Nick Ross and Jill Dando present.
Cases include the murder of Thomas Marshall in Norfolk, the murder of Katrina Koneeva in London, an armed robbery in Leicester and a rape in Shepherds bush, London

Need your help right now on BBC 1 on the case with crime watch UK Good evening tonight on Crown watch new appeals on two child murders Thomas Marshall the 12-year-old whose bike was found abandoned near his home in Norfolk and Karina canava the school girl killed by a stalker in West London we’ve new sightings new evidence and new faces

That just might be familiar to you and a reconstruction of an armed raid at a store in Leicester where a gunman went berserk spraying Saturday Shoppers with cs gas we start with young Thomas Marshall his death has had huge publicity but in previous cases crime watch viewers have

So often come up trumps even when it seemed every Avenue had already been explored well let’s hope we can do the same tonight Thomas who was 12 went cycling from his home in ASB in Norfolk supposedly to nearby Eckles on sea to see a friend but the friend didn’t know

He was coming he wasn’t expecting him the next day Thomas’s bike was found in the opposite direction at brumstead common well later that day his body was found dumped in a layby on the a11 at Ram Heath near setford he’d been strangled detective superintendent Les parrot who’s leading the inquiry

Divulged last week that Thomas was a CB Enthusiast making friends over the airwaves with citizens band radio so what we now want to do is to piece together all the known Clues just in case something seems familiar to you and hopefully makes alarm bells ring now his

Friend as we said Thomas’s friend wasn’t expecting him he didn’t arrive his family say that he was rather excited about going out that evening could there have been perhaps a pre-arranged meeting with someone that he hadn’t told anyone about that is a distinct possibility we know from parents that Thomas was Keen

To go out that night he was excited as you say and there was a discussion about the time Thomas had to be in there is a Poss he had arranged to meet somebody that we don’t know about equally of course we could we can’t discount the fact that he

Could have been met by a stranger however his interests are of importance to us clearly through his CB radio he was known as jackpot and would sometimes refer to himself as radio Thomas he was a typical lad he was often out in his scamed the motorbike and his his

Pedalcycle so it’s possible he’s built up an association with somebody through these interests now as we said his body was found what 50 miles from his home in this layby no attempt was made to cover the body up you have a bit more information about that layby yes the the

Lbby just off the a11 it’s an incredibly busy road it’s one of the main routes in and out of Norfolk it was a bank holiday weekend so it have been especially busy at that time we know it’s frequented By Truckers and all forms of motorists there’s a picnic area there we’re also

Receiving information that members of the homosexual Community do frequent that area now I’m appealing particularly to members of that Community please please come forwards we need your help um we’re interested in Thomas’s killer we’re not interested in anything else and we’d obviously deal with any information in the strict his confidence

Now they were very few confirmed sightings of Thomas after he left home at 6:00 that evening weren’t there it seems to all intents and purposes that he’s vanished he just disappeared Into Thin Air but obviously you want people to just go back into their memories did they see any boy resembling Thomas yes

We do Thomas was quite distinct he his blonde hair and his dark clothing he was on his pedal cycle we know when he left his home address but he could have actually left his pedal cycle somewhere he could have been on thir he may have arranged to meet somebody and actually

Gone into a vehicle so clearly sightings of any boy fitting Thomas’ description in a vehicle anywhere in Norfolk really because the main the main route would go right through norch and out through the other side of the county let’s just remind people what he was wearing on that day

These black trainers obviously very distinctive a boy young boy just in Black added us trousers training trousers and a matching Adidas short sleeved t-shirt looking like this and remind us again about the bike yes the bike is quite distinctive it’s it’s a pinkish red in color has a very

Distinctive rear M mudguard uh that combined with the water bottle and a few other features I say with Thomas’s blonde hair his dark clothing he would have been distinctive best parot thank you very much indeed if you have any information please call 0500 600600 or the incident room in North Walsham on

01603 768 769 that’s 01603 768 769 now to the second of these appalling cases this one’s in the city rather than the country the victim was a girl rather than a boy Karina Cana but this time there’s a wealth of detail there are witnesses there are strong descriptions

