00:00Police emergency.
00:09Can you get police in Brisbane, please?
00:11Now, now.
00:12There's people stabbed in front of the station.
00:15Stabbing, have you seen someone in Stab?
00:18Yes.
00:20I don't care what world you are.
00:21Come down to Brisbane, I see.
00:27Can we get them?
00:28Can we move back?
00:30Yes.
00:31Leading out from here.
00:34Victim's girlfriend.
00:36What's your name?
00:37I got three.
00:39What's your name?
00:40Equal.
00:41Who approaches you?
00:42Five or six of them just came running and all I see was a big knife come towards me.
00:46It was probably to do with the big ownership.
00:48He's clapped.
00:49You know he's got no ribbon.
00:51I ran over and I just see Shane and all the others were small.
00:55I like the big thing, Shane.
00:57He didn't even do nothing.
00:58Oh, I don't want his mum to come here.
01:02I just can't imagine how hard she's going to be.
01:04One patient.
01:05The Stabby and the Fire.
01:06Go there, go on.
01:07A serving metropolitan police officer has been charged with kidnap, rape and murder.
01:20Damning report found it to be institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic.
01:26The Met commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, has vowed to restore the public's trust and confidence
01:35in the police.
01:36Policing needs to be the best and we've totally failed in this regard.
01:39He's very choking me.
01:52I'm from the modern slavery team.
01:55How's your English?
01:55Give her justice and tell us where that poor girl's body is.
02:01Straight red, straight red.
02:02No!

02:24There's ten of you here for one fourteen-year-old.
02:26No!
02:26No!
02:27No!
02:28No!

02:42Detectives have named a man who was stabbed to death near Brixton Tube Station.
02:49Shane Jerome was 23 and lived in Thornton Heath.
02:53Witnesses say he was stabbed with a machete.
02:57Shane Jerome was riding a motorbike during the filming of a music video
03:01when he was fatally stabbed.
03:03His attacker fled the scene.
03:07Beginning the hunt to find the killer
03:09is one of the Met's 20 specialist major investigation teams.
03:15Everyone, if I can have your attention.
03:17I'll sit down with those that are leading on the Witnesses CCTV.
03:23Detective Inspector Joe Sidaway is coordinating the investigation.
03:28Rob, can you just give a quick précis of where we are with the family?
03:33I made contact with the father of Shane Jerome.
03:36He's described Shane as a person that got on with everybody.
03:39And he's very popular.
03:41He was a scaffolder by trade and he worked full-time.
03:44He takes part in these music videos on his motorbike.
03:47But he doesn't know why this has happened.
03:50OK, thanks, Rob.
03:52What's difficult for us to understand at this stage
03:55is there's no obvious reason why anyone would attack Shane.
03:59There's no suggestion that the victim was involved
04:02in any incident, a precursor incident.
04:07He's just a scaffolder living in Croydon with mum, dad,
04:11no affiliations to gangs.
04:14He doesn't know the rapper who is unharmed.
04:18He's literally been hired to participate in this music video.
04:22It's been 12 hours since Shane's murder.
04:36Police have seized footage from the CCTV cameras
04:39covering the busy high street.
04:41Detective Greg Gibson is reviewing over 200 hours of footage.
04:49You have to basically follow everyone, anyone involved.
04:54The victims' group in this case will be easy.
04:57You know, they've got big flash cars.
04:59You can see the convoy on Cold Harbour Lane.
05:04But we need to identify the suspect group,
05:07then track them up to the point where the murder occurs.
05:14Greg focuses on the moments after the convoy has passed.
05:18This is about five minutes away from him being fatally stabbed.
05:24Now, you can see a group focused on that convoy.
05:33They look agitated.
05:36But it's these four that change direction
05:39effectively tracking the victim group.
05:49The attack itself has been caught on CCTV,
05:52but crucially, a double-decker bus is blocking this camera's view
05:57of the exact moment Shane is stabbed.
06:01We're very lucky that the area is so widely covered in CCTV.
06:06And with that CCTV, we've identified our suspect group.
06:12This man here, he appears to be identical
06:15to the male carrying the knife.
06:17But we don't know whether there's another male behind that bus
06:25who also has a knife.
06:28So we still have to work out who has stabbed Shane.
06:36So there's the victim.
06:40These are probably the last shots of our victim, aren't they?
06:44Yeah.
06:46Shane was being filmed for a video
06:48by a Croydon-based rapper,
06:50and police have seized the footage
06:52in the hope the film crew has captured the murder on camera.
06:59Potentially around here.
07:03Is this the bus?
07:04Yeah.
07:06So this should be exactly right where it happens.
07:09Um, I think it's just stopped.
07:21Can you believe that?
07:23That literally stops five, ten seconds before it's attacked.
07:28You can't make it up.
07:29Come on.
07:37Right, let me show you what I've got.
07:40This is the front camera,
07:41front of the bus.
07:4420 hours into the investigation,
07:47Greg receives CCTV footage from the bus
07:50that was blocking their view of the stabbing.
07:53Here's your victim.
07:55Right alongside the bus.
07:57Here's your suspect here.
08:05You see the flashing lights on the Boris bike?
08:09Mm-hmm.
08:10Gets the knife out straight away.
08:16One stab straight out.
08:19That's it.
08:20The footage shows that the suspect,
08:24previously seen running behind the bus with the knife,
08:27did stab Shane.
08:28That's pretty clear.
08:37It's this guy.
08:41Stripes down his legs.
