Hey folks! What do you think about this case? - Should the system be more robust? And how can it better identify killers and offenders?

@@liveyourdreammedia Agree to disagree cause Social media has its pros too. People are and were shitty and social media just made that more clear. Even without social media lack of accountability will always be a big issue with a lot of other cons we can put on social media. Without the internet, it would just be hidden like it use to be or still is technically.
Repeat offenders especially violent ones need to be locked up for significant time. 29 convictions and over 60 something offenses. Couldn't be more obvious. Should have been locked up for a long time, years ago. Whoever gave him paroles needs to be charged with something as well. Also highlights how destructive some people can be on alcohol. This crime was totally preventable.
We have the same judicial system in Australia Adrian they get let out of jail on probation only to murder a young woman shortly after they're released...the police do the hard yards in catching them and then the lawyer's and the court's let those animal's out again...just a tragedy that she lost her life and I feel so sad for her family and friend's RIP Zara 💜😪
I was once attacked by a man on a busy street, in a nice area, in broad daylight. He was a stranger to me but was trying to say I was his ex-wife. I tried to stop one of the many cars which were passing, no one stopped they waved me away. The people walking down the street turned away and crossed the road. No one came out of their house. The gentleman in a stationary car nearby did nothing, not even call the police. In the end I managed to get free and outrun him. Don’t assume people will come to your assistance. Don’t assume just because it’s Saturday at 2pm with lots of people around you are safe: YOU ARE ALONE EVEN WHEN SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE!
I was once stalked by a man on a busy street in broad daylight. Same as you, no one did anything. The only reason why it didn't escalate was because I hid inside a store for at least 30 minutes while the stalker waited for me outside....
These days, it's hard to know if you are walking into a setup or if you'll unwittingly become victim #2. The most i can offer is to stay a safe distance and call the police for you.
One time when I was out for a walk a random woman suddenly linked arms with me and started talking like she knew me. I was confused at first but she kept glancing behind her and I realized she was trying to get away from someone. So we kept walking for a few blocks, she called a friend who was in a bar nearby, and when we got close she said thanks and went to meet her friend. It doesn't take much to help someone but if you're being followed don't assume anyone else will automatically jump in to help you. That woman basically forced me to help but she was smart in doing that instead of just waving her arms screaming for help. I would happily do that again if it means keeping a person safe.
Thank you for covering this case. Zara was one of my childhood friend's best friend. They were like sisters, so heartbreaking for Zara's family and friends. Zara was such a sweet, kind and gentle soul. A life cut far too soon, by a monster, that shouldn't have been allowed to be walking our streets. Rest in peace angel.
@@marniemarn4574 Bless you, thank you. Its something that changes your life forever. She definitely has struggled since the loss. I always pray that with time will come some form of healing. Its a hard one, and something you never expect to experience. I truly feel for all of Zara's loved ones, I pray for all of them.
The fact that I live literally a 10 minute walk down Ilford & never heard about this case is gut wrenching. I hope the family are getting the the help & support they need & that Zara is resting in peace
Guys like him are the reason why our mothers and girlfriends can't walk outside alone when it's dark and also the reason why girls are afraid of us young men / boys without us doing anything. I had it several times when I walked home from the supermarket (I'm often shopping there at 21.30 or even later) that girls who walked in front of me alone, were always looking at me (I'm walking faster than most women of course) and because I was afraid of making them afraid, I crossed the street or pretended that I'm on the phone (sometimes I was really calling a friend) and then talking about videogames or other nerdy stuff that hopefully makes her feel comfortable. Scary times we're living in. :(
Pretty grim that you should be experiencing that level of distrust. Problem is bad people (and they can be women as well men) don't have 'dangerous monster' tatooed across their foreheads. They look like me and you, so women in particular are cautious. I like wandering in the dark around 21.30 too. It's a nice time of day. I'm a sixty six year old retired teacher and school leader (female). My mum gives me grief. She says I'll be found dead, floating in the canal one day. Watch this space. In the meantime, you have every right to wander harmlessly in the dark and shop at 21.30.
Your a good man. I’m sorry we as women have to be on such guard, but thank you for doing what you can and being knowledgeable. And most importantly thank you for not blaming us.
@@MarieORourke-e3v im glad i read your comment as i havent found one yet that has my thoughts exactly, nor you probably wont read my comment either im 54 and since i know myself ive ALWAYS loved to walk at night the later the better, ok, im worse than you but i ADORE the night, and i must say im very lucky nothing never happened to me, though i didnt grew up in the UK still where im from there are creepy men the same as here they are everywhere BUT it never stopped me, i went as far as dressing and walking like a men in my younger years so that I could take nice walks at night. its so sad so so so SO sad women cant enjoy life because of these monsters take care friend

