01:30In North Birmingham, a woman has reported being attacked and raped in a public phone box in the early hours
01:37of Saturday morning.
02:08This is where the actual incident happened, isn't it?
02:10Yeah. I mean, it's a real vicious attack. It's horrific, isn't it?
02:14At one o'clock-ish in the morning, how busy is the traffic and how well is it lit as
02:19well? You don't know, do you?
02:22So I think we've swapped the offence location.
02:25I'll have a look just to see if we can get any cellular material.
02:30It's very brazen to do it out of the open.
02:33I'm amazed that nobody saw or stopped.
02:39Crime scene coordinator, Joe Ward, directs a detailed examination of the phone box, looking for any evidence that may help
02:48police identify the attacker.
02:52There wasn't anything to do that right there.
02:59The public telephone box can cause some issues.
03:04Members of the public use that phone box.
03:06There'll be their DNA, as well as obviously any fingerprints as well.
03:11And that's kind of contaminating the scene, as such.
03:15You can already see initial marks here when they appear to be in blood.
03:21The blood in the phone box is mainly contact marks.
03:25So someone that's bleeding or has got blood on them actually making contact with the surface.
03:29There's a bit there and there's a bit inside here, so on the side of that you want to look
03:33into more.
03:34Yeah.
03:35We know the victim is badly beaten.
03:37But there's the offender bled.
03:40Has the victim managed to fight back?
03:44Whose blood is it?
03:46We really need to identify quickly who is responsible for this offence.
04:04Where the phone box is, it's the bushes either side.
04:06The train station is here.
04:08It's that phone box just after.
04:13Detectives from the Specialist Rape and Sexual Assault Team gather for an urgent briefing.
04:19Right, morning everyone.
04:20So what we know so far, we had a lone female leaving Wetherspoon's public house where she was brutally raped
04:27and attacked inside the phone box.
04:29So obviously what we know is when, we know where.
04:32The main focus of this this morning is who.
04:36Who the male is that has attacked her.
04:39This attack on our victim is what we call a stranger rape.
04:42There's no relationship.
04:43Don't know each other.
04:45It's just a straight grab off the street.
04:47I'd say that they're rare.
04:49But with all stranger rapes, the biggest challenge is we've got to connect two people who seem to be not
04:55connected in any way.
04:56And we've got to get those two people, and we've got to put them in the same place at the
05:00same time.
05:02Adele, I know you've been with our victim.
05:04I understand she's got some horrendous injuries.
05:06Are you able just to give us a bit of brief on how she is?
05:09She's coming across so strong, but I think she is in shock.
05:13What are actually new injuries?
05:15So visually you can see all from the face.
05:18She's bled quite a lot hasn't she?
05:19Under her eye there's a big cut.
05:21That's quite deep that is.
05:24Your priority really is your high and low vaginal swabs as well as the pants as well.
05:30I mean you can all appreciate anybody who's wandering around those streets capable of doing what he's done.
05:35We've got to focus everything on getting this guy in right now.
05:40He's committed a horrendous act. I can't predict what he's going to do next.
05:44Every day that goes by that he's not caught, the risk to the public is obviously increasing.
05:56After receiving hospital treatment, the victim is brought for a detailed forensic medical examination.
06:04The victim is so brave to come forward and report this incident.
06:09Are you okay? I'm just going to raise your gown a little bit.
06:13When dealing with the rape case, the victim themselves are actually classed as a scene.
06:20We advise, you know, not to wash, not to go to the toilet, because we can get forensic evidence from
06:25them.
06:25DNA from intimate swabs or from clothing.
06:31If you're uncomfortable at any point, tell me and I will stop, okay? You're doing really well.
06:40Understandably, the victim has gone through something so horrific and so traumatic, and we have to work at their speed.
06:48Now I'm just going to take the samples. It's just the tip of the swab.
06:51But we have a forensic window to gather the best forensic evidence before DNA starts to degrade and can be
06:57contaminated.
06:58So time is of the essence.
07:02Once intimate samples have been collected...
07:04So I'm just going to take that underwear.
07:08Items of clothing are also taken to be forensically processed at a specialist lab.
07:14From the clothing, we may get semen, but also cellular DNA.
07:17As the offenders actually touch the victim's clothing, I'm hopeful, but there's never any guarantees.
07:28The next priority for detectives is to get a full account of the attack from the victim.
07:38Right.
07:40I am Police Staff Investigation Officer Powell, but call me Adele.
07:47I'm sorry to put you through all of this.
07:54We know how stressful these are.
07:56The victim's gone through a traumatic incident.
07:59We are asking somebody to sit down in front of a perfect stranger
08:04and talk about the most traumatic experience of their lives.
