years after pleading guilty to rape and attempted
buggery.

originally from Preston, is linked to
an unsolved murder in the north of England. He is a
convicted rapist and is believed to have raped six women
and sexually assaulted at least a dozen more.

again.

vanished from the Commercial Street red-light area, less
than half a mile from where Miss Guo went missing

Brown was arrested for the murder of Xiao Mei Guo and
charged soon after with both murders.
Friday
3rd October 2008, Brown denied murder, but admitted
paying both women for sex before they disappeared.
The Jury
took just three hours to find him guilty.
Convicted of
two murders. It was alleged he killed out of a wish to
be famous, and emulate serial Killers like
Jack the Ripper.
He had collected books about
serial killers and told a friend he was going to be
famous.
Sentenced to
a minimum term of 30 years.
The bodies of the two
women have never been found, but DIY equipment found in
his flat, including a hacksaw and extra-strength
bin-bags suggests he may have dismembered the bodies and
disposed of the body parts separately.