The system of justice, may have failed this woman and her family .........but it what's in God's eye of justice 🤔. Come the man's day of judgement, he will surly reap and sow the consequences of his own evil actions of...........DESTRUCTION and DOOM!!!........ into the oblivion of Hell. God, the.......Judge, Jury and Executioner!!!!
People DO NOT change. Sex offenders should never be let out. 🤷♀️ Back in 2016, my ex-husband’s childhood friend tried to sexually assault me. He didn’t succeed. I told everyone about it. Reported it to the police. Some said: oh it’s women’s fault sometimes. I did nothing. We were on our way to my ex-husband’s mom’s wake. His friend had to pick me up from the airport because my ex-husband was still at the funeral parlor. I was an easy target for him, 5’2” Asian woman. He didn’t know I trained Muay Thai for four years and 3 years for boxing at that time. 2019, he sexually assaulted a 12 year old. Daughter of one of his childhood friend as well. And on that one, he was successful. I’m sorry, but people do not change. Sex offenders should just rot in jail. He was jailed, I was told. But released during the height of the pandemic. This isn’t right.
"Zara believed women should feel safe to walk streets alone late at night." Security cameras do not make streets safe. In the UK physical abuse is not punished seriously enough while carrying defensive weapons is treated with a presumption of misuse. It's an absurd situation.
Yes, you are %100 accurate. Carrying a defensive weapon is treated with a presumption of misuse in the UK, Canada etc along with some of our Liberal/Socialist States. Thankfully, in Florida we have Stand your Ground and we can carry weapons including a gun, pepper spray etc.
These cases always give me the chills, thank you for bringing their names into light and giving them the importance they deserve. May their souls and their families find peace 🤍
Her aunt broke my heart. Not only because she herself is heart broken but because of the truth in her words. We lose so many giving, powerful and good people, so often - to these societal derelicts. It has to stop. RIP Zara and wishes for peace to your family x
@@GNMi79 well u don't know all the lawyers in the world right.... Anyways..ur point of physical power is not what that person mentioned..that is all I'm saying
I remember myself and a friend getting followed by a nosy neighbour and it was terrifying during that short walk home. He was so obvious about it too then had the nerve to complain to my parents when he said I was horrible and violent for showing him an aerosol can and a lighter if he came closer. The kicker? My parents told me "That's not polite of ladies" I'm glad my friend's mum was understanding at least.
As a father of three, something like this is my absolute nightmare. I wish we could be safe. I wish there wasn't any one planning evil for others. But that isn't reality.
Another person loosing her life thanks to the justice system that don't keep criminals in jail,also being a outstanding productive good family and friends person is not going to keep you safe ,specially going for drinks and walking back home by yourself late or early morning hours come on,how many more times this will have to happens for people to stop placing themselves in fatal danger.
@Jose Carcamo If that last bit isn't victim shaming then i don't know what is. So what's the difference to me walking home from a night out at 4 am or me walking to to work at 4 am?
@Caz C I'm not sure if it's victim blaming. When I taught my kids to drive, I taught them to think defensively. It doesn't matter if you're in the right when your car gets smashed. The person who does evil is solely responsible for that evil. But if you can, don't be there.
My biggest fear. My daughter is nearly 13, and I think I've done well enough to drum certain things into her about safety etc, but you cannot plan for evil c*nts like this. But honestly, I think if anybody ever hurt my daughter, they wouldn't see another sunrise. This pieces of filth deserve NOTHING, especially seeing as the police and justice system are next to useless these days. Look out for each other.
I think at one point or another in our lives, regardless of if it turned out to be real or not, we’ve all had a moment where we felt like someone is following us. It’s a very tense and uncomfortable feeling, like waiting for a jumpscare in a horror movie. I really feel for all the women in this story.
As why maybe a pro abortionists or lesbian or atheist etc what happened to are was bad but why we always say good to only dead people may Christ Jesus help humans evil heart

Thank you Adrian for all your hard work bringing us this case! You deserve a coffee and of course Nero deserves a treat too. (Im really a dog person but don’t tell Nero 🤣) ❤️ Have a wonderful and safe weekend everyone! 💖
I love how you highlight the victims, and focus attention on their humanity. Some channels objectify victims, whether they realize it or not. It's so frustrating to see CCTV cameras everywhere, but they do nothing to prevent crime.
Nevermind the fact that a woman can't carry any protection in England. If a sober woman can't fight off a drunk man, maybe they should rethink tha instead of praising victims or becoming a victim.
I could argue that the cameras caught the murderer and lead to his conviction, thus preventing him from committing crimes for 38 years. Also, we have no idea how many assailants are deterred by the cameras.
Taken the huge progress robotics has already reached, why can’t we have a computer analyze video in real time and alert police if anything is wrong? It's pretty easy at this stage to teach AI to differentiate between, say, a fight or a hug, screaming HELP vs other words, etc. Why isn't this done yet....
His suffering abuse as a child is no excuse for what he did to his victims . A beautiful young woman with a promising life and career died at the hands of a total loser .
It’s not an excuse, but the correlation between violent individuals and those who were abused and never supported is too high to dismiss the claim that there isn’t some causation mixed in there.
@@melissaclifford8398 Still has nothing to do with anything, the act was still done. "This is why I stabbed your parents who I don't know to death" Wow fantastic, 1. you should either be killed or life in prison. No different if someone just did it because they are psychotic or had a bad day and was triggered.
Bleeding hearts will use it as an excuse though. You could stab someone you don't know multiple times in the neck and they'll go you are a victim of the systems etc. Western world doesn't even properly punish the ACT of the crime these days.
This happened in a neighborhood, in front of someone's house and yet not one person peaked out of their house to check what's happening! Zara must have screamed her lungs out atleast a couple of times... had 1 or 2 people from the houses come out and yelled at him, I feel he would have run away. She could have been saved. And the other two ladies were so lucky!

When this occurred, it’s shook me. Hearing it almost a year later I’m still shaken. It’s just so horrific there are no words. RIP Zara you deserved better and I’m sorry we couldn’t save your beautiful soul. We should be allowed to stay safe walking home or going about our daily lives.

From an older gal to the younger ones, don't travel anywhere by yourself at night. Take a cab. Be on your phone with someone the whole while, and make it obvious your on the phone. If you think you're being followed, go to a public place, and tell people. Then get that cab. If you've been drinking, just get the ride home. You're impaired, even a little bit. Just better to be safe. Please, be careful out there.
I just mentioned taxi, and not ride shares. I don't trust ride shares if I'm on my own. Taxi drivers have to have some paper trail at least if something were to happen, and I believe at least in some states, they need a special license. It's why I also talked about being on your phone. Talking to someone while walking or riding will help you seem like less of an easy target, because someone will immediately know something is up and likely to call the police. It's sadly not fool proof, but it's better than not having any advice to give.
Same advice I always give to my daughters! And if they can’t find a cab, stay where there are and I’ll come and pick them up, no matter where and what time it is. I won’t even be mad that they were out late. I just want them home safe.
It’s awful that women have to take all these extra precautions just to stay safe from predators after a night out. I’ve never had to face that fear as a man and I want to know what us men can do to prevent these things from happening.
It’s horrifying thinking about the women who wasn’t attacked, what they must be thinking and feeling knowing they could’ve been killed by him that night.
They could have saved her life if they'd reported him. He wasn't exactly discreet. Police could have put an alert out, drunken man, topless, harassing women, easily picked up. Bust him, find out he's wanted for breach of probation, then he would've gone back inside.