08:43That's so key.
08:45All right, Jay?
08:46Found the footage,
08:47like,
08:48showing the actual murder.
08:49Hiya.
08:57All right,
08:58so as this bus stops,
09:00you'll see the suspect
09:02come up on a Boris bike,
09:05knife out.
09:06Oh, that is a big one.
09:06Wow.
09:06You'll see the victim
09:09start to back up
09:10and then
09:11he literally just gets,
09:14he goes straight in for the chest.
09:16One blow.
09:18Wow.
09:21You can see the blood on the knife.
09:24It's horrendous, isn't it?
09:25Four blokes didn't stand a chance,
09:33didn't he?
09:33The size of that knife.
09:36But the real question is,
09:38who is he?
09:50Hello, police.
09:51What's your emergency?
09:52Hi,
09:53I'm not hearing a woman screaming
09:54and this guy's, like,
09:55false match.
09:56He's still going on now.
09:58He's grabbing her.
09:59He's pulling her down.
10:01Need to get the police here now, man.
10:03Sorry, it's okay.
10:04It's another recorded call coming in.
10:07Emergency response officers
10:09Jay and Sade
10:10are on a night shift in Wimbledon,
10:12one of London's most affluent suburbs.
10:16A member of the public
10:17has called police
10:18after witnessing an argument
10:19in the street
10:20between a man and a woman.
10:23It came in as,
10:24from the informant
10:25that a female was screaming
10:26and then she was out
10:28roadside
10:31and a male was physically attacking her.
10:39She's off.
10:40She's off, she's off, she's off, she's off.
10:42I'm here, everything.
10:44Hello.
10:45Excuse me.
10:45Come here.
10:47What's happened?
10:49We've had a dispute
10:50and she's moving way over the top.
10:52Okay.
10:52She's drunk.
10:53We're both drunk
10:54and she's moving way over the top.
10:56Okay.
10:56Are you guys all right here for a minute?
10:57I'm just going to catch up with the victim.
10:59All right.
10:59Stop swearing.
11:00There's no need for that, is there?
11:02What's happened?
11:03We need to find out what's happened.
11:05Call in 2-1.
11:07Go on.
11:08Just had a catch up in the second
11:09from a witness who's stating
11:11that I've seen a knife
11:13during this incident.
11:16Control, just confirm
11:17who had the knife,
11:18female or the male?
11:20Male.
11:21Yeah.
11:23Yeah.
11:24Not specific.
11:28There's been mention of some weapons and things.
11:30Weapons?
11:30Do you know what the team is?
11:32As long as it...
11:33A bit of new information, that's all.
11:34Listen, listen.
11:36It mentioned weapons and knives and things.
11:38Do you search?
11:39Do you search?
11:39Okay.
11:41The man is detained and searched
11:43to check the reports of a weapon
11:45whilst his details are run through the database.
11:48Have you got anything?
11:50No, bro.
11:50I ain't.
11:51Search me, bro.
11:54Suspect is in cuffs.
11:57He's well known to police.
11:58He's been arrested several times before.
12:01He's also been in and out of prison
12:02and for violence offences.
12:08Officers are also told
12:09the man may have weapons in his home.
12:13So he is taken to the police station
12:15whilst Jay and other units search his flat.
12:20The door's open.
12:22Are you guys all right here?
12:24Yeah.
12:24This bit?
12:25If you've got a fine, can you shout out
12:26and come over to me and tell me what it is?
12:32No.
12:32Any cuts in it?
12:33Any cuts in the thing?
12:36No?
12:37Happy?
12:37Yeah.
12:38Standing knife.
12:52Yeah.
12:53Standing knife.
12:54Laid out, ready to use.
12:59Oh.
13:01Right.
13:02We've got that in a bag.
13:04Oh, yeah.
13:09That one's cannabis.
13:15That one's cannabis.
13:18Yeah, we've got cash.
13:22Who carries cash now?
13:23I would say he's involved in some level of criminality.
13:28We've found a lot of cannabis.
13:31But also a set of scales, money, and a couple of phones,
13:35which would suggest maybe a low-level dealer of sort.
13:41As well as Class B drugs worth an estimated £3,000,
13:45Jay makes another discovery.
13:48Oh!
13:49Jesus Christ.
13:53It's a handgun.
14:01Metal pellets.
14:02That looks like a...
14:03It looks like a BB pistol.
14:07If someone pointed that at me,
14:09I'd probably shoot myself and run a mile.
14:10Hey, 2-1, you might want to come downstairs, then.
14:20Yeah, we're coming.
14:22You might want to come down.
14:23Quick.
14:27While searching the garden behind the flat,
14:29there's another unexpected find.
14:33Wow.
14:34OK.
14:34We have found a shotgun.
14:42You let South West 1 know, please.
14:44And have we got a make-safe soccer on tonight by any chance?
14:50This has turned into something more than we thought, that's for sure.
14:55Something that was initially an argument in the street
14:58has now turned into us recovering a shotgun,
15:05a real firearm.
15:22Hi, is it Ingrid?
15:24Ingrid, hi, sorry to bother you.
15:25It's PJ, I'm a skipper, calling from the Predatory Offender Unit.
15:28Sergeant Paul Jones works for one of the Met's 12 Predatory Offender Units,
15:33tasked with tracking down violent and sexual offenders.
15:37We're looking for this lad who's on the run.
15:39I'm just desperately to find him.
15:42And we've basically got a manhunt for him starting today.
15:46And he's wanted for three counts of rape.