08:08But it's important for us to get the account from that victim really early on,
08:12because there's bits that she can add that we can never get from anywhere else.
08:18I need you to help her.
08:20She knows so much detail that she can and everything you can remember.
08:27I think I'm just trying to absorb what happened to myself.
08:32Yeah, of course.
08:35I want to give a gift to a friend whose birth date was at the pub in Petri Bar.
08:41And then when it closed, Bath 1, 2, I actually started walking towards the train station.
08:52I can see she can't open her eyes.
08:55They're all bruised.
08:57She's got a broken nose.
09:00When you're looking at her injuries, the level of violence used,
09:04reliving it and talking through it, you can just exacerbate their trauma.
09:07So you've got to guide the victim.
09:12I felt someone grab me.
09:14Where?
09:16Sorry, where did they grab you?
09:18They grabbed me from behind and pushed me in the phone box.
09:21He had his arms around me.
09:23He was pushing me as well.
09:30And with one hand, he took my skirt and my leggings down.
09:36And then I'm trying to move, but then he's continually, like, hitting me, hitting me on my head and my
09:43face.
09:45And he raped me.
09:49Have you felt any ejaculation?
09:53I don't know, to be honest.
09:55Everything just happened.
09:59During any of these, has he spoken to you?
10:03He did just say, shut up, or something like that.
10:07But he did have, like, a foreign accent.
10:11Like, Middle East, Kurdish, Romanian.
10:14Yeah.
10:17And what about his holding tennis belt?
10:20He wasn't that big.
10:23I think, um, kind of five foot.
10:27Do you remember anything noticeable on him? Tattoos, markings, anything?
10:31I didn't know, to be honest with you.
10:33But I did say to him, leave me alone.
10:36Leave me.
10:38I think she's done incredibly well.
10:39She was able to tell us, um, his height.
10:43She gave us his accent of where she believed he was to originate from.
10:47This can sometimes be a bit subjective, but that's the only information about the suspect that we've got at this
10:54time.
10:56It was a really good starting point.
11:07There's a bit there, and there's a bit here.
11:09There might be some more on the inside.
11:13After swabbing the blood in the phone box, the forensic team hunts for any fingerprints that may have been left
11:20by the rapist.
11:23The fact that the rapist happened in a confined space gives a small chance that the suspect may have touched
11:29the telephone box as he's committing that offence.
11:31What we'll be looking for is, is there any fingerprints in blood?
11:40There seems to be some more here, but it's not the best quality.
11:50To improve the visibility of any prints, investigators apply chemical dyes that react with proteins found in blood.
12:04I can definitely see a colour change here.
12:12There's a few good ones there.
12:17And that one there.
12:18There's any switch detail on the inside.
12:21They identify a cluster of fingerprints on the outside of the frame.
12:26Originally, the fingerprints were very faint when we had taken them beforehand and appeared to be in blood.
12:32But with the diary agent, to actually bring out the contrast, which should be better for identification purposes for the
12:37fingerprint bureau.
12:42Photos of the enhanced prints are fast-tracked to the fingerprint bureau to check against the police national computer.
12:51Is this the biggest mistake he's made?
12:54Because this could be what identifies him.
13:06CCTV, where are we in relation to the CCTV?
13:10Axon links have been sent for the actual camera footage from One Stop Shopping Centre security team themselves.
13:18The footage is actually going to go to 4am, because their camera's pretty good and it gives a whole overview
13:23of the area.
13:26Birmingham is swamped in CCTV, but it comes with its own challenges.
13:32There are a lot of cameras around traffic, routes, buses, things like that.
13:37Potentially hundreds of hours of footage.
13:40You can never make any guarantees in terms of what you're going to find.
13:47Digital media investigator Rob McKinnon is tasked with scrutinising CCTV of the area around the crime scene.
13:56You do need to be patient, you need to have attention to detail.
13:59Because you may be looking for one thing, but you need to record what else you see,
14:03because anything could end up down the line being relevant.
14:09To narrow down the victim's movements on the night, detectives are dispatched to the pub she left moments before the
14:17attack.
14:20So at the minute we've just got an entrance for the camera, then the middle area camera.
14:25Okay.
14:27Quite often cameras, especially older cameras, the night footage will be of much lower quality.
14:33It makes it much more difficult to do things like spatial recognition,
14:37makes it more difficult to get an image that would be suitable for release to the public.
14:42Is there a camera by the fruit machine?
14:44It's not the greatest one, there's that one.
14:47Okay.
14:49You get differences in colours, so yeah, the way that the pixels sometimes blur together during movement
14:56can make it difficult to identify what is actually happening.
14:59Do you reckon you probably have better footage as well, best to clear it in there?