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504bruh. They were fearing for their lives, being chased around by this many. While reporting may seem nice, they were scared and went home. There are CCTV cameras for police-what about that too? You know, even if it wasn't your intention, this sounds like victim blaming.
Thank you for covering this. I have an ex that was similar to Jordan. I was lucky but I remember when this happened to Zara and I lived in the city. It made my heart ache and I attended a candlelit vigil, so much old came back but I saw changes in how people engage in violent situations where women are the victims.
I watch a ton of true crime and nothing affects me much anymore. But this one really got to me. I've been hard crying for 20 minutes, thanks for the great video, it reminded me to remember the victims more than the killers.
Adrian, I love your journalistic style and the way you portray the stories you choose to stream! You are truly talented and of course your voice is superb for this type of work. I found your site a few months ago and do not miss one of your posts . Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication and know your gentle manner In the deliverance of your audios portrays the empathy you surely have for all of these victims.❤

And they released him early then were shocked when he didn't show up for his meetings. Those people should be held responsible as well. Their judgment is terrible.
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt Honour killings, child marriages, domestic abuse, polygamy, terrorism.....the list goes on..no religion is perfect... Same is the case with Islam. At least have some compassion for the victim instead of spamming your victim-blaming and glorifying-islam comments everywhere. Cringey dude. Yikes.
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt Sorry, but fuck that. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of kids experience abuse, sexual and physical, every year. MOST of them don’t come out like this waste of space. His parents failed him, but he allowed himself to become a monster. He made those choices, he became a serial criminal. Feel sorry for the child, but do not excuse the adult’s behavior. He could have made something of himself, he didn’t, he let his abuse spiral into this disgusting, sad excuse of a human being. How very sad
I live in Canada, and we often get notices about violent offenders being released. The notices even mention that these people are at a high risk of reoffending, and yet, they’re allowed to live freely. These people generally end up getting arrested again within days of their release. I don’t understand how or why this is allowed. Why release someone who is violent and likely to commit crimes? The justice system clearly needs a lot of change.
I think that telling the stories of the victims is an important step. And your channel is helping. Also focusing on follow up with violent offenders, especially spending money effectively on supervision. Finally, adequate mental services for kids who are brought up in abuse.
This is a horrific story. I don’t remember hearing anything about this case. Zara was a beautiful, intelligent and kind woman. My heart breaks for her family and friends. May she rest in peace 🙏
Hi TC. Adrian I hope you see & read my comment. Zara was beautiful & talented also. RIP & may your stalker loser predator rot in jail & hell! Love your channel, peace from Janine Smiley✌👍👋🙏🆒️💯❕❗🙂😀😍😎😇🏡🚗🚘🎵🎶🇺🇸🇬🇧
I genuinely don't think this got enough coverage at the time. I Do remember this, but it was very minimal coverage. Thank you, coffee house crime, for giving this story the respect and coverage it she so rightly deserves.
You know why? Because she was from minority community (Specifically Pakistani with a Muslim background) and her attacker was Anglo-Saxon. If it was reverse, you would have heard it day in day out. The Conservatives would make it into a cautionary tale of how awful immigration is for the "British society" and that POS woman, Suella Braverman would say that this proves how dangerous Muslim Pakistani men are!
The number of lone women attacks by strangers in London the past few years is terrifying. I’m glad I left in 2020. Poor woman, there is nothing that would truly bring her justice
This case truly sickens me, such a horrific way to die at the hands of someone who should never have been allowed out. Watching him roam the streets looking for a victim like a wild rabid animal is terrifying. I'm less than year younger than Zara but she loved a life so much fuller and impactful than mine. I'm so sad her life was stolen from her, her family, friends and community
Even I know what you mean please don’t insult animals. Animals don’t rape women and don’t have malice in their heart. Humans commit these despicable acts..

Please don’t minimize how impactful your life is- you have empathy and you’re obviously a good hearted person. I’m certain you are loved by many people around you xxx
In response to the aunt’s quote and gut wrenching questions of change I have this to say “I am intelligent enough to know when someone is pain, I am empathetic enough to understand that pain, but I am wise enough to know this isn’t a situation of whether change can happen because criminal and people who have nothing to lose are just that. Zara was extremely unfortunate to be caught in a seriously bad situation..” I hope her family finds peace and tranquillity.
Families have to transform, societies need to transform. Things have to change at their root so that we have less people developing into monsters. This guy had clearly given up. For something like this to happen you really need to be completely broken within, and that's what happened to him. He didn't care about the cameras, about leaving fingerprints, he didn't even care whom to hurt - he looked for anyone over whom to exert his power to compensate for his feeling of misery and inadequacy. He didn't even appear at the trial, not because he's a coward, but because he doesn't care. Truly scary.
I agree. I made a comment that I think more than we would like to admit want to be in prison because they can live a more stable life inside than outside.

My sister and her family live in Ilford, Essex. I use to work nights for a homeless shelter project and used to use the overhead line to Barking in Ilford and as I'd walk down to Loxford Lane...THE AMOUNT OF KERB Crawlers(Actively looking for "Night Workers") They'd aggressively try to approach me "For Business" I'd have to assertively state to them...Quite loudly..."I'm armed so don't bother yourself" I grew up in Hackney in East London so by the age of 7/8 years of age I could read a persons eyes...if they're mentally unstable or drunk BUT thankfully I've never needed to get hands on with revellers 🙏🏾 I carry a perfume spray as another form of deterrent too. It's sickening what London has become.
Thank you for the thoughtful coverage of this story. I won't lie. I've never commented before, but this was so infuriating and deeply saddening to watch. It's was terrifying watching him walk around like a predator following those first two women, evade getting caught and then continue to chase women. I feel like this happens a lot. Hearing about all the opportunities this man could've been stopped, from public passersby, her neighbours, no one helped. Plus, the many times this horrible creature slipped through every possible crack in the system that led to Zara's death, this feels like it was preventable. Her aunt was right. There needs to be a conversation with leaders, educators and a deep change in mindset of people. Sexual boundaries needs to be taught alongside sex ed/ biology or something because people need to learn this is not okay.