15:4920-year-old Dress Sahir has been accused of raping a 12-year-old girl.
15:53Our victim, she went missing to a hotel with this adult male
15:59she'd met on social media, on Snapchat.
16:01Dress.
16:02He was 18 at the time.
16:05Several months later, she makes disclosure in her diary
16:08that she was raped on that night.
16:10She wrote down here, what happened to the hotel.
16:15He was on top of me.
16:16I told him to stop, and he wouldn't.
16:19And then she goes on to describe the three separate offences,
16:25rape in the hotel room.
16:26It is just tragic reading, bluntly.
16:37That's our first account.
16:39And she tells us exactly what happened.
16:40The final kind of nail for him
16:45was the fact that we'd found semen in the clothing
16:48taken from the victim, and the DNA matched his.
16:53The investigation team now has enough evidence
16:56to arrest and charge Dress for rape.
16:59But he's been on the run for several weeks.
17:01So Paul's team has been brought in to hunt him down.
17:04He's an ongoing danger to children.
17:08We've found another, at least three or four girls
17:10that he's in contact with.
17:12Some as young as 10.
17:14He's been speaking to on Snapchat.
17:16That's when he's going to him.
17:19We can be tasked out on a daily basis
17:21who is our highest risk offender right now,
17:23and who can we take out now
17:25in order to protect the public.
17:28We're dealing with people that are really sly.
17:29They want to stay free,
17:30and they want to continue harming people.
17:32A lot of them have got a really prolific offending history.
17:37So we utilise different tactics
17:39to what maybe the standard officers do
17:41in order to get these people off the street.
17:45Carrying out up to 10 manhunts each month,
17:48the team of eight officers is specially trained
17:51in tracking dangerous fugitives.
17:56Let me give you the accounts that he's got.
17:58So we know he's got Santander, Monzo,
18:03and I'll see what else he's got.
18:03I think he had a Lloyds as well.
18:06Paul's team study Driss's bank accounts
18:09and phone records
18:10for clues as to where he is hiding.
18:15So we have some surveillance capability
18:17so we can look at people's financials,
18:19people's telecommunications.
18:21It gives us a different toolbox
18:23to what your general policing has.
18:27Ah, financials come back.
18:29No current active accounts anywhere they can find.
18:33Ah, right.
18:37We need something to track him on.
18:39Ideally a phone number.
18:39Dead.
18:44Dead.
18:45Dead.
18:47Dead.
18:49Phone numbers, he swaps out very frequently,
18:52SIM cards and handsets.
18:54He uses fake names, at least 20 A-lisses.
18:57He uses false addresses as well.
18:59The team has received reports
19:02from taxi companies
19:03about someone fitting Driss's description,
19:06running off without paying
19:07and giving lots of different addresses,
19:09all in a small area.
19:11He's given that address before,
19:12albeit we don't think it's a real one,
19:14we'll give it a go anyway.
19:15Two addresses there.
19:16We'll go two now.
19:18Let's do it.
19:19Last out, shut the door.
19:20MUSIC PLAYS
19:22We've got a girl who's now 13
19:35who is absolutely terrified
19:37that he's out and about.
19:39One of her family told me
19:40she's not been sleeping very well at all
19:41and most of it is about where is he
19:45and what's he doing.
19:46I think she's worried that he's going to
19:47come and find her.
19:53Hello, mate. You all right?
19:53Can we show you a photo of somebody?
19:56See if you know him.
19:56Is that all right?
19:57Sorry to bother you.
20:02Sir, that's in there.
20:03Have you ever seen that lad before?
20:06No?
20:07Sorry to bother you.
20:08Thank you very much.
20:09In there?
20:10No, I've never, ever seen this.
20:11Never seen him in your life?
20:14Thanks so much.
20:14Take care. See you later.
20:17The door-to-door inquiries
20:18have drawn a blank,
20:20but Paul has one more address
20:22he can try.
20:24His mum lives two roads away.
20:27So he's used it for taxis
20:28to get close to home
20:29and then walk home.
20:31Shall we go and knock on mum's door?
20:32We'll be lit you around the corner.
20:40Driss's mum says she doesn't know
20:41where he is,
20:43but agrees to call Paul
20:44if her son contacts her.
20:46But she let me put my number
20:48in her phone
20:48and in there,
20:49at the end of May,
20:50was phone calls with Driss.
20:51Yeah.
20:52With a telephone number.
20:54964?
20:54Yeah.
20:55964.
20:56Is that new?
20:56Yeah.
20:57Which here,
20:58we've never attributed to him before.
20:59Let's put that number through Optica
21:00and IIP
21:01and see what we can find.
21:03analysis of this new number reveals calls made
21:19to a youth hostel 24 miles away
21:21in Hertfordshire.
21:25There it is.
21:26EBU.
21:26If you can come and cover the car park,
21:33we'll go.
21:34Thanks, mate.
21:36Sarah's in the car park?
21:37Yeah, I'm going to go to Sarah
21:38so you can jump out through.
21:40OK.
21:43Where can I find Driss?
21:45It's in room four
21:46when we let you through.
21:48Lovely.
21:48Thank you very much.
21:49All right, just give me your hands.
22:05Give me your hands.
22:06Give me your hands.
22:07Give me your hands.
22:07All right.
22:10Cop on, cop on.
22:11Lower.
22:12All right.
22:13You're under arrest, OK?
22:16All right, you're under arrest.
22:17You're wanted for charge, OK?
