Poor woman - what terrible final minutes. I hope the CCTV is sufficient to get the bastard who killed her locked away for a very long time.

The bastards that murdered this woman should be brought to trial and given the maximum sentence.

If there is no CCTV, and if the murderer does not hand themselves in, I doubt this crime will ever be solved.
