The 'Night Stalker' first struck in 1992, raping an 84-year-old woman in her bungalow in Croydon. What followed was a sickening series of horrifying sexual assaults on elderly victims across south London, Kent and Surrey. All the victims lived alone and were woken in the night by a man dressed in black, his face obscured by a balaclava. He would shine a torch into their eyes, or switch off their electricity, before subjecting them to terrifyingly violent attacks. Detectives at one stage compiles a list of 21,000 possible suspects before officers working on Operation Minstead finally made a dramatic arrest in the dead of night. This is the full account of the man dubbed the 'Night Stalker', and the harrowing stories of his South London victims.