22:19For three counts,
22:20raping a child under the age of 13.
22:23Yeah.
22:35Do you want to follow my colleague, Driss?
22:37It's going to be 11, mate, you, innit?
22:38Yeah, it's that way.
22:43In police interview,
22:45Paul confronts Driss with the victim's account.
22:51This interview's been recorded
22:52at Charing Cross Police Station
22:53and I'm interviewing
22:54can you state your full name?
22:55Driss to who?
22:56I know you spoke to a solicitor.
22:58Are you having a solicitor you've got?
22:59I know if you had time to consult with her.
23:00Yes.
23:02Can you explain why you booked a room
23:03to stay all night with a 12-year-old?
23:04Can you explain that at all?
23:06She tells us she was terrified
23:07and you told her
23:10you had killed people before
23:11and that you were wanted by police.
23:14Is that correct or is that a lie?
23:15No comments.
23:16She says you raped her three times.
23:20Is she lying?
23:22No comment.
23:24The jogging bottoms
23:24that she's wearing
23:25in that hotel with you
23:26has been tested for semen
23:27and that profile matches that of you.
23:30So can you explain to me
23:32the presence of your semen
23:34on these jogging bottoms?
23:36No comment.
23:36Hello again.
23:42You're going to be charged
23:43with three offences
23:44of rape of a girl under 13
23:46between the 20th of October 2019
23:49and the 22nd of October 2019.
23:52Contraining Section 5
23:53and Sexual Offences Act 2003.
23:55I didn't touch that.
23:56I actually didn't touch nobody.
23:59I swear to God.
23:59Our victim,
24:05he described somebody
24:06extremely confident,
24:07cocky,
24:08obviously forceful
24:10and then
24:11look at him in custody today.
24:13He's meek and he's mild.
24:14He acts like a little boy lost.
24:16I don't believe it.
24:18Don't believe it at all.
24:18Right, okay.
24:37I'm going to make a start.
24:39We do have CCTV
24:40of the actual stabbing now.
24:42Greg, would you update us?
24:43Bus CCTV picked up the murder
24:45shown in its entirety.
24:49It's been 36 hours
24:51since Shane Jerome
24:52was fatally stabbed.
24:55Specialist officers
24:56are piecing together
24:57multiple CCTV sources
24:58to identify his attacker.
25:01Bus footage
25:02captures suspect
25:02riding a Boris bike
25:05towards the victim.
25:06He's got a massive knife
25:07in his right hand.
25:09And then you see
25:11one blow to the chest.
25:14The suspect then
25:16goes down Electric Avenue
25:17so we've got
25:18resources down there.
25:23We've had a dog
25:24go through that area
25:25but that weapon
25:26is outstanding.
25:28And we'll go to
25:29witnesses.
25:30So if you can
25:31just bring everyone
25:32up to speed on
25:33where we are
25:34with the significant
25:35and key witnesses
25:36that we identified.
25:37So there's been
25:39a few secret
25:40statements taken.
25:41Probably one of
25:42the most important
25:43ones there
25:43is victim's
25:44girlfriend,
25:45Celica.
25:52Celica was
25:53following Shane
25:54on a quad bike
25:55and witnessed
25:56his murder.
25:58None of us
25:59see it coming.
26:01Shane was
26:01beside the Lamborghini.
26:04I remember
26:04the traffic lights
26:05going red
26:06and then it
26:07just happened
26:07like that.
26:08I just remember
26:09hearing screams.
26:13My initial thought
26:14was, why is
26:15everyone running?
26:16I was so confused.
26:19And I look back
26:20and I see
26:20the knife of blood.
26:22Then I realised
26:23Shane didn't run
26:24the same way as us.
26:25I could just hear
26:33the breath shallowing
26:35and I remember
26:36saying out loud,
26:38please don't go,
26:39like I need you here.
26:42The emergency services
26:43tried to bring him
26:44back and then
26:46the sergeant
26:47actually took my
26:48hand and said,
26:49Celica, I'm so sorry.
26:50We did the best
26:54that we could.
27:00Shane's never
27:00been involved
27:01with gangs.
27:02He's always been
27:02level-headed.
27:03He goes to work,
27:04he'll come home,
27:05he'll spend time with me,
27:06he'll spend time
27:06with his family.
27:08He had his whole life
27:09ahead of him.
27:12I don't know why
27:12he was stabbed.
27:13There's no,
27:15there's no reason.
27:19And now he's going
27:20to miss out on
27:20all the things
27:21that he should have
27:22been experiencing.
27:30With no leads
27:32on the identity
27:32of the suspect
27:33and no murder weapon,
27:35the officers turn
27:36their attention
27:37to the bike
27:37used by the killer.
27:38The Samsung
27:43derby,
27:44it's got GPS
27:45tracker fitted to it
27:46and it's consistently
27:48on the
27:48Summer-Layton
27:50estate.
27:51So it's likely
27:52to be a
27:52Summer-Layton
27:53gang member.
27:56This is a hypothesis
27:58but it looks
27:59like the convoy
27:59has done
28:00Snapchat videos.
28:04And in that,
28:05they're mentioning
28:05Brixton Market,
28:07an area that
28:08they maybe
28:08don't frequent
28:09or they're not
28:10from,
28:11which might be
28:12the catalyst
28:13for this all
28:14because this may
28:16have angered
28:16local youths
28:17in the area.
28:21This appears
28:23to be related
28:24to gang activity.