The only talk and change that needs to be done is for guns to be legal in the UK. Had that woman been legally carrying a weapon, she wouldn't have been a victim.
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt His parents are criminals, the girls walking alone at night are to be blamed....but you have no issue with people who do evils like the psychopath in this case....I wish you were raised right. Instead you ended up a sexist and religious fundamentalist.
Sex ed would do nothing to prevent this, sane people already know it's not okay. What needs to change is there should be more strict prison sentences for people like this with many prior convictions.
Why in the hell is someone with 69 convictions on the streets to begin with? Do we think someone with 69 or even ten or twenty is not going to continue commiting crimes? I hope her family sued everyone!
Well chances are people like her family were the ones supporting more "humane" punishments for young criminals, hence how he could have that many and not have longer prison sentences. This is what happens when prison reform and naive activism blend together, you get criminals getting away with more than they should.
Thank you for making this video. You spoke so well and showed Zara the respect and compassion she deserves. I live in the same area and i was heartbroken when this happened , i do thank people in the local area who got together to show support after her passing .
I have noticed that the people who are really positive and good for the world are the target for some of the most vile criminals on the planet. We as a specie's lost a truly great person with the loss of Zara. (I did not know her personally). Thanks for the case and video Adrian love the channel

The number of "if onlys" in this case is staggering. If only one of those other women he followed had called the police. If only the two men who saw him following the other woman had intervened. If only someone who heard her screams (there MUST have been some) had come to her aid. If only law enforcement had picked him up at the time they were supposed to.

@@CoffeehouseCrime I too was a victim of sexual abuse as a child. I am in no ways a saint, but I would never condone this malicious meathead in any capacity. He got too happy. He's gotten way too many slaps on the wrist. I'm happy to hear you're on holiday. I was always worried you were overdoing it.
It's almlst as if evil people have a clear profile and troubled background, while vulnerable people often have good lifestyles and therefore are less alert
Well done Adrian. You always show such compassion to the victims. In. Watching this actually having my morning coffee I have to be a not so nice person and say, I am so sorry that bus or car missed hitting him. He is truly evil to be so smug about his crime. Here in the United states a criminal has to be in the courtroom. They cant be cowards. I only hope a better system is worked out to keep these offenders behind bars. Healing prayers for her family 💙
I will always love the way Adrian shows so much respect to the victims and doesn't morbidly idolize the perpetrator like other true crime channels. I truly hope Zara's family have found peace. This was such a sad video.
Thank you for calling out the shame everyone who seen her being followed and heard her screams, but did nothing. You are absolutely correct when you make it clear there was opportunity for interference. He shouldn't have been able to have gotten away with so much in such a built up area. She was failed by her community. I am so devastated for her and her family.
And not just them - also the people who had previously seen him stalking women and did nothing. Really, how much of an effort is it to pick up your phone and report to police that there is a drunk guy stalking women? Even those women who escaped him might have made the report, he could have been apprehended and Zara could have lived. THIS is what needs to be talked about, to look out for the safety of others and not just one's own.
Such a shame, I had NO idea about this story and I live in South East London. The news have been bombarding nothing but the government and their awful practices, and I don’t recall hearing any of this. Such a shame. Glad you covered this. 💚
Thank you for bringing this to light, Adrian. It’s nice to bring the victim into the light, so us who aren’t aware can be appreciative of their life/legacy. RIP Zara.

I’ve never cried before watching these videos, not because I wasn’t sad or didn’t feel bad for the victims. I always feel horrible for them but something about Zara really broke my heart and soul. She gave so much and loved so much just to be struck down by a perverted and sick individual. I won’t even call him by his name to give him power. The even saddest part about all this is that Zara wasn’t even his initial target. It could’ve been ANYONE and he didn’t care at all. He deserves to be 6ft under. Not her.

Adrian, thank you so much for bringing awareness to this case. I live and work in East London and I had not heard of this case, at all. We can speculate on why, but the fact remains that you are the first person to bring attention and awareness to a horrific murder of a fellow woman by an absolute menace to society, twenty minutes from my house, to me.

As someone who works in the GBV field in South Africa, these kind of cases are so familiar in my country and it is so devastating to see families dealing with the rape or femicide of a loved one.

So very sad. I never understand why and how the rights of violent offenders are protected time and time again; while the rights of victims and society to be safe, are ignored. 😢 My condolences to friends, family, and the community. RIP Zara.
There is no right to safety anywhere sadly. Not sure why people think that’s a human right….we would love for that to be the case but no one is entitled to anything.
They tell women being threatened by violent men to just get a restraining order which is nothing but a piece of paper. Even after getting it those violent men see no issue with continuing their attacks and in a lot of cases ultimately still does nothing to protect the victim and coddles the attackers

@@AliMohammed-ez6nt No, the criminal here is Jordan. Religion is bullshit and stops no one from abusing people so don't even go there. Jordan was a 29 year old adult who instead of going to therapy and dealing with his trauma, he decided he become a rapist and murderer. Also, maybe MEN shouldn't be allowed to walk alone at night if THEY'RE they ones committing these atrocities. Let women walk alone freely and safely
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt why have you responded to most comments saying the same thing? the real criminal is the man who chose to take an innocent woman’s life. woman walking home alone should not be an issue, psychopaths are going to do what they want despite you ‘forbidding’ it or not
I love how you always give historical information on the area before getting into the case! It's very interesting information and I thoroughly enjoy it! ❤
He should never have been let out on parole. I am so infuriated about that!!! . Her poor family, my heart and prayers go out to them🙏💔😥 Thank you for, Adrian for, yet another concise video.
How scary it must be for the women to realize what almost happened to them. And the guilt they feel and others who saw him stalking and not reporting him following them.
This really saddens my heart when someone who is just beginning their journey has it stamped out by someone so evil. I can’t comprehend how ‘life’ never means life when they’re being sentenced. Also when a crime of murder is so evident of who has committed it, why on earth do we not have the death penalty? It really does beggar belief! Thanks for your sensitivity around this one, I’m sure if her family watches this they will appreciate the attention and respect that you have given to her and their family.

Also, women should be able to walk alone without fear of some nutter attacking. You are victim blaming with that comment.

This actually happened in my town, everyone was quite shaken that something so terrible could have happened in the community and I remember suddenly feeling really unsafe walking alone in the dark after her murder. She was just innocently walking home, she was taken too soon. R.I.P Zara.
It really bothers me how a drunken piece of trash can get the better of anyone especially stumbling around. Bless her. May we get angry when people try to violate us.