15:02Uh, out of push.
15:13Looking at multiple cameras, Rob focuses on a key timeframe between midnight and 2am.
15:22We're aware that the victim came from the pub before the offence.
15:29That gives us a starting point.
15:31So we can look at CCTV that covers that area to identify when it is the suspect and the victim
15:38are first to become aware of each other.
15:43Is this the sort of a train station?
15:45Yeah.
15:45This isn't far away from the spoons, isn't it really?
15:48No, it's just on the other side of the road, yes.
15:50We're looking for people that are acting in a way that doesn't make a lot of sense.
15:54You know, people standing around by themselves, maybe watching.
16:00So this is at 1.26.
16:03He hangs around for a few more minutes.
16:06At this point, the victim is still in the weather's boots.
16:11Rob homes in on a man.
16:13But he wanders off up here.
16:17And tracks him loitering between the pub and the phone box.
16:21The victim comes out.
16:27He crosses the road towards the station.
16:32And at about 1.43, the same man walks up this way.
16:36Which is the time when the victim is going towards the station.
16:41What she doesn't know is that he goes around the corner and waits.
16:52He walks away.
16:54This is our victim.
16:56You know, walking in the same direction.
17:00The next camera shows the attack taking place.
17:10I'm presuming he is waiting around the head.
17:18It's the worst footage I've ever seen.
17:22It's the level of violence and the continuation of that violence.
17:27You can't get emotionally involved in every single piece of footage that you watch.
17:33But there's some that will stick with you.
17:35And this is certainly one that will stick with me.
17:37I tend to try and channel it almost into that determination to find whoever it is that's done this.
17:47You see him run back past the same camera.
17:51After the attack, the offender runs out of range of the street cameras and disappears.
17:58I can honestly say that in 24 years of policing, I've not watched a piece of footage that has impacted
18:06like this has.
18:09But as horrendous as the offence was, we have to take positives from his brazenness and his violence.
18:15Because hopefully he's left the forensic evidence that he may not necessarily have left,
18:21should it have been more of a thought out or controlled attack.
18:25Despite having CCTV of the attack, the image is not clear enough for police to identify the offender.
18:48With no identifiable CCTV,
18:51detectives are hoping the bloody fingerprints from the phone box may provide a lead.
18:58It's a digital photo of ridge detail associated with blood on the exterior of the phone box.
19:05But first, examiner Mick Colleen must compare the prints to those belonging to the victim.
19:13To eliminate them from the enquiry.
19:21So the first distinctive characteristic we see is a ridge that's flowing then ends, what we call a ridge ending.
19:28And then the ridge ending appears in the same formation sequence in the victim's set of fingerprints.
19:38From that first characteristic, there is one intervening ridge, then a further ridge ending,
19:44and then another intervening ridge, and then another ridge ending.
19:55There are eight ridge characteristics in the same formation and sequence appearing on the crime scene mark and on the
20:03fingerprint form.
20:04So I'm satisfied that this is an identification against the victim's set of elimination prints.
20:1924 hours after the attack, and with the rapist still at large,
20:24Joe and Emma meet for an urgent review of the case.
20:31So I just want a bit of a summary of what's happened since we last spoke.
20:36So, the fingerprints from the telephone box have come back.
20:39A lot of them were insufficient detail, but one came back and was eliminated to a victim.
20:46Went and dried blood swabs from the actual phone box.
20:50The assumption is really all that blood is going to be hers.
20:53All the intimate samples have already been submitted, and we didn't get any positive DNA results from them.
21:00We're obviously waiting for the DNA to come back from the prints from the victim.
21:06I was really hopeful that we'd find some DNA or fingerprints, but the results are all negative so far.
21:14We're against the clock.
21:17I am feeling the pressure, because this man is a danger to the public.
21:23He really is.
21:306.30, let's get the very latest local news for Birmingham now with Sean Moore.
21:37ERNB News. The police are investigating a rape and assault in Peribar.
21:41West Midlands police were called to Warsaw Road in the early hours of Saturday morning following reports that a woman
21:46had been raped.
21:47The man is described as having a slim build and wearing tracksuit bottoms and hoodie.
21:51Anyone with information is being urged to come forward.
21:59Detectives Emma and Adele have now received CCTV from the pub the victim was in before the attack.
22:07So this is the foyer looking out, so people entering into Wetherspoons.
22:16They need to scan through hours of that evening's footage to see if they can spot the man in a
22:22dark tracksuit seen committing the offence.
22:29I know that she's in the Wetherspoons pub.
22:32What I don't know on the questions that he's asking is where is he coming to all of this?
22:36Is he drinking in the pub? Has he seen her in there before?