28:26I'm not suggesting
28:27for one moment
28:28that the rapper
28:29or the victim
28:30was involved
28:31in gang activity.
28:33Everything would
28:34indicate that he
28:35has been hired
28:36or played
28:37a peripheral part
28:38in a music video.
28:41But there is
28:43sufficient information
28:45at this stage
28:46to suggest
28:47that the victims' group
28:49making the video
28:50in the area
28:51where they were
28:51has led to,
28:54we believe,
28:55a local gang
28:56feeling affronted
28:58about their presence
28:59and seeking
29:00and seeking
29:00to take violent
29:01action towards them.
29:05That's our knife
29:06in there, isn't it?
29:07Yeah, 100%.
29:08He's the knife guy.
29:09He's got just
29:09track stick bottoms on
29:11and he's got the hood on.
29:12The CCTV images
29:17detectives have
29:18of the suspect
29:18aren't clear enough
29:20to identify him.
29:24But while analysing
29:26the footage
29:26from the bus,
29:28Detective Greg Gibson
29:29has found
29:29a vital clue.
29:33Is there another angle?
29:35Yeah.
29:35You see it there?
29:48Yeah.
29:48You see clear contact.
29:53It's definitely his hand.
29:55Is he gloved up?
29:56That looks like skin.
30:10It doesn't look
30:11like he's got a glove.
30:14The footage shows
30:15the suspect's hand
30:17touching the sports car.
30:21To capture
30:22a timed handprint
30:24in a murder case
30:25is
30:26extremely rare.
30:30Here,
30:30we've got
30:31the exact contact
30:32captured on film
30:33date, time
30:34during the murder.
30:37Any points of contact
30:39presents
30:40forensic opportunities.
30:43Hopefully,
30:44they'll be able
30:44to lift the palm print,
30:47test it against
30:47the database
30:48and get a match.
30:56The car has been seized
31:09by police
31:10and now
31:11forensic experts
31:12must try to identify
31:13the handprint.
31:15I can see
31:16some smears here.
31:18They carry out
31:19an examination
31:20using ultraviolet light
31:22to look for
31:23fingerprint ridges.
31:26See a palm in there
31:27but
31:28there's no ridge detail
31:30to identify someone.
31:32It's not good.
31:33The team focuses
31:37on the rear
31:38of the car
31:39in an area
31:40where contact
31:41was seen
31:41on the CCTV.
31:43It's more difficult
31:44on vehicles
31:45than it is
31:46on a lot
31:47of other property
31:48because of the reflective
31:49nature of the paint.
31:51They're the harder
31:52marks to do.
31:53Oh, what was that?
32:01Yeah, it looks like
32:02there's a little bit
32:02of palm.
32:04Quite a big palm
32:05as well.
32:11This is actually
32:12looking better.
32:14Yep.
32:14Got it.
32:17Excellent.
32:19Really good
32:20ridge detail.
32:23The palm marks
32:28look pretty clear.
32:30Maybe
32:30they'll match up
32:32to a suspect
32:32who's already
32:33on the database.
32:47This is
32:48Operation Burleson.
32:51Between
32:52Sunday the 11th
32:53of July
32:54and Thursday
32:55the 16th
32:55of September
32:56there were
32:56five separate
32:57indecent assaults
32:59on females.
33:00Sergeant Paul Jones'
33:01specialist manhunt team
33:03has been brought in
33:04to find another
33:05serial sex attacker.
33:07This time
33:07the identity
33:08of the man
33:09they are hunting
33:10is unknown.
33:12They all seem
33:12to be the same MO.
33:13We have a very
33:14similar suspect,
33:15very similar description
33:16anyway.
33:17It looks to me
33:18like they're following
33:18females off the tube
33:19at Dollish Hill,
33:20Kneesden
33:20or around the bus
33:21routes.
33:22So he's either
33:22following somebody
33:23off or he is
33:24just working
33:25in that area
33:26looking for females.
33:28We just need to
33:29find out who he is
33:29and identify who he is
33:30and catch him.
33:36Five women
33:37have been attacked
33:38in the past month
33:39all on their way home
33:40from tube stations.
33:43Paul's unit
33:44sets up covert
33:45surveillance
33:45at each of the stations.
33:50One of the victims
33:51has come in
33:52to make a statement
33:53to help build
33:54a picture
33:54of the attacker.
33:57I finished late.
33:59I left the tube station
34:00and I saw a man
34:02standing on the other
34:03side of the road.
34:04He started following me.
34:08I could feel his presence
34:10behind me.
34:12So, you know,
34:12in my head
34:13I was already like
34:14this is not good,
34:15this is not good.
34:17So as soon as
34:18I turned into
34:19my little road
34:20I could hear him
34:21like running
34:21after me
34:22and then
34:25one second later
34:26I was on the floor
34:26and
34:27like the whole world
34:29stopped then.
34:32So I started
34:33screaming for help.
34:35Like, help me,
34:35help me, stop me.
34:36So he started choking me
34:37and
34:39covering my mouth
34:41so I cannot scream.
34:43after some time
34:44I don't know
34:45what happened
34:45but he just stopped.
34:47He just
34:47fortunately
34:48he just left me.
34:58So the victims
34:59have walked out
34:59of the train station
35:01come down this road
35:02and through that alleyway.
35:03Generally night time
35:04he follows women
35:05single women
35:06away from the
35:08train station
35:09and
35:10assaults them.
35:12We don't know
35:13who he is yet.