And there’s a great deal of forensic evidence as with Thomas Marshall the murder made front page headlines it happened back in May on Thursday May the 22nd in Hammersmith West London 12-year-old Katarina and her family had moved to Britain from Macedonia about a year ago hi Mom her parents were here as students

Both children had settled well into local schools and as dad is painfully aware Katrina was an inspiration to her younger brother he miss his sister and he can’t explain how much he miss her he has pain he can’t explain his pain he has shock he can’t explain

His sh I’ll be out you have your tea down good luck hi every day TR took krina the first part of the journey to her school we going on bike on bus stop and just bus was coming I said you’re lucky you’re not going to wait long time

Today and she pick up bus it was just normal money Karina was a gifted pupil in a year she’ picked up perfect English was coming top in class and the Very day she died she was asked to stay back after school for a few minutes to collect a commendation thank you okay well

Done meanwhile back near Home in Hammersmith another school girl was walking home the dog barked and ran to the window and I walked to the window thinking it was my daughter coming in from school but it wasn’t it’s then then I saw this man walking along this way towards me

It was strange the way he was looking at her it wasn’t just a casual glance it was very intense sort of almost studying the girl I just felt that this man was going to stop and turn which he did I love my about 20 minutes later

Cathina and a friend arrived at the far end of the road at the between benbo road and ify road how much homework have you got loads but don’t talk to me about it I’ll see you then bye cathina walked the last few hundred yards on her own did anyone else see

Her normally at least one of katherina’s parents was home to greet her but today her father was held back at college for a fateful 15 minutes when I came near to the house and I saw front door from the house was open never is open I couldn’t Pro properly think but

Just my mind told me it’s Burger the burglar as he seemed to be astonished someone in a house opposite who saw him clamber out of the first floor window what were you doing in my house you don’t have time just to think and to realize what to do but after that I

Still decide to run after him he’s got a life he’s got a life found the police that guy was in my house where iFly Road found the police hold the police that man over there was in my house they couldn’t understand what’s happened just I was going in

Telephone box to call police I saw him trying to escape don’t let him don’t let him drive don’t let him drive don’t let him drive that man was in my house don’t let him drive help me help me well I thought he’d been mbed to something he looked quite a

Pathetic man let us once he got in the car then the face changed then he had this fenzy look don’t let him drive I then went to get the keys with my left hand he then produced a knife realizing the chase was done triche made his way back to his

Flat the man meanwhile drove only a quarter of a mile or so and abandoned the car in a bus stop on Shepherd’s Bush Road everyone remembers him clutching a bag as he boarded a 220 bus heading for wesworth Via Hammersmith 80 he had what’s described as a foreign accent and the driver saw

Blood on his cheek and stains on his shirt there was a man in my house the man got off the 220 when it reached Hammersmith bus station at roughly 10: to 5: the date again Thursday the 22nd of May did you see a man with blood on

His face and clutching a dark colored bag meanwhile triche and police officers had broken down the sitting room door and found kaarina strangled they tried mouth-to-mouth resuscitation but she couldn’t be revived it’s difficult to look on her picture because you can’t take it what happened

You you expect any moment to to come in the room and to sit with her to talk with her I miss her with everything she was that energy what gave me to be alive I mom I I’m waiting for her to come back I will never believe what

Happened hey M Campell I know you’ve discounted any political connection with this crime do you yet know what the motive is you haven’t revealed this yet no we’ve certainly explored a number of motives but it would appear now that this killing was sexually motivated and whilst Katarina wasn’t sexually assaulted the strangulation was

Particularly vicious she was strangled twice both manually and with a ligature that the motivation was strangulation and he gained some sexual satisfaction from that act alone paint a picture of the man that you’re looking for he’s difficult we would certainly say he’s probably someone who’s living alone would perhaps appear odd to people

Someone who has uh difficulty in forming relationships with women is aggressive towards them probably living in CS of property or property which is being provided by the state or receiving benefits for and physically he looked very very much like the actor we had there the actor there is particularly