SA offenders like him should never be released from the prison. This behavior can not be rehabilitated. They will come out and do it again and even worse because they won’t want to go back in.
Never, ever let a girl friend walk home alone at night. Be sure she gets a cab or uber (let the driver see you) or walk with her up to her home entrance. It's sad but that's the world we live in.
I'm so Grateful that I have Coffeehouse Crime to give me such detailed facts about cases. I'm always learning details about cases that I hadn't heard before. Great Job Adrian. Your hard work & attention to detail are very much appreciated.
But I SO LOVE when you DO NOT bite your tongue! It makes the video that much more enjoyable!! I absolutely run to see your newly released videos. The ones you choose are quite interesting and it shows that similar things happen all over the world (sad as it may seem). Thank you for sharing your videos!
I’m rewatching this case, I had too many distractions today when I was watching it 🙆🏻♀️ In watching this video it just struck me about how many people are attacked within blocks of their homes, sometimes even just footsteps away. People get comfortable in their own neighborhood, their part of a town or city and their guard is down. They’re not looking around and aware of their surroundings. People need to make sure to not walk looking at their cellphone or wearing headphones or earbuds. If you’re not looking or listening you’re an easy target. The places you need to pay attention in most are the places you take for granted are safe. You can live without your cellphone or headphones when you’re out walking especially at night. It might just save your life! Be safe out there everyone. This case got me thinkin hard about this….
This case touched me so much, that guy is a monster who doesn't deserve any more freedom. Will you please cover Colleen ritzers case, I love how your videos are filled with footages, evidence etc. Can't wait for the next vid.
This is the first Coffeehouse Crime that has me shook. I think it’s because that dude had three chances to just go the hell home and sleep it off and STILL chose to do what he did. He never should have been let out. Some people cannot be rehabilitated. Period.
I simply love the way you report true crime. You look like you genuinely care. Take care and I hope you are well and having fun on your vacation. Or where you are and be safe. Ana Some one in San Antonio, Texas cares for you.

@Ali Mohammed, these are 2 completely separated crimes. The criminal is not excused because of this. Anyone,no matter the gender, should not be limited because of fear that animals like the attacker,will feel free to abuse them,just because the person is out of their house in the time somebody decided it is fair for it to be unsafe.

@@lioncub7601 Is it really possible to prevent every rape and killing of women by using the "women should not be limited "method? to me it sounds like wanting to teach wolves/wild animals to not eat the sheep instead of protecting the sheep.

It was a really sad case. I think social media and lack of accountability are a cause of many of the current problems societies are facing.
@@liveyourdreammedia Agree to disagree cause Social media has its pros too. People are and were shitty and social media just made that more clear. Even without social media lack of accountability will always be a big issue with a lot of other cons we can put on social media. Without the internet, it would just be hidden like it use to be or still is technically.
Repeat offenders especially violent ones need to be locked up for significant time. 29 convictions and over 60 something offenses. Couldn't be more obvious. Should have been locked up for a long time, years ago. Whoever gave him paroles needs to be charged with something as well. Also highlights how destructive some people can be on alcohol. This crime was totally preventable.
We have the same judicial system in Australia Adrian they get let out of jail on probation only to murder a young woman shortly after they're released...the police do the hard yards in catching them and then the lawyer's and the court's let those animal's out again...just a tragedy that she lost her life and I feel so sad for her family and friend's RIP Zara 💜😪
Hi Adrian. I knew 2 Adrians who were both accountants.
I was once attacked by a man on a busy street, in a nice area, in broad daylight. He was a stranger to me but was trying to say I was his ex-wife. I tried to stop one of the many cars which were passing, no one stopped they waved me away. The people walking down the street turned away and crossed the road. No one came out of their house. The gentleman in a stationary car nearby did nothing, not even call the police. In the end I managed to get free and outrun him. Don’t assume people will come to your assistance. Don’t assume just because it’s Saturday at 2pm with lots of people around you are safe: YOU ARE ALONE EVEN WHEN SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE!
I was once stalked by a man on a busy street in broad daylight. Same as you, no one did anything. The only reason why it didn't escalate was because I hid inside a store for at least 30 minutes while the stalker waited for me outside....
So sad💔😔
I’m sorry no one helped you. Society is so scared and weak. I would have helped take you to the police station to report the attack.
These days, it's hard to know if you are walking into a setup or if you'll unwittingly become victim #2. The most i can offer is to stay a safe distance and call the police for you.
@@nyashac4446 I agree with you. It could be a set up. Best to call the police.
One time when I was out for a walk a random woman suddenly linked arms with me and started talking like she knew me. I was confused at first but she kept glancing behind her and I realized she was trying to get away from someone. So we kept walking for a few blocks, she called a friend who was in a bar nearby, and when we got close she said thanks and went to meet her friend. It doesn't take much to help someone but if you're being followed don't assume anyone else will automatically jump in to help you. That woman basically forced me to help but she was smart in doing that instead of just waving her arms screaming for help. I would happily do that again if it means keeping a person safe.
You’re the real MVP ❤❤❤❤❤ girl power 💐
Be careful next time because it can be a setup, don’t trust anyone on the streets that u don’t know.

Thank U for being kind!

Guys like him are the reason why our mothers and girlfriends can't walk outside alone when it's dark and also the reason why girls are afraid of us young men / boys without us doing anything. I had it several times when I walked home from the supermarket (I'm often shopping there at 21.30 or even later) that girls who walked in front of me alone, were always looking at me (I'm walking faster than most women of course) and because I was afraid of making them afraid, I crossed the street or pretended that I'm on the phone (sometimes I was really calling a friend) and then talking about videogames or other nerdy stuff that hopefully makes her feel comfortable. Scary times we're living in. :(
Pretty grim that you should be experiencing that level of distrust. Problem is bad people (and they can be women as well men) don't have 'dangerous monster' tatooed across their foreheads. They look like me and you, so women in particular are cautious. I like wandering in the dark around 21.30 too. It's a nice time of day. I'm a sixty six year old retired teacher and school leader (female). My mum gives me grief. She says I'll be found dead, floating in the canal one day. Watch this space. In the meantime, you have every right to wander harmlessly in the dark and shop at 21.30.
Your a good man. I’m sorry we as women have to be on such guard, but thank you for doing what you can and being knowledgeable. And most importantly thank you for not blaming us.

BUT it never stopped me, i went as far as dressing and walking like a men in my younger years so that I could take nice walks at night.