35:14We've got someone
35:15who's actually
35:15targeting a specific area
35:16so all we've got
35:18is officers out
35:19covertly
35:21playing close
35:21and
35:22observation points
35:23trying to find him.
35:29There's been two
35:30offences in this road
35:30a couple of weeks apart
35:32two separate lone women
35:34attacked by him.
35:36CID has obtained
35:37CCTV
35:38covering the areas
35:39between the tube stations
35:41and the attacks.
35:42A home security camera
35:44has captured
35:44one of the sexual assaults.
35:48Victim walks down
35:49away from the train station
35:51and at this stage
35:52it's what we call
35:54a long follow.
35:56No one else
35:56on the street
35:57at the moment.
35:57And there's no suspect.
36:01Ten sets behind maybe
36:02matching her pace.
36:04Hood up.
36:10Look at where he's positioned.
36:12Look at that.
36:13Two paces back
36:14and he's positioned himself out.
36:16One, that's her point of escape
36:17so she can't get out
36:18and two,
36:19he can see everything
36:19coming ahead of her.
36:22He's getting closer and closer
36:24he's stalking her down this road
36:25he's keeping an eye on the front
36:26to make sure there's no witnesses
36:27where anyone's going to stop him
36:27from attacking her.
36:30Absolute prodigy behaviour.
36:40And if you keep watching
36:41another minute he'll come
36:43running straight
36:43there he is.
36:44Running straight back.
36:48We just need to find out
36:49who he is
36:49and catch him.
36:51This is a proper serial offender.
36:53There's definitely escalation
36:55because
36:55on the last offence
36:57he pinned
36:59the lady to the ground
37:01lifted up her skirt
37:02and touched her vagina.
37:06If we don't get hold of him
37:07I think it's only a matter of time
37:09before we rape somebody.
37:09this is this incident.
37:21Do you hear the noise there?
37:28It's chilling.
37:31Working alongside Paul's manhunt team
37:34CID detectives in Wembley
37:36review CCTV from one of the tube stations
37:39to try to identify the man responsible
37:41for the five attacks.
37:45So we're looking at the direction
37:45that the attack has taken place.
37:47And this is just post the offence?
37:49This is just post the offence.
37:51In a moment what we'll see
37:52is a fella running down this straight.
37:55There he is.
37:58From the description the victim's given
38:00he appears to be male
38:01with that description
38:02that build.
38:03Yeah.
38:05Here he comes running in.
38:09As you can see
38:10And he taps.
38:11Yeah.
38:16We've got a really good facial image there
38:18which we could search for.
38:19That's a very good facial image.
38:20What we'll now look to do
38:26is to identify which card
38:28has been used to enter the barrier
38:30with a view to looking at
38:31who that card is registered to.
38:33We obviously hope that will then
38:34lead us to who the offender is.
38:50What is this?
38:51I see.
38:51I see.
38:52I see.
38:52I see.
38:53I see.
38:54I see.
38:54I see.
38:55I see.
38:55I see.
38:56I see.
38:56I see.
38:57I see.
38:58I see.
38:58I see.
38:58I see.
38:59I see.
38:59Jai and Sade are responding
39:02to an urgent call from a 60-year-old woman
39:05who is threatening to harm herself with a gun.
39:12I see.
39:13I see.
39:14I see.
39:15I see.
39:16I see.
39:17I see.
39:18I see.
39:19I'll make you aware though.
39:21Yeah, all received.
39:25Control has assessed the risk
39:27and won't be dispatching a specialist firearms team.
39:31Hello, hello, hello.
39:33Hiya, it's the police, darling. Can we come in?
39:41Right, Georgina?
39:43Georgina, before we come in, do you have a gun in here or not?
39:46What are you going to do if I have?
39:49Right, answer the question. Do you have a gun in here or not?
39:52No. No, OK, we'll come in.
39:56OK, what's going on then?
39:57How... OK.
39:59No, I'm going to kill myself.
40:01Why do you want to do that?
40:02I want you to do it for me.
40:04We're not going to kill you, OK?
40:06At the end of my tether, I need to die.
40:10Why do you feel like that?
40:13I'm a coward.
40:14I haven't got the courage to take my own life.
40:20And I know that the police are the only ones that can do it for me.
40:25No.
40:27But we need to figure out, you know,
40:29the reason why you're feeling like this.
40:31Is there something we can do to help you?
40:34Would you like to go to the hospital?
40:36No, I'm not going to hospital.
40:39I just want a quick way out, basically.
40:43You've just hit a rut somewhere, haven't you, Milo?
40:45Yeah.
40:46And now you're sort of stuck.
40:47Get back out of that rut now.
40:48Yeah.
40:49Are you on medication for that?
40:53Yeah.
40:54Yeah?
40:55Is it helping?
40:56I'm drinking.
40:57It doesn't help.
40:58Right, OK.
40:59What antidepressants are you on?
41:01Citalopram.
41:02Citalopram.
41:03Yeah.
41:04Did you have sertraline as well?
41:06No, I've never had that.
41:07OK.
41:08I've never heard of that.
41:09It's a good one.
41:10I was on that for a little while.
41:11Really?
41:12I was, yeah.
41:13I had to take antidepressants at one point.
41:16Yes.
41:17Because I got myself into a rut as well.
41:18Control.
41:19We're now on to lock it.
41:20That's all right?
41:21Control from 2-4.
41:22Go ahead.
41:23Got an ETA for the ambulance, please.
41:25Yeah, unfortunately, no ETA.
41:27The mental health car is going on other calls.
41:29No words like ASAP.