Good we we’ve got a lot of witnesses we have the video fit and the artist impression a man who’s very short no more than 5’4 possibly 5’3 stocky build a foreign appearance but may not be foreign a tan complexion 45 to 50 years old with a balding head and hair at the

Back and the Sid which is black but going gray very distinctive if all those factors are put together you didn’t know where he was heading for he was in a panic he tried to get a bus one way eventually got a bus South and you don’t know once he got to Hammersmith bus

Station where he went so he could go north south east west of London he absolutely we’re not convinced where he is but we feel he may be a local or within the London area he clearly would have perhaps lived in the area or worked in the area previously or still does and

We’re asking for anybody in those last 3 months what has he been doing which shops has he been visiting dentists Barbers and this this was not a one-off you know that in February and perhaps other occasions too but you know at least in February this same man was

Stalking another girl that’s correct I mean only 400 yard from the murder scene on the 4th of February 12-year-old girl was followed home and that man rang the doorbell to Tred to gain entry and then started scratching at the lock that man returned only 2 Days Later unfortunately

The mother was in and he tried to gain access but went away now the description there is very close to this killer so we know that he was out there then and on the afternoon someone who determined to get to girls let’s take another look at

This face and do you know him maybe work for Social Security in a bus crew you’re his GP or his bar or you just you’ve seen him somewhere maybe he’s a bit odd bit of a loner whatever don’t hesitate he can be eliminated if you get the

Which a gunman went berserk threatening Shoppers with cs gas and an automatic pistol putting four people in hospital reconstruction starts the day before at 2:00 in the afternoon of Friday the 20th of June Glen Webb is a chain of discount stores and the one in Burton Street in Leicester is the

Newest it was a Friday the day before the doors open to the public for the first time the opening team worked long hours to prepare the shop for the opening day everybody’s so busy there’s that much going on but we’re all dead excited cuz we can’t wait to see the final state of

The shop excuse me we’re not open till tomorrow we’re here to fix the fire RS I know practically everybody who walks into the branch and I knew it wasn’t anybody who was supposed to be there that was going somewhere they was there for a purpose yeah so if I could be expecting

That for about 8:00 tomorrow because I was already expecting them men um because they’d rang me earlier on made the appointment um the white man was probably about 5′ 7 to 5’8 tall thin build light brown hair very thin looking face with um a long nose and a scar on

His cheek and probably about 2 in long going upwards towards his ear I better go all right bye with the way that the the gentleman came in and carried on with the visit I I didn’t have any reason to doubt them it was a check that needed to be

Finished off and and done at every store opening and it was another job off the list the men spent 3/4 of an hour checking fire equipment appearing knowledgeable and technically competent they also checked all the Fire Escape Routes f155 k o right what’s your name and address uh Tony

Taylor 2 or 3 hours later in Manchester someone with a local accent and probably with local knowledge bought a Rover 820e for cash okay thanks very much all right cheers Britain’s laws on car sales are very lack no ID checks are required and the buyer’s details turned out to be

False next day Saturday June the 21st and back in Leicester the store had opened for business example within our textile Department today you will find fabric from 49 per met the day started off really busy and I noticed the gentleman again walking at one of the wallpaper aisles which seemed very odd

Wearing the same clothes holding the same red folder in my mind there was no reason for him to be in the store and he certainly wasn’t looking at buying products yeah yeah it’s it’s going very very well yeah big response big response there lots of people out there oh I’m

Glad anyway I’ll call you back all right call you back is there anything I can do for you mate you’re the manager yeah when I look down and saw the gun it was just like everything drained out of me well I’ve never I’ve never seen a real gun before

So everything that was thinking about before that just disappeared and it was just he’s got a gun uh um and and and that was it that was frightening to think that someone’s pointing a gun at you um and it could all be a h right we’re going back into the office

Tell him to get off that phone come on go on get in Steve put the phone down hang on a minute um put the bloody phone down I’ll uh I’ll call you back later sorry I wasn’t going to risk thinking that his threats weren’t real and I