People DO NOT change. Sex offenders should never be let out. 🤷♀️
Back in 2016, my ex-husband’s childhood friend tried to sexually assault me. He didn’t succeed. I told everyone about it. Reported it to the police. Some said: oh it’s women’s fault sometimes. I did nothing. We were on our way to my ex-husband’s mom’s wake. His friend had to pick me up from the airport because my ex-husband was still at the funeral parlor. I was an easy target for him, 5’2” Asian woman. He didn’t know I trained Muay Thai for four years and 3 years for boxing at that time. 2019, he sexually assaulted a 12 year old. Daughter of one of his childhood friend as well. And on that one, he was successful. I’m sorry, but people do not change. Sex offenders should just rot in jail. He was jailed, I was told. But released during the height of the pandemic. This isn’t right.

"Zara believed women should feel safe to walk streets alone late at night." Security cameras do not make streets safe. In the UK physical abuse is not punished seriously enough while carrying defensive weapons is treated with a presumption of misuse. It's an absurd situation.
Well said & so true!
Yes, you are %100 accurate. Carrying a defensive weapon is treated with a presumption of misuse in the UK, Canada etc along with some of our Liberal/Socialist States. Thankfully, in Florida we have Stand your Ground and we can carry weapons including a gun, pepper spray etc.

@Jose Carcamo If that last bit isn't victim shaming then i don't know what is. So what's the difference to me walking home from a night out at 4 am or me walking to to work at 4 am?
@Caz C I'm not sure if it's victim blaming. When I taught my kids to drive, I taught them to think defensively. It doesn't matter if you're in the right when your car gets smashed. The person who does evil is solely responsible for that evil. But if you can, don't be there.
My biggest fear. My daughter is nearly 13, and I think I've done well enough to drum certain things into her about safety etc, but you cannot plan for evil c*nts like this. But honestly, I think if anybody ever hurt my daughter, they wouldn't see another sunrise. This pieces of filth deserve NOTHING, especially seeing as the police and justice system are next to useless these days. Look out for each other.

I love how you highlight the victims, and focus attention on their humanity. Some channels objectify victims, whether they realize it or not. It's so frustrating to see CCTV cameras everywhere, but they do nothing to prevent crime.
Nevermind the fact that a woman can't carry any protection in England. If a sober woman can't fight off a drunk man, maybe they should rethink tha instead of praising victims or becoming a victim.
I could argue that the cameras caught the murderer and lead to his conviction, thus preventing him from committing crimes for 38 years. Also, we have no idea how many assailants are deterred by the cameras.
Taken the huge progress robotics has already reached, why can’t we have a computer analyze video in real time and alert police if anything is wrong? It's pretty easy at this stage to teach AI to differentiate between, say, a fight or a hug, screaming HELP vs other words, etc.
Why isn't this done yet....
His suffering abuse as a child is no excuse for what he did to his victims . A beautiful young woman with a promising life and career died at the hands of a total loser .
It’s not an excuse, but the correlation between violent individuals and those who were abused and never supported is too high to dismiss the claim that there isn’t some causation mixed in there.
It’s not an excuse, but a partial explanation, and gives one reason it’s so vital to protect children from abuse.
@@melissaclifford8398 Still has nothing to do with anything, the act was still done.

From an older gal to the younger ones, don't travel anywhere by yourself at night. Take a cab. Be on your phone with someone the whole while, and make it obvious your on the phone. If you think you're being followed, go to a public place, and tell people. Then get that cab. If you've been drinking, just get the ride home. You're impaired, even a little bit. Just better to be safe.
Please, be careful out there.
Taxi and private hire cars aren’t always safe either 😩
It's a shame that women have to take so many extra steps to protect ourselves.
I just mentioned taxi, and not ride shares. I don't trust ride shares if I'm on my own. Taxi drivers have to have some paper trail at least if something were to happen, and I believe at least in some states, they need a special license. It's why I also talked about being on your phone. Talking to someone while walking or riding will help you seem like less of an easy target, because someone will immediately know something is up and likely to call the police. It's sadly not fool proof, but it's better than not having any advice to give.
Same advice I always give to my daughters! And if they can’t find a cab, stay where there are and I’ll come and pick them up, no matter where and what time it is. I won’t even be mad that they were out late. I just want them home safe.
It’s awful that women have to take all these extra precautions just to stay safe from predators after a night out. I’ve never had to face that fear as a man and I want to know what us men can do to prevent these things from happening.
It’s horrifying thinking about the women who wasn’t attacked, what they must be thinking and feeling knowing they could’ve been killed by him that night.
They could have saved her life if they'd reported him.
He wasn't exactly discreet.
Police could have put an alert out, drunken man, topless, harassing women, easily picked up.
Bust him, find out he's wanted for breach of probation, then he would've gone back inside.

You know, even if it wasn't your intention, this sounds like victim blaming.
Thank you for covering this. I have an ex that was similar to Jordan. I was lucky but I remember when this happened to Zara and I lived in the city. It made my heart ache and I attended a candlelit vigil, so much old came back but I saw changes in how people engage in violent situations where women are the victims.
I watch a ton of true crime and nothing affects me much anymore. But this one really got to me. I've been hard crying for 20 minutes, thanks for the great video, it reminded me to remember the victims more than the killers.