41:31That was a last update about eight minutes ago.
41:34Yeah, that's all received.
41:38Officers are told it could take several hours before an ambulance
41:41will attend to Georgina.
41:44Is there anyone we can call to come over?
41:48Yeah, David.
41:50You got his number?
41:50I'll speak to him.
41:52Yeah, thank you, darling.
41:53That's all right.
41:55Hello, it's a police officer here.
41:57I'm just with your friend, Georgina.
42:00She's called us, basically, she's feeling suicidal.
42:04We were just wondering, I was asking if there's anyone
42:08that could come and sit with her before the ambulance get here.
42:13She suggested you.
42:15This has taken up an hour and a half, maybe, of our time now.
42:28David's here.
42:29Georgina, I wish you all the best.
42:31Yeah, all the best, Georgina.
42:32It was lovely to meet you.
42:37I'm going to give you a hug.
42:38Oh.
42:39There you go.
42:40Ooh.
42:41So many calls like this, where it's someone that's suicidal, and I, we're not really trained
42:51to deal with it or equipped to deal with it.
42:53We'll be on the plot in 25 minutes.
42:58Are you ready?
42:58Let's get briefed.
42:59Let's go.
42:59Paul's manhunt team have had a breakthrough in their hunt for a serial sex attacker.
43:05Transport for London have provided information about the suspects seen entering the tube station.
43:17Oyster card inquiries have come back. This is the male that I think is responsible for the assaults,
43:21Mohamed Yahya Alouche. I've got cell site data for his phone for the last two months. This is the premises that I believe he's staying at.
43:29We don't want to go in there, because what they have is a series of ladders here from the drone footage, and they can escape through there in about six different ways. We just can't cover it.
43:41The team intends to catch Alouche by the time.
43:44He's not going to go in there because what they have is a series of ladders here from the drone footage, and they can escape through there in about six different ways, because you can't cover it.
43:54The team intends to catch Alouche by surprise and head to a property they believe he is staying in.
44:01The sensible, safe, effective route is to take him on the street, follow him off, get him a distance away that he couldn't shout out for help, and calmly get him in cuffs. Just get him in cuffs.
44:19Right, we're right on top of where he should be.
44:28So that's the address there, up there, above the shop.
44:34That is the door. That's the door we're looking at.
44:36Lights on. Lights on, lights on, just come on.
44:49Right height, slim.
44:55I think so.
44:57One more, one more, one more towards.
44:59You take the follow, he's just come out.
45:03Yeah, active, active, out the door.
45:06Grey rucksack, blue jeans, to the left, left, left.
45:09That's our man.
45:23Grab him, grab him, grab him, grab him. Go.
45:28Right, police, police, stay there, stay there, OK?
45:31So you're under arrest for sexual assault of females.
45:40The team now needs to search Alush's flat to see if there is evidence that links him to the sexual assaults.
45:49Hello, police.
45:50Hello, police.
45:57Black hoodie.
45:59Take that for a start.
46:01T-shirt.
46:02It's got that, and it's got that.
46:04Yeah.
46:06Oh yeah, that's right, that's it.
46:08Great find.
46:11This result, a really good find.
46:13A top that matches what the offender was seen having running away from one of the other offences.
46:19And the trainers that match all of it he was wearing today.
46:22It's good, it's good, it's good. I'm happy.
46:29In custody, detectives challenge Alush with the footage before and after the assaults.
46:35Your solicitor, she's not with us. You're happy to proceed.
46:39OK, I'm happy, I'm just clear.
46:41I want to show you some CCTV.
46:43Is that you?
46:45No, I'm coming.
46:49What was the female screaming about?
46:51No, I'm coming.
46:54Just stand in here, buddy.
46:59After three weeks trying to track him using CCTV and items found in his flat,
47:05the police have enough evidence to charge Alush.
47:07So, you're going to be charged with four offences.
47:12The first three charges will be the sexual assault on a female.
47:16And the fourth offence you're being charged with is robbery.
47:21We start with your right hand, put his four fingers down.
47:26The effects on the victim range hugely.
47:31But a lot of the women I've spoken to will never ever feel truly safe again.
47:36Especially not walking down the street.
47:38I think to a lot of people that we target, in fact all the people we target really,
47:44they don't see women as human.
47:46I don't think they see it.
47:47Can everyone online hear me?
48:00Yeah.
48:01OK, let's make a start then.
48:03Some amazing progress overnight.
48:04We've got quite a lot of updates to give you.
48:07It's day three of the investigation into the murder of Shane Jerome.
48:11And detectives have made an important breakthrough.
48:15So I think if we start with Aaron first.
48:18The fingerprint laboratory got an eye dent on the palm print
48:22that was lifted from the Lamborghini late yesterday.
48:26As Greg pointed out on the CCTV, as the Lamborghini pulls away,
48:30he stumbles backwards.
48:31Quite clearly puts his hand down behind him onto the Lamborghini.
48:35That has identified a lad called Brandon Aldon McNeil.
48:40This is his custody image of a photo from a previous arrest.
48:43Brandon McNeil, this previous conviction for drugs, threats to kill,
48:47off-wet, AVH, possession of an imitation firearm,
48:51correct gang affiliations.
48:53His most recent intelligence was on the 10th of this month.
48:57It was an incident where he was carrying a machete.
48:59So, based on the fingerprint I dent, Brandon McNeil is our stabber.
49:05We need to get him in custody.
49:08Intelligence checks confirm that the suspect who left the handprint on the car
49:13is a member of a violent gang in Brixton.