22:39Has there been previous contact between them?
22:41We can see sort of what clothing he was wearing at the time of the attack gives us a starting
22:45point.
22:49There's some guys hovering around here.
22:57This guy looks like he could be a guy.
23:02Same tracksuit, same trainers.
23:06A man matching the description given by the victim enters the pub just after midnight.
23:13That's our guy. He's come straight in.
23:16He's looked at the male toilet.
23:19Then he's gone straight into the female toilet.
23:22So he's going to the women's toilet?
23:24Yeah.
23:24Let's see how long he's in there for.
23:2710 seconds.
23:2915 seconds.
23:32He's coming back out.
23:34And he's gone into the men's?
23:35Yeah.
23:39He's just peering, watching the bar area.
23:42What's he looking for?
23:47Is his hand...
23:48His hand's on his crotch.
23:52I'd say he's masturbating there.
23:55It's really disturbing, isn't it?
23:58I think he's getting himself excited at the thought of attacking.
24:03That is predatory behaviour.
24:09Emma and Adele closely monitor the man's movements as he hangs around the toilet area.
24:18Hold on, is that our victim?
24:26He's coming back in.
24:26He's coming back in.
24:27He's not even looking or trying to go.
24:29The men's his time.
24:30He's gone straight into the women's pool.
24:38She's just exited the toilet.
24:43He doesn't know that.
24:44He still thinks she's in those toilets.
24:48I think he's...
24:49He's followed away into the toilet.
24:55It's really terrifying to watch that.
25:00He's targeted her.
25:05At 1.20am, the man can be seen exiting the pub, shortly before the victim leaves.
25:13So I'm happy from the footage that we've watched now.
25:15We've got some really good imagery that we can use for press release for public.
25:20And also between the officers.
25:23The images of the man wanted in connection with the rape are circulated in a force-wide alert.
25:29I've got an image.
25:31Yeah.
25:33I'm going to send this through to you.
25:36And urgently released to the public.
25:39If you've got it in you to rape somebody, my opinion is the chances are that that's just a one
25:44-off.
25:45So we have to catch that person before we're able to do it to anybody else.
25:58Rach, do you want to just come over and have a look at this CCTV?
26:02Yes.
26:03It shows our suspect actually punches the bus stop.
26:10While reviewing CCTV for any further forensic leads,
26:16Joe has spotted the suspect shortly before the attack.
26:21This actual telephone box here is where our victim was raped.
26:25And he gives it a real hard punch.
26:28And he might have even cut the skin.
26:30Yeah.
26:30The offender, he's clearly got some anger issues, the way he was walking.
26:36And he's really punched this bus stop quite hard.
26:40He may have cut himself, so there may be blood on the bus stop itself.
26:45I'm thinking forensic opportunity straight away.
26:55So when you look at CCTV, you can see him punch around this area.
27:01So I'm going to kind of swab this area in the middle here.
27:06Coordinator Rachel Hughes is sent to swab the bus stop for any trace of skin cells left by the offender's
27:14punch.
27:17Unfortunately, there's no trace of any blood at all.
27:20So hopefully he gets some sort of cellular material from there.
27:24This bus stop is obviously open to the elements.
27:26With it raining, there's a possibility they could wash away evidence.
27:30Time goes on, DNA deteriorates, so, you know, time is the essence, really.
27:46One of our own officers has recognised a potential suspect from his patch that he covers.
27:54A known offender, who closely resembles the circulated CCTV image, has been identified by a police officer.
28:02So we're just doing some intel checks on this person now.
28:07He was interviewed in relation to an assault with intent to cause serious harm at the end of 2019.
28:15Again then, a malicious wounding at the end of 2017.
28:21Interviewed again for another assault with intent to cause serious harm.
28:25So there's a history of violence from this person.
28:30And the victim states this was such a vicious attack.
28:35So that matches.
28:39He had me from behind and continually hit me.
28:46With blows to my face and my head.
28:49So when is he hitting you?
28:51What's he using?
28:53His hands.
28:53Again, when you say his hands, are we talking?
28:56What are sort of fists?
28:57Vists.
28:59It happened really fast, so it's like my head is a bit fuzzled.
29:06Again, I'm sorry.
29:10We've got images of him on our systems.
29:14There is a striking resemblance in relation to the image.
29:19The hair on the top, the same, similar age.
29:23Everything is pointing that this is potentially our suspect.
29:26So I think it's really important that we get him straight in.
29:30We've got to act fast.
29:31We're not going home today until he's in custody.
29:34Because we cannot have that man walking around these streets a second longer.
29:43An arrest team heads directly to the suspect's address.
29:59Police!
30:01What's going on?
