I just heard on the radio that a girl was murdered in Plumstead on Saturday night and that her supposed killer has just been remanded...Nice hey. So I did a search to try and find some more details about it and there wasn't much. But, the story underneath was about a rape that supposedly took place in January. The story says basically that a woman got drunk, fell asleep in the taxi, it took her to Plumstead police station, she paid the fare and the police "warned her not to walk home". Seriously, could they not have done more than warn her. She had been at a work's party, was drunk, fell asleep in the cab and they seriously just let her make her own way home. Christ the police in Plumstead need sorting out. No wonder there is a new Chief Super or whoever, this is the same station that let the cab rapist go without being caught for far too long as well. Doesn't fill me with confidence that if anything happen they will be there in a flash. Apparantly they warned her not to walk home and did offer to (or did) call another mini cab but she'd gone. Um yes she was drunk she probably didn't know where she was going, who in their right mind lets a drunk woman walk around in according to the police her "an area renowned for robbery".
Well done Plumtead police, you must be so proud.

As for the other story.... I'm amazed the cabbie was willing to take such a drunk passenger. Normally they just drive on by. But at least he took her to the police station. Maybe they should have locked her up for her own good?
