She and Andre are, like, Love Island material.

And a year after they met, they had their son, Alex.

Rachel even did a bit of modelling before pursuing an English and history degree.

But once little Alex came along, she threw herself into motherhood.

She held on to aspirations of being a children's TV presenter.

And she kind of does look like a children's TV presenter.

And I think with her, Andre, and little Alex, who was probably the fucking cutest baby you could imagine.

So they were the perfect young family.

On the 15th of July 1992, Rachel took Alex and their dog for a walk on Wimbledon Common, like she did all the time.

But this time, she would never come home.

Less than 200 yards from a well-frequented green area, Rachel was grabbed and ferociously attacked by a white man, about 5'10", with dark hair.

He wrestled Rachel to the ground, and in an attempt to silence the young mother's screams, he cut her throat so violently, he almost decapitated her.

Let me just remind you that this is before 10 o'clock in the morning.

The frenzied attack continued and Rachel sustained 48 stab wounds to her body.

All of this happened in front of her two-year-old son.

Alex, just a couple of weeks shy of his third birthday, picked up the keys and money that had fallen out of his mother's pockets and put them back in.

Then he took a piece of paper he had found and dabbed his mother's forehead, trying to make her better.

And it's going to get worse because Alex sat there repeatedly saying, wake up, mummy.

In his adult life, Alex would claim that after he said this for a third time, he realised that his mum wasn't coming back.

The horrified Andre was informed and a murder squad was assembled swiftly.
