old man has been charged with the murder of Rachel Nickell almost two decades ago, the Crown Prosecution Service said on Wednesday.
Robert Napper, a former warehouseman from Plumstead, south-east London, is due to appear in court next week charged with the 23 year-old's murder.
The part-time model was found on Wimbledon Common, south London, in July 1992, after she had been attacked as she walked her dog with her two-year-old son, Alex.
She had been stabbed 49 times and sexually assaulted in one of Britain's most notorious murder cases. A fellow walker found Alex clinging to his mother's blood-soaked body".
This was a terrible murder and for a long-time a local man, Colin Stagg, was the main suspect.

I remember that murder and it was terrible. If a woman can't go for a walk in broad daylight with her son and a dog, what kind of society do we have? Also awful if an innocent man served time for it.
Shocking stuff. Agreed.