And they released him early then were shocked when he didn't show up for his meetings. Those people should be held responsible as well. Their judgment is terrible.
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt Honour killings, child marriages, domestic abuse, polygamy, terrorism.....the list goes on..no religion is perfect... Same is the case with Islam. At least have some compassion for the victim instead of spamming your victim-blaming and glorifying-islam comments everywhere. Cringey dude. Yikes.
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt Sorry, but fuck that. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of kids experience abuse, sexual and physical, every year. MOST of them don’t come out like this waste of space.
His parents failed him, but he allowed himself to become a monster. He made those choices, he became a serial criminal. Feel sorry for the child, but do not excuse the adult’s behavior. He could have made something of himself, he didn’t, he let his abuse spiral into this disgusting, sad excuse of a human being. How very sad
I live in Canada, and we often get notices about violent offenders being released. The notices even mention that these people are at a high risk of reoffending, and yet, they’re allowed to live freely. These people generally end up getting arrested again within days of their release. I don’t understand how or why this is allowed. Why release someone who is violent and likely to commit crimes? The justice system clearly needs a lot of change.
Because not all of us "violent offenders" reoffend.
@@desensitizedanalyser5624then you wouldn't be considered high risk if that's the case
It’s about who you vote for to get the people out who allow these people out again
Canada is to "woke" that's why.
@@desensitizedanalyser5624 Anyone who fits that bill should be disposed of. Problem solved.
I think that telling the stories of the victims is an important step. And your channel is helping. Also focusing on follow up with violent offenders, especially spending money effectively on supervision. Finally, adequate mental services for kids who are brought up in abuse.
This is a horrific story. I don’t remember hearing anything about this case. Zara was a beautiful, intelligent and kind woman. My heart breaks for her family and friends. May she rest in peace 🙏
Hi TC. Adrian I hope you see & read my comment. Zara was beautiful & talented also. RIP & may your stalker loser predator rot in jail & hell! Love your channel, peace from Janine Smiley✌👍👋🙏🆒️💯❕❗🙂😀😍😎😇🏡🚗🚘🎵🎶🇺🇸🇬🇧
Tragic. Hope the familie sued the screwed up system.
I genuinely don't think this got enough coverage at the time. I Do remember this, but it was very minimal coverage. Thank you, coffee house crime, for giving this story the respect and coverage it she so rightly deserves.
You know why? Because she was from minority community (Specifically Pakistani with a Muslim background) and her attacker was Anglo-Saxon. If it was reverse, you would have heard it day in day out. The Conservatives would make it into a cautionary tale of how awful immigration is for the "British society" and that POS woman, Suella Braverman would say that this proves how dangerous Muslim Pakistani men are!
The number of lone women attacks by strangers in London the past few years is terrifying. I’m glad I left in 2020. Poor woman, there is nothing that would truly bring her justice
Violence against women seems to be an ongoing issue in many Western countries. Speaking from the U.S.
@@EndisNai that's just not true as a man you are much more likely to be a victim of violent crime. Stop spreading false information.
Yes i agree, ive also seen a few other crime stories of murders of woman in very similar situation in that country over the years
It's not just London, it seems to be on the rise everywhere unfortunately. 😢
There is nowhere safe when you're a woman. Unfortunately.
This type of thing makes me glad that my dog won’t let any strangers near me on our walks.
This case truly sickens me, such a horrific way to die at the hands of someone who should never have been allowed out. Watching him roam the streets looking for a victim like a wild rabid animal is terrifying. I'm less than year younger than Zara but she loved a life so much fuller and impactful than mine. I'm so sad her life was stolen from her, her family, friends and community

In response to the aunt’s quote and gut wrenching questions of change I have this to say “I am intelligent enough to know when someone is pain, I am empathetic enough to understand that pain, but I am wise enough to know this isn’t a situation of whether change can happen because criminal and people who have nothing to lose are just that. Zara was extremely unfortunate to be caught in a seriously bad situation..” I hope her family finds peace and tranquillity.
Well said, was thinking something along those lines myself. Sucks for the girl and her family but These guys know it's wrong and do it anyway.
Families have to transform, societies need to transform. Things have to change at their root so that we have less people developing into monsters.
This guy had clearly given up. For something like this to happen you really need to be completely broken within, and that's what happened to him. He didn't care about the cameras, about leaving fingerprints, he didn't even care whom to hurt - he looked for anyone over whom to exert his power to compensate for his feeling of misery and inadequacy. He didn't even appear at the trial, not because he's a coward, but because he doesn't care. Truly scary.
I agree. I made a comment that I think more than we would like to admit want to be in prison because they can live a more stable life inside than outside.

My sister and her family live in Ilford, Essex. I use to work nights for a homeless shelter project and used to use the overhead line to Barking in Ilford and as I'd walk down to Loxford Lane...THE AMOUNT OF KERB Crawlers(Actively looking for "Night Workers") They'd aggressively try to approach me "For Business" I'd have to assertively state to them...Quite loudly..."I'm armed so don't bother yourself" I grew up in Hackney in East London so by the age of 7/8 years of age I could read a persons eyes...if they're mentally unstable or drunk BUT thankfully I've never needed to get hands on with revellers 🙏🏾 I carry a perfume spray as another form of deterrent too. It's sickening what London has become.
Thank you for the thoughtful coverage of this story. I won't lie. I've never commented before, but this was so infuriating and deeply saddening to watch. It's was terrifying watching him walk around like a predator following those first two women, evade getting caught and then continue to chase women. I feel like this happens a lot. Hearing about all the opportunities this man could've been stopped, from public passersby, her neighbours, no one helped. Plus, the many times this horrible creature slipped through every possible crack in the system that led to Zara's death, this feels like it was preventable. Her aunt was right. There needs to be a conversation with leaders, educators and a deep change in mindset of people. Sexual boundaries needs to be taught alongside sex ed/ biology or something because people need to learn this is not okay.

The only talk and change that needs to be done is for guns to be legal in the UK. Had that woman been legally carrying a weapon, she wouldn't have been a victim.
What's a conversation going to do? Go talk to Jordan, there's no reasoning with men like that.
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt His parents are criminals, the girls walking alone at night are to be blamed....but you have no issue with people who do evils like the psychopath in this case....I wish you were raised right. Instead you ended up a sexist and religious fundamentalist.
Sex ed would do nothing to prevent this, sane people already know it's not okay. What needs to change is there should be more strict prison sentences for people like this with many prior convictions.
Why in the hell is someone with 69 convictions on the streets to begin with? Do we think someone with 69 or even ten or twenty is not going to continue commiting crimes? I hope her family sued everyone!
Well chances are people like her family were the ones supporting more "humane" punishments for young criminals, hence how he could have that many and not have longer prison sentences. This is what happens when prison reform and naive activism blend together, you get criminals getting away with more than they should.
White privilege , he even failed to show up to his parole appointments

The number of "if onlys" in this case is staggering. If only one of those other women he followed had called the police. If only the two men who saw him following the other woman had intervened. If only someone who heard her screams (there MUST have been some) had come to her aid. If only law enforcement had picked him up at the time they were supposed to. To Zara's family: I am so, so sorry that Zara was failed, on so many levels. She was a special and beautiful young woman, inside and out. My heart goes out to you, and I'm sure that the bravery you are showing in speaking out will help other women in the future.

