One of the worst cases includes Moira Jones, 40, who was abducted yards from her home and forced into the park where she was raped and murdered.
Her body was discovered by a park ranger behind a privet hedge in the middle of Queen’s Park in May 2008.
The sales executive’s killer, Marek Harcar, was later jailed for life.