Wasn’t going to be a hero it was basically just make sure no one gets hurt and just do what he wants wallapers from only pH it the tone in his voice wasn’t one to be messed with you just didn’t want to take the chance because when somebody’s got a gun pointed at their

Head you just fear for the other person so much and because I was because I was loading the bag up I just in my mind mind didn’t want to get anything wrong come on fill it because I’d have felt so much guilt if the gun had have gone off

And I couldn’t have lived with that for the rest of my life his Escape Route foiled his only way out was through the store bring the police no get out of the way spraying CS gas indiscriminately in his Panic the gunman harmed at least a dozen people

Out of my way no not in way no four had such serious eye and respiratory problems they needed specialist treatment in hospital by now the Cs canister was almost empty stop I’ll blow your bleeding brains out one man was threatened three times but he still chased after the

Robber we returned to our car which we parked in Midland Street and uh I noticed there was a a black man and I naturally assumed that he’d got some kind of mechanical problem which he was going to attend to he appeared to me to be a middle-aged West Indian very dark

Complexion 5′ 9 in very well made very stocky stop this it’s stop stop the couple in the other car just happened to be retired police officers but by the time they done a three-point turn turn the robbers had a substantial lead and they lost them in St George’s

Way Neil Castle a number of Clues to pick up on one an identity tag yes as the robber was running out of the store an identity tag dropped from his jacket that’s an exact copy of the identity tag that fell from his jacket and what we

Want to know is if anybody knows where that was made or printed that it says ansty centry here what’s the relevance about that yes there is an ansy inless this year but that’s SP with an ey an Anan centry is in fact spelt with just

The Y that could indicate a bit of local knowledge around the centry area but the other details on his rule false the other details have Prov to be false yes now remind us what the man the robber looked like the white robber is described as

Being 25 to 30 years old 5’9 to 5′ 10 in tall he’s of slim build and with short brown hair the most distinctive thing about this man is that he’s got a scar that runs from the corner of his mouth up towards Wards his ear it’s been

Described as being an old scar and possibly being on the right hand side of his face and he had a a particular accent yes the way he spoke would suggest that he’s from the Manchester area was pretty distinctive then isn’t it I mean a man with a scar like that

And a mancunian accent if you know him he’s got to be the man I would have thought yes the two things coupled together should ring alarm Bells with somebody and I’d urge that person to ring in tonight us a name about yes what about the accomplice from the getaway

Vehicle what do we know about him the driver the getaway car is described as being a middle-aged West Indian male again about 5’9 in tall of stocky build these two together looked a Very Odd Couple the age difference being the main factor now the car that they bought

The day previously uh was found meeting an untimely death about 12 hours after the robbery wasn’t it yes the car was blown up about a mile and a half away in Grace Road leester what we want to know is where was the car between 400 p.m. on the

Saturday afternoon and 3:00 a.m. on the Sunday morning when it was ignited in Grace Road and also you want to know where it was after it was bought and before the robbery yes the car was purchased in Manchester on the Friday afternoon and wasn’t seen again until

3:45 p.m. when it was used as a gway car in the robbery Neil Castle thank you very much do call if you can help either as a witness or if you’ve heard something that could lead to the culprits there is a reward on offer and just think you are dealing with a man

Whose identity is already known but the problem is where is he just over a year ago in Kent a man rented premises near Seven Oaks and set up what he called The Vi Village garage it was a car showroom but think twice before you put your car

Up for sale in the way it was done in pembury this is the proprietor Irvin shenin who’s sometimes called a Bert Reynolds lookalike but Bert Reynolds won’t like the association Mr shankin took cars on a no sale no fee basis you gave him your precious car and if he

Sold it he took a commission 16 people handed over their cars and all of them were sold the problem was Mr shenin then disappeared Irving shenin uses lots of different names and can speak with a convincing American accent but he can’t change his height he’s small 5’2 in his