Well done Adrian. You always show such compassion to the victims. In. Watching this actually having my morning coffee I have to be a not so nice person and say, I am so sorry that bus or car missed hitting him. He is truly evil to be so smug about his crime. Here in the United states a criminal has to be in the courtroom. They cant be cowards. I only hope a better system is worked out to keep these offenders behind bars. Healing prayers for her family 💙
I will always love the way Adrian shows so much respect to the victims and doesn't morbidly idolize the perpetrator like other true crime channels. I truly hope Zara's family have found peace. This was such a sad video.
Thank you for calling out the shame everyone who seen her being followed and heard her screams, but did nothing. You are absolutely correct when you make it clear there was opportunity for interference. He shouldn't have been able to have gotten away with so much in such a built up area. She was failed by her community. I am so devastated for her and her family.
And not just them - also the people who had previously seen him stalking women and did nothing. Really, how much of an effort is it to pick up your phone and report to police that there is a drunk guy stalking women? Even those women who escaped him might have made the report, he could have been apprehended and Zara could have lived. THIS is what needs to be talked about, to look out for the safety of others and not just one's own.
Such a shame, I had NO idea about this story and I live in South East London. The news have been bombarding nothing but the government and their awful practices, and I don’t recall hearing any of this. Such a shame. Glad you covered this. 💚
Thank you for bringing this to light, Adrian. It’s nice to bring the victim into the light, so us who aren’t aware can be appreciative of their life/legacy. RIP Zara.

She gave so much and loved so much just to be struck down by a perverted and sick individual. I won’t even call him by his name to give him power. The even saddest part about all this is that Zara wasn’t even his initial target. It could’ve been ANYONE and he didn’t care at all. He deserves to be 6ft under. Not her.

I'm so sorry. I'm so very sorry.
SA offenders like him should never be released from the prison. This behavior can not be rehabilitated. They will come out and do it again and even worse because they won’t want to go back in.
Never, ever let a girl friend walk home alone at night.
Be sure she gets a cab or uber (let the driver see you) or walk with her up to her home entrance.
It's sad but that's the world we live in.
Agree.
It’s sad but no one is guaranteed protection at any time

I'm so Grateful that I have Coffeehouse Crime to give me such detailed facts about cases. I'm always learning details about cases that I hadn't heard before. Great Job Adrian. Your hard work & attention to detail are very much appreciated.
Thank you!
Love they way you talk about the victims, keep up the great work!
Thank you for the videos, still looking forward to them every week after months. Congrats on your permanent residency! 🎉
All the hard work that's put into these videos are great! Keep it up!
True,hard work and true facts.
@@joshuarodriguez3025 do not care .
But I SO LOVE when you DO NOT bite your tongue! It makes the video that much more enjoyable!! I absolutely run to see your newly released videos. The ones you choose are quite interesting and it shows that similar things happen all over the world (sad as it may seem). Thank you for sharing your videos!
I’m rewatching this case, I had too many distractions today when I was watching it 🙆🏻♀️ In watching this video it just struck me about how many people are attacked within blocks of their homes, sometimes even just footsteps away. People get comfortable in their own neighborhood, their part of a town or city and their guard is down. They’re not looking around and aware of their surroundings. People need to make sure to not walk looking at their cellphone or wearing headphones or earbuds. If you’re not looking or listening you’re an easy target. The places you need to pay attention in most are the places you take for granted are safe. You can live without your cellphone or headphones when you’re out walking especially at night. It might just save your life! Be safe out there everyone. This case got me thinkin hard about this….
This case touched me so much, that guy is a monster who doesn't deserve any more freedom. Will you please cover Colleen ritzers case, I love how your videos are filled with footages, evidence etc. Can't wait for the next vid.
This is the first Coffeehouse Crime that has me shook. I think it’s because that dude had three chances to just go the hell home and sleep it off and STILL chose to do what he did. He never should have been let out. Some people cannot be rehabilitated. Period.
I simply love the way you report true crime. You look like you genuinely care. Take care and I hope you are well and having fun on your vacation. Or where you are and be safe. Ana Some one in San Antonio, Texas cares for you.
It’s so sad that someone who seem genuinely like a good person died so tragically 😢 can’t fathom what her last moments must have been like
The real criminals are his parents who abused him instead of loving him as a child and raising him to be a respected man. This is why in Islam alcohol and drugs are forbidden and walking alone at night as a woman.
@Ali Mohammed, these are 2 completely separated crimes. The criminal is not excused because of this.
Anyone,no matter the gender, should not be limited because of fear that animals like the attacker,will feel free to abuse them,just because the person is out of their house in the time somebody decided it is fair for it to be unsafe.
Give me a break,Mohammed! 23:54
@@lioncub7601 I didnt state the obvious that the killer is evil/bad.. everyone knows this. I just wanted to share the solution that my religion offers. Not every abuse is equally bad, this guy obviously wasn't raised well. I see him wrong, his parents, zara and her parents all are fault in zaras death
@@lioncub7601 Is it really possible to prevent every rape and killing of women by using the "women should not be limited "method? to me it sounds like wanting to teach wolves/wild animals to not eat the sheep instead of protecting the sheep.
When you live in a world where "monsters" don't exist then you can be weak, drunk, and alone at night, but the reality is that Allah SWT forbade that in the Quran, because until the day of judgment monsters will always exist.
@@AliMohammed-ez6nt and the devout Muslim women who don’t drink or go out and get rap*d/kill*d by their husbands? Maybe they shouldn’t have gotten married at all to “protect them from the wolves”.
Wow, Adrian. This case & your video...I cried so hard! Excellent presentation. I like the thought & conversation provoking questions you ask as well.
Thank you so much for your work! Amazing, high quality content (:
You can tell a crime story, sad and heartbreaking 💔, great production work Adrian.🙏🇨🇦❤️
Such a wonderful, beautiful amazing young woman and this world has lost a bright light. But thank YOU for how you covered this, and all the stories u do, you make it more about the victim than the monster. I love your content and your caring way!!!❤❤❤
how utterly heart-breaking!!! A beautiful woman, life cut short by this evil individual! RIP Zara, what a loss to society! Condolences to Zara's family and friends.

this case happened exceptionally close to me .
Breaks my heart as the tube station really isn’t far from where she was unfortunately murdered.
The park close by valentines park is one of me and my sister’s favourite spots , I have only been once since this happened I really hope they do a memorial in the park for her ❤
What a great idea!!!🤍
Thank you so much for sharing this story, i live here in the UK and i honestly never heard of this case, i believe you said in the video that it was at the same time as Gaby's story which had over shadowed this story. It's just awful to think this could happen to anyone. I totally unprovoked attack. There's simply no excuse for this behaviour, no matter how you were brought up.
