Police link daylight rapes
The suspect spoke with a foreign accent
Detectives have released an e-fit of a man they believe raped a 14-year-old girl nine days after raping a young woman in west London.
The two attacks in July are now being linked as both took place in broad daylight, near a busy road in Feltham and within 150 yards of each other. The first attack took place at 15:30 BST on 20 July when a 19-year-old woman was walking across Hanworth Air Park. The victim was grabbed as she walked down a path and forced into a grassy area by Feltham Rugby Club car park, where she was raped. The younger victim was sitting on a nearby bench in a children's play area at 11:20 BST on 29 July when her attacker sat down next to her and asked her the time. When she walked off after becoming nervous she was tripped up, pushed to the floor and raped in the middle of the park. Detective chief inspector Vic Mencner from Hounslow CID said: "These were horrific attacks leaving the two girls very traumatised."
