Eleanor Neale

that day, he goes to a rental car place in Dover and hires a white Vauxhall Astra, which he drove all the way up to London.

Around 8 p.m., he's already in London.

He parks up in a Tesco car park in Kensington, and he goes into the shop and buys just one thing, a pack of 14 elastic hair ties.

Now, the possible use that Wayne had for these hairbands has been debated.

Clearly, it was a very significant purchase, to the point where he paused his journey to go to a shop solely to buy hairbands.

Some people think they could have been used to restrain Sarah, but it's also been argued that they could have had a sexual purpose as well.

Hairbands are sometimes known to be used as an alternative to a cock ring.

which is a tight band worn at the base of the penis to trap blood inside in order to stay erect for longer and delay ejaculation.

And he had purchased these ahead of going out in his pre-hired car to find an unsuspecting woman to kidnap, rape and murder.

It's sickening to think that he might have made this purchase in order to prolong

that sexual attack on his victim.

Alongside the hair bands, Wayne had already been putting together what has been referred to as his kill kit, which included plastic sheeting and carpet protector film.

So he's clearly not just planning to kidnap and rape a woman and then let her go, is he?

Those purchases he made in advance show his intentions loud and clear.

He wanted to murder a woman.

He knew that there might be a mess.

He wanted to cover his tracks.

It's genuinely spine chilling to think how much he prepared, how much he thought about each element.

As a police officer as well, he probably knew ways in which he could be caught out and adapted his methods accordingly.

It gets to a point where it's like, are we sure that the murder of Sarah Everard was the very first time that this man had ever killed anyone?
