Scotland Yard cattura stupratore seriale accusato di quasi 200 aggressioni/Man charged with "Night Stalker" sex attacks on elderly

Giunge da Scotland Yard la notizia più confortante della giornata per i temi affrontati da questo blog: la cattura di uno strupratore seriale che per diciassette anni ha aggredito quasi 200 donne anziane dai 68 anni ai 93. Si tratta di un uomo sposato di 52 anni, Delroy Grant, insospettabile, di giorno premuroso nell'assistere la moglie costretta sulla sedia a rotelle dalla sla, di notte implacabile cacciatore che con un identito modus operandi, si introduceva nottetempo nelle case delle vittime, tagliava i fili della luce e del telefono e indossando passamontagna e tuta neri assaltava le donne cogliendole nel sonno, puntando loro una luce violenta sul volto. Sebbene sulle scene dei crimini fossero state raccolte quasi 2000 tracce di Dna, soltanto un grossolano errore ha permesso la cattura del criminale: ha utilizzato il bancomat di una vittima per prelevare denaro.

Ho preferito risalire alla fonte originale dal Times on line per sottopporre alla vostra attenzione questo articolo di Adam Fresco insieme alla domanda:" Secondo voi quale motivazione potrebbe aver spinto ad un simile comportamento violento ed abietto contro donne anziane un uomo che era marito premuroso ed accudente la consorte malata?
Prima di esporre la mia ipotesi interpretativa vorrei conoscere le vostre opinioni

Man charged with ‘Night Stalker’ sex attacks on elderly
Adam Fresco, Crime Correspondent


A 52-year-old full-time carer has appeared in court today charged with a series of rapes and indecent assaults on elderly people over the last 17 years.
Delroy Grant appeared at Greenwich Magistrates’ Court, a day after he was arrested by detectives hunting a sex attacker dubbed the Night Stalker.
Mr Grant, from Brockley, southeast London, was charged with five rapes, six indecent assaults, two burglaries, eight burglaries with violence and one burglary with intent to rape, dating from between October 1992 and May this year. Twelve of the offences related to a three month period between June and August 1999, according to court papers.
Wearing a white tracksuit and appearing relaxed, Mr Grant spoke aloud only to confirm his name, age and address.

District Judge Angus Hamilton remanded him into police custody until Thursday when he is due to appear in court again.
Detectives from Operation Minstead arrested Mr Grant as he returned to his car in Shirley, southeast London, yesterday morning.
Operation Minstead was set up to find the man known as the Night Stalker, who targeted men and women aged up to 93 across South London, breaking into their homes and subjecting them to horrific ordeals of up to four hours.
The incidents took place in clusters in South and southeast London, including Dulwich, Orpington, Norwood, Downham, Lee, Croydon, West Wickham and Bickley.
Striking up to nine times a week, the attacker has eluded police for 17 years despite a huge manhunt which involved sending officers to the Caribbean and detectives offering a £40,000 reward.
The Night Stalker is known to have attacked at least 108 times, although more recent assaults were not publicised and, according to reports, that total may be closer to 200.