30:02You can run under the right side.
30:03For what?
30:04For rake.
30:05For rake?
30:05Yeah, yeah.
30:06Are you being serious?
30:07What are you doing for rake?
30:08Are you serious, bro?
30:11That's a big allegation, you know?
30:13Are you serious?
30:13Do something about it, please.
30:14Try as a dog.
30:15I know.
30:15It's a dream I'd be able to do it.
30:17Right.
30:17End the damn power, yeah?
30:19Grape, you know.
30:20Come on, boy.
30:23We're waiting for forensics.
30:24I think if we do a search of the premises, try and locate whatever we can find.
30:29In my opinion, he holds quite a likeness.
30:31Yeah, it's a strong likeness.
30:32It's a strong likeness.
30:43Two and a half days after the rape, police have a suspect in custody.
30:48What have you been asking for?
30:50Very close.
30:53This is my...
30:56Is there proof of this?
30:58Have you got proof of this?
31:04Joe Ward, crime scene coordinator.
31:06Hi, Joe.
31:07It's Adalia from Rasa.
31:08So, I'd like to speak to you in relation to the guy that we've got in custody already.
31:13So, yeah, so we need to hopefully come up with a bit of a forensic strategy.
31:17Yeah.
31:18When we get a suspect in custody for a sexual offence, what we're looking for is any trace of DNA
31:24that belongs to the victim.
31:26The offender is caught on CCTV, which is circumstantial.
31:30Because the picture may not be clear or people view CCTV differently from person to person.
31:36So, I'm really conscious of trying to get as much forensic evidence to provide that link between the suspect and
31:42victim.
31:43Obviously, because she was punched quite a few times, I'll get the oversized photograph of the palms and the backs
31:48of the hands.
31:49We'll do, like, her fingered out clippings and also kind of scrapings as well.
31:54Her DNA under his nails underneath.
31:56And it may be that, even though he's washed his hands, there still may be some kind of blood still
32:00underneath his nails.
32:01And I presume you're doing the sexual swabs, are you?
32:05Yes.
32:05They're going to be done, are they?
32:06Yep.
32:06He's in a dry cell and we're going to complete all of those with the medical staff at the custody.
32:12Brilliant.
32:18While the suspect is held in a dry cell to prevent him from washing away any evidence, tests are underway
32:26to forensically connect him to the attack.
32:32First, we're just going to photograph the underwear as they've been received.
32:40What we're looking for is any trace of semen, because hopefully we would be able to get DNA from the
32:47actual semen.
32:48Or there may be some cellular DNA that's transferred from his hands where, you know, he's touched the underwear and
32:54pulled the underwear off.
32:58Forensic examiner Jamie Lee Knight starts by testing for skin cells that the suspect may have transferred from his hands
33:06to the underwear.
33:10We're going to mini-tape the outside waistband, because the offender has grabbed the victim from behind and pulled their
33:18clothing down.
33:19And we're just looking to target any areas that the suspect might have come into contact with.
33:28Now that the cellular has been taken, onto screening for semen.
33:35So I'm just making sure that the item is wet enough for any semen staining that's present to be transferred
33:42to the blotting paper.
33:45Next, the blotting paper is tested for the presence of semen.
33:50If acid phosphatase is present, we'll get a purple reaction to come up on the blotting paper.
34:06This purple indicates the presence of semen.
34:09That's a very strong positive.
34:12I don't know.
34:20While the underwear will undergo further testing to look for the offender's DNA,
34:28detectives are preparing to question the suspect.
34:35I've got a lot of questions that are going to be asked of him.
34:37Our suspicions are that it's him.
34:40It's on him to tell us where he was, to prove to us that that's not him that's committed that
34:44attack.
34:51I would like to read out a prepared statement.
34:55I vehemently deny all of the allegations against me.
34:58I was not present at the scene of the alleged assault and rape.
35:01I'd never met this person in my life.
35:04Although I do not recall where I was on Saturday,
35:08I was not near Peribar train station.
35:11I will now be answering no comment to all questions put to me.
35:18I appreciate that statement, but obviously we've got some further questions that we need to answer.
35:25I'll show you some CCTV captured from the Weatherspoons in one stop in Peribar.
35:34Do you recognise the measurement?
35:37No comment.
35:37Is that you?
35:39No comment.
35:41Is there anybody that you were with that could verify where you were and that you weren't there?
35:45No comment.
35:48So you say this is the case of mistaken identity.
35:52Of you can't tell me what you were doing.
35:54You can't offer me any names of anybody that will be able to verify your whereabouts.
36:01It's hard to believe.
36:03I don't know, it might just be my opinion, but it's hard to believe that you can't remember what you're
36:06doing on Friday night.
