Man sentenced to life for the brutal murder of Zara Aleena

Jailed for life at the Old Bailey today, the man who killed law graduate Zara Aleena will spend at least 38 years behind bars. The family of the 35-year old Londoner, who was murdered in a brutal and random attack as she walked home in June, said today the sentence brought them some retribution but no peace.

Her killer was a career criminal who had been released from prison on license just nine days earlier.
Ria Chaterjee was at court and her report includes distressing footage of him following other women before Zara.

If the community was responsible they would be able to stop him and report this. I remember more than 10 years ago. I saw a neighbor of mine being attacked by a violent boyfriend, as she cried for help from the balcony, I ran to the front yard and called a local bloke to interfere, he managed to stop him attacking her at the right time, yet I remember that bloke's wife shouting at him telling to mind his business and not to play the hero. This is the kind of mentality that can bring societies down and create unsafe environment for everyone, if these women who the killer attacked them first reported the incident to the police, Zara would've been saved that night and he would've been in custody.

[@Nightopian1982]

The problem with a lot of these offences are that you may find a lot of them are for petty crime like vandalism, shop thefts, criminal damage etc. I'm absolutely not excusing them, but if they were to throw everyone who committed petty crimes in prison for months/years, there'd need to be another hundred or more prisons built in the country to house them all. The biggest issue in the UK is that the probation service and police are underfunded, overworked (particularly with admin/paperwork, according to a friend of mine who used to be a police officer) and understaffed. This means too many dangerous or potentially dangerous criminals slip through the net due to bureaucratic red tape, and having too many agencies involved in cases. There's no doubt in my mind either that the prison service is under constant pressure to keep prison numbers down. Coupled with a broken social system in the UK, the results we see only too often.

It’s hard for random normal civilians to act when something looks dodgy but nothing is being done, he may have been a drunk boyfriend following his partner home! I live only a 100 yards from where Zara was murdered on Cranbrook Road and I was awake, you have no idea how angry and frustrated I was and am, that I was awake and it happened so near to me!

[@Nightopian1982]

That's a bit harsh. I've seen drunk couples walking home over the years, the guy falling a bit further behind on occasion. It'd be wonderful if everyone had the hindsight to know when something is going to happen, but unfortunately we have absolutely no idea unless it's something incredibly obvious, like they're being attacked, chased, or being shouted at. I'll wager they're extremely upset about not doing something. I know I would be. I like to think all decent people would always wish they could have been around when awful crimes happen, but the sad truth is that it's just terrible, unforeseen circumstances. I don't imagine the family blame them for anything either. What's to blame (aside from McSweeney) are the broken social and criminal justice systems in the UK that allow things like McSweeney to roam the streets at large.

[@lw3646]

Its not actually illegal to walk behind someone so they would be pretty limited in what they could have done. Very often we see something that looks suspicious but we don't act because we don't know what's actually happening.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

[@Nightopian1982]

I think part of the problem is that policing in this country, like so many other things, is hugely underfunded, overworked and understaffed. Police spend an inordinate amount of time on paperwork, instead of walking the beat or on patrol. It's easy to blame the officers, social workers and probation officers/offender managers. When the politicians in this country care more about crime stats in an attempt to keep themselves in power, the grip on criminality in our communities slackens and they fail to deal effectively with the worst criminals. It makes me sick.

@Jimmy Riddles true but if crazy/evil men aren't lonely then they will be less likely to resort to this sort of mad crime

[@iminmypjs3428]

@@MostlyLoveOfMusic wow, there are plenty of lonely and sad people out there who don't resort to r@pe and murder!! Place the blame where it really lies- with the culprit and stop making excuses for these monstets! It's such an entitled mindset, no one is owed companionship, this is something you earn as a decent human being, you go out there and create these relationships yourself they don't drop out of the sky. This is exactly an incel mentality and it's WRONG!

[@horatiutatar2069]

@@MostlyLoveOfMusic yeah, i think we need to look also at what happened to these people to lose it completely. Every case is different and we can learn something from each. There is also a lot of injustice, lack of compassion, wrong values promoted in public. And mental health assistance should be made more available, better funded. etc Also think, it's almost never woman attacking man, is there also still a generalized misogynism all around ?

May her soul RIP I know it’s really easy for us to say !!! But very difficult for the family to fill the empty space left by her departure!!😢 My heart cries out for Zara

Why was this not in any news or highlighted on KZbin on the day of crime???

[@gailhickman743]

It's just been on the TV news that this monster had 28 previous convictions and had already been in prison several times.The probation services didn't even know where he was living, nor was he tagged. Those that agreed to let this 'thing' back onto the streets are also to blame.

[@DarlingSofie]

This is what happens when justice isn't properly served. We are rubbing shoulders with far too many disgusting criminals. Toughen the law! Bring back the DP! An EYE for an EYE! This country is so soft!

[@leebosworth5828]

Always happens. 69 offences it’s clear this man should not be on the streets. Justice system is an absolute joke and a mess!

[@worz678]

I'm.so.sorry for the parents . My goodness

[@khurmiful]

Shocking

[@lucindahart6148]

Bring back the death penalty. It’s high time the legal system stop protecting the human rights of these vile creatures. Why not protect the human rights of law abiding citizens instead of these monsters.

[@nushratjabeen3577]

No woman should have to go through this. Rest in peace.

[@philipburgin3109]

Sicko! Bring back the death penalties for these people 🤬

[@keshabkuikel6636]

The system failed Zara and the family. My condolences. The more daunting thing is how many offenders are roaming the streets without anyone's knowledge.

[@CST247]

Such a strong case against the current ideology of “rehabilitating” these offenders. Especially for serious crimes as his were before this. To squeamish as a society to lock up individuals like this for good and keep them there. They cost more in socialised welfare, police time and likely medical health services than the cost of keeping them incarcerated.

[@CosmosNut]

Sure 38 years... after castration and breaking knees and ankles of both legs so he can never stalk again... ever...

[@senorgato70]

May Zara rest in heaven and her family heal from this atrocious act. This man deserves to rot in prison.

[@albaricca9576]

69 previous offences. What sort of justice do we have? Afghan? Taliban?

[@sutty8526]

Soft ridiculous law!

[@mdrizzy4965]

The Taliban deliver the most brutal punishments besides Cartels what are u talking about

[@PSG81]

If this was Afghan there would be no Trial. He would have been stoned to death by the public

[@user-yg4pu7to9f]

And they clown Muslims countries that don't let there women go out without male supervision, and call it misogyny or controlling. May God grant peace to the family

[@pabloandersonbye1069]

So does the probation and judge who let him Out stand trail ? Never names are they .. the ones who set them free . And where was his psychology assessment? That would have obviously pre warned of this . . Not mentioned never done? .. ??

[@adamjones5004]

Britain needs to bring back the death penalty, life for life. This Country is easy for criminals to get small time in prison and back again but people have to live lifetimes of grief and sorrow and the life that’s taken away

[@sianjones3721]

How could a man do this. I hope he suffers the same .rest in peace Zara. She dident have chance because he is a monster

[@rachelhamill1608]

Absolutely horrendous what a vile excuse for a man, what a beautiful woman taken by such evil, may zaras family find some comfort and peace.

[@abidmahmood8961]

A career criminal who should never have been out as he was recalled for breach of licence. The criminal justice system is broken. The government has no interest in fixing it. They are complicit in this murder.
