A guttural scream could be heard from a neighbouring compartment on a London train to Victoria. It had just pulled away from Brixton, and as the train sped along the tracks, an 18-year-old french au pair remained glued to her seat in terror. She was not sure what to do. She could tell that the noises were screams of fear from a female in the next compartment, but she was too frightened to raise the alarm. By the time the train pulled into Victoria, it was too late. Someone dashed through the carriage door and out of the station before anyone realised what had occurred. Over three decades later, it is still unclear what exactly happened on the 2:16 train…