Place about 6 weeks ago very early in the morning in fact the time of the offense between 4 and 5:00 on a sunlet Friday morning should by itself hugely narrow down the field of suspects who do you know who was likely to be out wandering the streets at that time we’ve

Disguised the victim’s identity and we’ll call her Karen Karen What’s happen happen I’ve been mocked I’ve been raped just down the road come here the night before i’ been out to a corporate fundraising event in SoHo thank you let in order to raise money for the charity involved each competitor paid fee of

£15 which went to the charity and then all the drinks were were free on the evening okay grab a drink how on you two we’ve got to catch up with the others wait wait wait thank it was a really good night out everyone was just having a really good

Time here we go you can stay at me we’ll get yeah just pull up around the corner here you are thank you very much thanks thanks very much bye bye when I’d woken up I could see it was light outside and the Sun was shining I still felt uh a bit tired and

A bit groggy but also I was Keen to get home to be able to get changed and and showered and ready for work the next day about a mile away not far from Karen’s home we were driving up the ASU Road I noticed a man passed us outside the sun

Pub he wasn’t doing anything in particular he was smoking a cigarette it looks though he may have been waiting for someone I was living at shepher Bush at the time so I walked to the end of Bracken Road and then continued along gold Hort road before we finish I think we pay

Rich for parked up in gayford Road facing the YY Road when I saw the man again he still seemed to be waiting for someone and was just hanging around I hadn’t been walking along asq Road for very long when a car came up from behind me it was a silver Mercedes

A fairly new model are you tired what are you tired of course I’m tired it’s 4:00 in the morning where are you going up there do you need a lift no I’m not going far I had been expecting him to ask for directions so it was a bit of a strange

Conversation but I just dismissed it a few minutes later the same officers passed Karen in ascu road I was just sort of ticking off landmarks as I went along the way I went past a baker shop and the thought of fresh bread seemed like a really nice idea at that

Time shortly after I turned into St Elmo Road I took a glance back and noticed that there was someone else also walking along the street then I realized that the person was now quite close behind me so I slowed down down a couple of steps just to allow them to go

Past at that moment I was grabbed from behind I couldn’t breathe I was struggling for air he bundled me behind the wall and threw me to the ground he punched me in the face and head several times after that he raped me I was terrified

I thought he was going to kill me or certainly injure me very badly was also disgusted by what was happening after a short while I realized that I couldn’t hear him anymore my whole life was turned upside down by what happened each day I’ve had to take on a new

Challenge as time goes on I’m determined to keep pushing forward and just to get back to being how I used to be the way that people know me Atlas she’s been badly traumatized by this as far as the offender was concerned was this just the one off or

Do you think this is part of a systematic pattern well it appears that he may well have been hanging around in the area beforehand maybe looking for a victim his attack was systematic and cold blooded I feel he may have done it before and I fear he’ll do it again his

Description he was a Mediterranean or Southern European looking chap late 20s perhaps early 30s about 5’9 510 muscular but not bulky build um he had short dark coarse hair and he had an accent perhaps a Greek or a Turkish accent but a southern European accent some thought he

Might have had sort of hooded eyes is that right that’s the way the victim has described him yes now is this or how confident are you that this is the same man seen by the police patrol well I can’t be 100% confident but he’s the same sort of appearance in the right

Place at the right time so I think there’s likely to be a connection if there’s not he’s going be a valuable witness Friday the 25th of July ASU Road area about 4: 5:00 in the morning people in the Mercedes again you’ve got to eliminate them and they might be

Witnesses even though they aren’t aware they saw anything important well quite possibly and maybe they know this man again they were of Mediterranean appearance perhaps they know him I don’t know now around 5:00 when the rape actually took place the area was beginning to come to life and I know the

Victim heard a cyclist go past maybe other people were just around at that time saw something heard something yes and we haven’t identified the cyclist yet I’d like like to speak to him it may be that he saw someone if the man had an associate he might have seen the

Associate I’d like to speak to him now he might have seen the end of the Reconstruction we showed that he was stealing something he stole cigarettes and a lighter but this is very distinctive so distinctive that I know Mr Lewis you’ve had to make this up especially tell us about this tiny purse

