Rachel Nickell was on Wimbledon Common with her two-year-old son Alex and their dog Molly on July 15, 1992. An hour later, retired architect Michael Murray found her blood-soaked body as he walked his dog up a path from a deep, wooded dell near the car park. ——————————————————————————————————2/18— PROFILE Rachel — a shining light 322 WEATHER FOR YOUR REGION p183 Next page Index Politics Poll

Rachel was found on Wimbledon Common with her jeans and underwear around her ankles. Her son Alex clung to her arm, bruised and crying: "Get up mummy." She had been sexually assaulted and stabbed 49 times in a frenzied attack — 20 stab wounds were probably inflicted after she was dead. ——————————————————————————————————3/18— PROFILE Rachel — a shining light 322 WEATHER FOR YOUR REGION p183 Next page Index Politics Poll

Handing Alex over to some young mothers before running to raise the alarm, he told them: "I think there has been a disaster.

Flowers and wreaths were laid under an oak tree and a family friend read out an emotional message from Rachel's long-time boyfriend Andre Hanscombe — Alex's father — which asked people to remember all victims of violence. ——————————————————————————————————5/18— PROFILE Rachel — a shining light 322 WEATHER FOR YOUR REGION p183 Next page Index Politics Poll

Public pressure to find Rachel's killer was intense — however, the evidence police had was scanty. The team of more than 50 detectives had only one eye witness — Rachel's toddler son Alex — and little forensic evidence. It was to be 13 months before a man was charged with the killing. At times, it had looked hopeless. ——————————————————————————————————6/18— PROFILE Rachel — a shining light 322 WEATHER FOR YOUR REGION p183 Next page Index Politics Poll