36:07It's the only reason why you wouldn't want to remember that.
36:10No comment.
36:15If someone goes no comment, I think what you're hiding, if you're innocent, why have you not given an account?
36:23Why have you not told the officers where you were so that they can then check that and this would
36:28all be over?
36:35I don't think at this point we've got enough to charge, so we're now relying on the forensics to take
36:40us further forward with him.
36:42With the suspect refusing to answer any questions, detectives have 24 hours to charge or release him.
36:57So I'm just going to cut a strip out of this top layer.
37:01At Eurofin's laboratory, Jamie Lee concentrates on the section of underwear which tested positive for semen.
37:09in a bid to find any sperm heads containing the suspect's DNA.
37:16We tease apart the fibers.
37:20So basically if there's any sperm heads trapped within them,
37:24just making sure that when we put our reagents onto them,
37:30it's the best possible chance of them being released.
37:33A centrifuge machine is used to separate the more dense sperm particles.
37:46Next, Jamie Lee adds a dye to stain the sample.
37:50If any sperm heads are present, they will turn red.
37:58It's really faint.
38:04There's 80 to 300 million sperm heads in an average ejaculation.
38:11But on this slide, I can only see a single sperm head.
38:20Forensic science has come on massively since I joined.
38:25From needing quite a large amount to obtain a DNA profile,
38:29you know, you need a pin head size.
38:32But in this case, we've got one sperm head.
38:36And it's a difficult process.
38:39So I'm really hoping that the scientists can actually still work with that
38:42and be able to achieve a DNA profile that matches this person in custody.
38:51While the single sperm head is fast-tracked for DNA extraction and profiling,
38:57Joe reviews evidence from the suspect.
39:05So this is the male that is currently in custody for the rape offence.
39:10Just looking through the photographs that were taken earlier today.
39:17The discovery of CCTV showing the offender punching a bus stop
39:22has prompted her to focus on his hands.
39:26When you're punching a hard surface with some force as well,
39:29which it was clear from the CCTV,
39:32he really did punch it at force.
39:35What I would expect to find is some visible injuries to the hand,
39:40and it was his right hand.
39:41He's also punched the victim several times.
39:44And again, I would expect to find some swelling or some bruising.
39:49On the left hand is what appears to be old scarring.
39:55But there really isn't any visible injuries whatsoever to the right hand at all.
40:01So that's a little bit concerning.
40:09Joe, there's some issues with lack of injuries.
40:13From the level of injuries that she's got,
40:16and how many times he's actually punched her,
40:18I would have expected some kind of injury to his hands.
40:21Certainly his right hand, which is used, and there's nothing at all.
40:26The victim states to me during her interview
40:30that he's definitely either Kurdish, Romanian,
40:34she said that type of accent.
40:35Having listened to the interview, the guy they've just interviewed,
40:38unless he's put on an accent the whole way through it,
40:40he definitely does not have an Eastern European accent.
40:42There's just a few things now that are just starting to give me concern
40:45about the guy in custody.
40:47So we've got someone in custody,
40:49and at this moment we haven't got anything but an identification
40:53to put him there.
40:54It's a really difficult position to be in.
40:56What we need is forensics to say,
40:59yeah, we've found some DNA.
41:01We've got the right person in custody.
41:03Or say it's not him.
41:06With the 24-hour custody clock to charge the suspect running out,
41:12detectives are granted a 12-hour extension
41:14to carry out further enquiries.
41:28So the first footage we've got after the offence,
41:31he starts to walk up Birchfield Road.
41:37With the suspect giving no account of his movements,
41:40Rob is trying to further pinpoint where he went after the attack
41:44by widening the CCTV's search radius
41:47to three miles from the phone box.
41:50It's a very manual, very time-consuming part of the job.
41:55We've recovered hundreds of hours of footage
41:57that needs to be reviewed using a track-and-trace principle
42:01where we identify where somebody goes off-camera.
42:04And then he crosses over onto Harry away.
42:09We then try and find the next camera on that room.
42:13The next footage we've got, he appears on the left-hand side,
42:17walking up towards the right.
42:23And then, a few minutes later,
42:26a second male, wearing a green jacket,
42:28walks in the same direction.
42:30Rob has discovered footage of what appears to be the suspect
42:34with another man, 15 minutes after the attack.
42:39We're not sure of the identity of the second male,
42:42but obviously we know that he wasn't involved in the actual fence
42:44because we've got the footage of that,
42:46and that shows that this male was acting alone.
42:50You can see that there's some movement on the left-hand side.
42:54These two males are our males that we've been tracking.
42:58Now, in the corner of this footage, you can see there is a dark-coloured van.
