Appeal to identify man in connection with rape investigation
Detectives have released an e-fit and are appealing for help from the public as part of a rape investigation in Feltham
''Detectives have released an e-fit and are appealing for help from the public as part of a rape investigation.
In the early hours of Saturday, 5 October 2019, the victim, a woman in her 30s, was walking home from a friend’s house near Saxon Avenue in Feltham.
She was suddenly hit on the back of her head and knocked unconscious.
The victim awoke to find herself being raped by a man; he then ran off in an unknown direction.
The woman sustained a black eye, bruises and cuts to her legs during the attack.
The suspect is described as a white man, aged about 40 years old. He had a two-inch scar under his right eye. He also has a distinctive tattoo on his right hand.
Detective Constable Stephanie Aldridge, who is leading the investigation, said: “We’ve been investigating this incident for a long time and we will use every tactic at our disposal to catch this predator.''
“At this time, we have not yet identified this man and he has not featured on any police system so far despite distributing the e-fit nationally. This now means the time is right to release this e-fit to the public.''
