Summary
This is Part One of Two of The Fearmonger.
On Monday 4th of November 1985, a three-week spree of rape and murder culminated, as at 9:50pm, a silvery-blue Montego sped north up Park Lane towards Marble Arch, zigzagging like a crazed loon across both lanes at a suicidal 80mph. Inside, two terrified women screamed, as John Steed, the M4 Rapist shot one of his hostages dead. But why did it end this way?
- Date of his spree: Sunday 13th October 1985 to Wednesday 6th of November 1985
- Locations: Epsom, Croydon, Banstead, and Park Lane, W1
- Victim: 5 ('Miss A', 'Miss B', 'Mrs C', Jaqueline Murray & Judy Burnham)
- Culprit: 1 (John Alan Steed, formerly Gilbert)
- Method: terror, kidnapping, rape, torture and shooting