43:01It looks potentially blue.
43:04And the lights turn on and the doors seem to open and close.
43:08And at around 2.40 in the morning,
43:14the van, the lights turn on and it drives away.
43:19So, we now know that 55 minutes after the effects,
43:23the suspect has driven away.
43:24Right now, we need that blue van.
43:26That's what we need to find.
43:28Because that is our main link now between the suspect and the offence.
43:33Using automatic number plate recognition,
43:36the van is tracked from the time the offender drives away
43:40until later that same morning.
43:43Have you got it?
43:45We've got the vehicle anywhere.
43:48Have a look.
43:52After identifying the van's number plate,
43:55detectives are able to link it to an address.
43:59I've picked onto this person,
44:03who is Cornel Gabriel Philly Patch.
44:08He matches the description.
44:11Do you not think his hair is a bit...
44:13No, I think when you look at the hairline,
44:15on the moving footage,
44:17matches the hairline now, looks like...
44:23Right. So, we've now got a name?
44:25Yeah.
44:28Police have now identified a second potential suspect.
44:3221-year-old Cornel Philly Patchy.
44:38We've got a name, we've got an address.
44:41He's driving that van straight after that attack.
44:44It's only circumstantial at this stage,
44:45so we need to get him in as soon as possible.
44:52Despite police already having a man in custody,
44:56an order is issued for Philly Patchy's immediate arrest.
45:03Police!
45:03Police!
45:05Open the door!
45:08Open the door!
45:09We'll be put in!
45:17Bathroom's clear.
45:18What have we got? Is that a man?
45:20Yeah, yeah.
45:23Get you under arrest on a stitch of rape.
45:25Well, stand up.
45:26Turn around, sit down.
45:29What's your name?
45:31Huh?
45:31Pardon me.
45:41Let's go.
45:43Three and a half days after the attack,
45:46Cornel Philly Patchy is brought into custody to be questioned.
45:53Um...
45:53What's your name, please?
45:58It was this house.
46:00They gave me in the holding cell.
46:02So, Cornel, yeah?
46:04And the offences...
46:05Right.
46:06OK.
46:07What language would you like to speak in?
46:09Romanian.
46:09Romanian.
46:10OK.
46:12What do you do for work?
46:14I can speak in Romanian.
46:18The arrest of a second suspect presents Senior Investigating Officer Emma Watson
46:23with a unique dilemma.
46:26I've got two suspects in custody.
46:28Only one of them can have committed the offence.
46:31That first suspect...
46:33I don't want to release him,
46:35because I'm still not confident that it isn't him.
46:39The fact that police officers identified him,
46:42and I know he's a violent offender.
46:44And we need to protect the public from a potential rapist.
46:48But with Cornel Philly Patchy,
46:51I've got a name that's Eastern European,
46:54and victim describes him as Eastern European.
46:56The accent, that fits.
46:59Face fits.
47:00The CCTV.
47:02But without that forensic evidence,
47:04I can't say that it is him.
47:07Let's go.
47:13Police now need to capture any potential DNA evidence
47:17which may link Philly Patchy to the victim.
47:21Open your mouth.
47:25Even though it's a few days after the offence,
47:28there are still opportunities to get forensic evidence from him.
47:33It may be that he's not washed his clothing since the offence.
47:36He may have not showered.
47:40Flip your hand over for me.
47:45Intimate swabs will also be analysed for any traces of the victim.
47:53And have a look at your hands, please, sir.
47:58These little marks here, can I photograph those, please?
48:01But there's no...
48:02Yeah, I...
48:03What you take, don't help me.
48:06No, I appreciate...
48:07No, I'm not either, but...
48:09Take the picture, take the picture, take the picture.
48:12You can take a picture, no problem.
48:14OK, let's look at this.
48:18On the D suspect's hands, there are visible injuries which are encouraging.
48:25So he's got to explain those injuries.
48:31Just in that room, what happened?
48:40Can I ask you to state your full name, please?
48:44Cornel.
48:46Filipachi.
48:48You were arrested for the offence of Ray.
48:53Where were you the late night of 17th of January and early hours up to 7am the 18th of January?
49:00No comment.
49:02So that evening, did you visit a Weatherspoons public house?
49:06No comment.
49:09No comment.
49:10So the footage there shows, well, I believe it's yourself.
49:13No comment.
49:13Hitting a female three times to the face and the head.
49:16Is that you in that footage?
49:18No comment.
49:20Did you drag her to a phone box?
49:22Did you pull her underwear down?
49:26Did you vaginally rape this female?
49:30No comment.
49:32Does this kind of thing excite you?
49:35Preying on vulnerable lone females on the street?
49:39No comment.
