Zara Aleena's killer refuses to turn up to court to be sentenced for her murder - and it emerges he stalked four other women before the attack
The 29-year-old sexually assaulted the aspiring lawyer before viciously stomping on her head.
He hid near a vegetable display outside waiting for her to come out, and she bolted, managed to get away from him before he decided to look for other women in Romford Road - with prosecutors saying it is "beyond dispute" she would have been attacked and killed. She was finally found by a couple who got help before being taken to hospital, where she died from 46 separate injuries."If she were able to speak today she would say I didn't do anything wrong," Farah Naz told the court."The lights have gone out in our family home. My sister has lost her only child, her supporter and her carer.""Everyday it is like pushing a rock the size of a planet. We don't feel well, physically, emotionally.
In all, he has 28 previous convictions for 69 separate offences including burglary, theft of a vehicle, criminal damage, assaulting police officers and assaulting members of the public while on bail.However, last month it was revealed that the sex predator had been recalled to prison just two days before her death.
