"Deng Chol Majek, a Sudanese asylum seeker who has said he is 19, was caught on CCTV as he followed Rhiannon Skye Whyte from the town's Park Inn hotel to Walsall's Bescot Stadium station. Wolverhampton Crown Court heard Majek, who is on trial for murder, was clearly excited about what he had done after inflicting a total of 23 stab wounds to Whyte, primarily to her head, on the station platform."
"Whyte, whose shift had finished at 11pm, could be heard screaming during a phone call to a friend and was found by a train guard on the platform minutes later, according to prosecutor Michelle Heeley KC. Opening the crown's case against Majek, Ms Heeley told the court he followed the 27-year-old from the hotel where he was living. Ms Heeley said: He followed her down onto the train platform at the Bescot Stadium station and then he attacked her."
CCTV footage shows Deng Chol Majek following 27-year-old hotel worker Rhiannon Skye Whyte from the Park Inn to Walsall's Bescot Stadium station. Whyte suffered 23 stab wounds, mainly to the head, and died three days after the attack.