Yes it is a very small purse it as you can see it’s got hemp embroidered on the front in fact it’s made of hemp which is a material very similar to Hessian uh it’s a dark pink color it’s very small I want to know if anyone’s coming

Possession of a purse like this since the 25th of July if they have done I want to know the source it could be significant okay the number is 0500 600 600 free call 0500 600 600 if you saw anything have heard anything have any suspicions Mr Lewis his colleagues and

BBC researchers here are waiting now to hear from you and there are other officers on the case standing by on 0181 5631 1212 that’s 0181 5631 1212 well as always the phones have been busy just to update you on the calls so far we’ve had about 50 calls on the

Murder of Katarina canava 11 names have been given and there’s also apparently a caller saying that uh that their daughter may have been followed by him as well Thomas Marshall well not quantity but quality that matters 15 calls there including one possible sighting uh sorry credit card fraud one

Serious offenses 162 of them are for murder an incident if you add 340 arrests which happened independently of viewers information it means an outcome better than one arrest for every two cases we feature so don’t have nightmares do sleep well good night good Night Welcome back to some really dramatic calls one in just the last few minutes of special interest on the Thomas Marshal murder just under 150 calls on the killing of the school girl Katarina canaver including a bus driver and a prison officer who may be able to identify the murder and we’ve heard of

Another school girl who it seems was stalked by the same man in the same area last week on the west London rapes at least a dozen new leads and on the Glen web robbery in Lester a police officer is convinced he knows the identity of the gunman well first the encouraging

Response on the murder of Thomas Marshall this is a case that’s had huge publicity already but as so often crime watch viewers have had more to add Thomas you’ll recall was the 12-year-old from hazra in Norfolk who cycled off apparently to see a friend well his body

Was discovered 50 mil away dumped in AI on the a11 detective superintendent Les parrot have you been encouraged by the number of calls you’ve had this has been very encouraging we’ve had a number of potential sightings of boys fitting Thomas’s description we’ve had a number of calls concerning a

La the lby and people frequenting that I’m disappointed to say though that we have not had the response from the gay community that I would have expected uh I’m clearly interested in anyone who could visit that lay for whatever reason remind us where the lay was again yes

It’s just off the main A1 which is the maor Trump route into and out of Norfolk and it’s a couple of Miles nor side of fford now this is where the body was found some 50 mil from his home the sightings that you say were made of of

Thomas roughly what time of the day various times of the day clearly we’re interested in the Thursday and Friday and we’re obviously trying to confirm those sightings I would just emphasize that that vehicles are clearly of great significance to this inquiry if anyone saw anyone on the Thursday and Friday in

A vehicle particularly if they had a child with them fit and Thomas’s description we need to hear from those people clearly if anyone has sold a vehicle recently um or has decided to clean a vehicle obsessively or get it valed that also could be a great significance so please ring in thank you

Report just of that incident that she feels she was well she knows she was followed in the brook green area in the last very close to to where this incident happened where Katrina was very close within half a mile of the instant uh the description of that man would

Appear to be very similar and obviously we’re looking at that now so that’s that’s interesting to know we we do need other instance where we feel this man has followed I’ve seen all sorts of people police officers president officers saying they think they know who

Who the man is who there been a lot of named individuals here some people are ringing out saying he used to live with them or share a flat with them someone else has rung up giving a name and address of somebody so a lot of positive

Important thing is have any names been given yes we’ve had several names put forward very interesting call we’ve received from an off-duty police officer in Manchester who’s actually named somebody that he’s dealt with in the past and that call is very encouraging indeed this is naming what the scar face

Same there’s been some supporting information which does tally with some of the identities given and some of the information is really of the highest quality I’m very pleased now the people you wanted to eliminate one was a man who was seen by the police patrol who

Could of course be be the rapist in the area the other were people in a in a silver Mercedes yes that’s right have they come forward I’ve got some information as to who they might be and again the information is is good quality information so I’m hoping to identify