49:16Brandon is wrapped around knife crime, gang crime, violence.
49:20There is clear evidence for murder in relation to our victim, Shane Jerome.
49:26Without doubt he is a dangerous person and clearly he's someone that we need to take off the streets.
49:34Trying to find out where he's been staying.
49:38There is two postcodes that regularly show up pre-murder.
49:43Got a number for him and we can hopefully try and cell-site him to an address.
49:48Yeah, we're off.
49:49Going to Lola and treat the briefing of the TSD.
49:54Using data obtained from the suspect's mobile phone, detectives identify an address in a block of flats in Kennington, South London, where they believe he could be hiding.
50:12Where they believe he could be hiding.
50:13That's those in here.
50:22ARCUPANTS, COME TO THE DOOR!
50:23ARCUPANTS, COME TO THE DOOR!
50:24POLICE RIP TASER, COME TO THE DOOR NOW!
50:29POLICE RIP TASER, COME TO THE DOOR NOW!
50:34Brandon, COME TO THE DOOR NOW!
50:35FEMALE, COME OUT!
50:36FEMALE, COME OUT!
50:37FEMALE, COME OUT!
50:38Come out now!
50:39That's it!
50:40You can see them!
50:41FEMALE, COME TO THE DOOR!
50:43Brandon, you're under arrest for the murder of Shane Jerome on the 21st of July this year on Bruxton High Street.
50:51Keep showing your hands, okay?
50:52And listen to me as I speak.
50:55That's it.
50:56Come closer to me slowly.
50:58Put your hands on your head.
51:00Keep walking slowly towards me.
51:05You do not have to say anything, but it might not be offensive if you do not mention one question, something which relates around in court.
51:13Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
51:20Take him down.
51:2118-year-old McNeil is interviewed and confronted with the images of the scene of the killing.
51:39This is of a bust.
51:41This actually shows the stabbing.
51:43Is that you, Brandon?
51:45Mm-hmm.
51:46What do you think of that footage?
51:48Mm-hmm.
51:49Because when I watch this footage, I find it quite shocking.
51:52You know, there's daylight.
51:54Someone's just plunged a knife into someone.
51:58What do you think?
52:00And where you swing and try to stab someone on the quad bite as well.
52:05That's why you're here for attempted murder as well.
52:09Do you own a knife like that?
52:13Mm-hmm.
52:14Do you carry knives like that?
52:15Mm-hmm.
52:17With Brandon McNeil in custody, officers search his home address for further evidence to link him to Shane's murder.
52:25Hello, mate.
52:26Hello, mate.
52:27I think we've got some key bits for our main man.
52:30We've got tracksuit bottoms.
52:31They're quite distinctive because they've got, like, a white stripe up the leg.
52:38We've found several exhibits that we're interested in in this bedroom.
52:45There's a samurai sword on there.
52:48Back in the living room.
52:50There's hunting knives.
52:53Seen to crimes officers.
52:55They're going to be testing that.
52:57They've got this very large sort of machete combat knife.
53:04Why you're even allowed to attain something like this, I don't know.
53:14Shane Jerome, does that mean anything to you?
53:17Mm-hmm.
53:18Did you have some problem with Mr Jerome?
53:21Mm-hmm.
53:23I'm just trying to get it into my head why someone would run up to someone and stab them through the heart.
53:29Through the hole.
53:30Yeah, that's it.
53:39Help, mate.
53:40Jump at me.
53:42He's got to speak to the sergeant now.
53:46Yeah, go on.
53:48Okay.
53:49Crown Prosecution Service made a decision to charge you.
53:51The first one is murder victim, one with Shane Jerome.
53:56Second charge is attempt murder.
53:58Third and final charge for your possession of a weapon in a private place.
54:02You've tried me for a murder by 100 miles.
54:04You don't have to say anything now that it may harm your defence.
54:07You don't mention when questioned.
54:08Something you lay to a line in court.
54:10Anything you do say may be given as evidence.
54:13I don't think Brandon McNeil will ever tell anyone why he picked specifically Shane out of the crowd.
54:19You know, it's clear that he was hell-bent on causing some serious harm.
54:24But for why, I don't think we'll ever really know.
54:29I can only assume that it is some loss of face that the gang believe they have to exert an authority and teach people a lesson.
54:39It's just extreme violence for no reason at all.
54:48It has devastated Shane's family.
54:52It's all really very sad.
55:00So this is Shane's bedroom.
55:03And how he left it.
55:05And I just can't bring myself to touch and move his stuff.
55:09I can't open the curtains.
55:11Because he shut them that night to come and get changed.
55:14And the towel's still on the radiator.
55:17That's all you've got left of Shane's life.
55:22I don't accept it.
55:24It's reality, but I don't want to accept it.
55:27Shane was the most loving person that he could come across.
55:33Always help everyone out when people needed their help.
55:37Probably about two weeks previous to what happened to him.
55:41I managed to tell him how proud I was.
55:46Only in a text.
55:48Got a message back.
55:50So we knew.
55:52And I can only hope that he felt the same way.
55:56But it was true to see.
55:57I'm sure it was true to see him him.
55:58You're a survivor of yet to pray.
55:59You're a survivor of yet to see him before he was on the other side.
56:00But I couldn't, you know,
56:02to be the next part,
56:04Let's not be the only one of us,
56:05You have to be the only one of us.
56:06You have to be the only one of us,
56:07A friend who made the other that he was for.