49:41I'm just so frustrated that the best evidence that we've got at this time is only circumstantial with the CCTV.
49:49Just can't get clearing off CCTV to identify which ones commit the offence.
49:57Unless forensic tests come back conclusively linking one man to the attack, detectives may have to release both suspects.
50:17A specialist laboratory has been attempting to extract DNA from the single sperm head found on the victim's underwear.
50:31JOSEPH
50:32Joe has been sent their report.
50:40Good morning, Central Russell. I'm Watson speaking. Can I help?
50:42Hi, it's Joe.
50:44I've just literally received the update from the lab with the results of the underwear.
50:49yep a single sperm head was observed but that's come back inconclusive the
50:58samples too weak God's right okay it's quite disappointing really I was
51:07hopeful for a positive result in a name but fingers crossed to further testing
51:13from the cellular DNA and get us a result okay this feels like a massive
51:19setback the process of extracting sperm head from semen is tricky and we're not
51:24getting the results through you know and that really worries me at this time
51:30with police lacking a forensic link to either suspect and an approaching
51:35deadline to release them one last test remains a full DNA profile has been extracted from skin
51:53cells on the underwear touched by the attacker so we've had a clear major which is matching the female
52:03and then you've got these additional components which indicate only the presence of one more
52:09person senior reporter Charlotte Hargreaves now checks to see if the profile matches either suspect so we
52:18can do a direct comparison to the DNA profile of the initial suspect so here is a 21.2 27
52:28and coming to
52:30the crime stain result there's no 21.2 and there's no 27 this area he's a 14.2 15 here
52:40and then if I go
52:43on to the crime stain there's no 14.2 or 15 this individual has not contributed DNA to this result
52:54Charlotte is able to show that DNA from the first suspect is not present on the victim's underwear next she
53:03moves on to examine DNA from the second suspect so you can see that this 16 does match Cornell
53:15so the patchy again we go to the next area 13 16.2 so you can see that those two
53:23DNA components are
53:24represented here all the way through you can see that all of his components are represented in these
53:32smaller ones so in my opinion Cornell Philip Hatchie's DNA profile does match to DNA components present in the
53:42closely closely analysis of these findings shows that the DNA result is a billion times more likely to
53:51be from Cornell Philip Hatchie the knot
53:59I've got some really really really good news oh brill the samples taken from the underwear they've
54:07obviously been compared and it's actually matched Cornell Philip Hatchie so really really pleased oh
54:13that is brilliant I should go brief everyone thank no brilliant thanks ever so much for letting me know and
54:18I'll I'll just brief everyone let them all know and then I'll get back in touch with you about what
54:22we
54:22do next this is the forensic evidence that we were waiting for that has tied it all together to get
54:29the
54:29news in that you've got the right person in custody it can't be anyone else to be able to go
54:34tell the
54:35victim that we've got him he's just it's just such a relief so you're fitting to be released yeah oh
54:43she's
54:44so give me a signature in that box please but the other side of it is is that we were
54:51able to clear an innocent man to be able to say
54:55forensically it wasn't him means that I can release him most important is we'll be able to charge a dangerous
55:03offender because forensic evidence now there's no denying it there's no arguing with it he cannot account for why his
55:10DNA is in her
55:11underwear other than he's commit the offence
55:24okay so Cornell you will be charged with the offences that have been authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service
55:32so the first offence is an offence of rape the second charge is one of GBH with intent you will
55:41be aware of how serious these charges are is there anything else that you want to to say no there's
55:51lots of emotions to go through your head I think the level of violence that was used really put an
55:58urgency on it the officer will take you back to your cell now I certainly didn't feel that he had
56:04any remorse or any
56:04regret about what had happened the important thing now is the person that we believe has committed this offence is
56:11off the street
56:25I'm as confident as I can be we've got a strong case and I'm hopeful we can get it across
56:31that line
56:56and I'm glad we can get it across the line
56:58and now we're just out of course and now we're all done and dusted
57:00um 15 years uh reduced to 10 on his his early guilty plea so great work all done really good
57:08evidence oh that's brilliant news really really pleased that um we've obviously got justice for
57:13the victim this case for me has been a bit of a roller coaster um you know i was quite
57:19concerned
57:19at one point that um we weren't going to be able to get any dna from the underwear um so
57:25it's a
57:25massive relief forensics was crucial in this investigation it put a violent and dangerous
57:35male behind bars the evidence was that strong that cornell has felt you know he had no alternative
57:42but to plead guilty of course we can't forget the most important person in all of this and that's
57:49our victim it it can't be easy and i know you never get over something like this but i can
57:55just hope
57:55that this is the start of her rebuilding her life and her future
58:25is
