MP: GET ANSWERS FOR BEAST VICTIM Corfu rape case plea to Foreign Sec Raab
THE Foreign Secretary will be called on to intervene after the early release of a serial rapist dubbed the Beast of Kavos.
This month victim Kayleigh Morgan, 32, bravely spoke out in the Sunday People after discovering vile fiend Dimitris Aspiotis had been freed from jail 43 YEARS early.
Her MP, Scunthorpe’s Nic
Dakin, said the British Airways stewardess wanted to know why he had been released.
He said: “This is unacceptable. I want to help her get the answers and justice she deserves. I look forward to hearing how the Government will help Kayleigh get justice.” More than 5,000 people have signed an online petition calling for Aspiotis to be jailed again.
Kayleigh, who waived her anonymity to speak of her 14-hour ordeal, was a holiday rep in 2010 when Aspiotis pounced in Kavos on Corfu.
He had been released six weeks earlier, having served half of a six-year sentence for raping three
Brit women from 1997 to 2005. RANGERS star striker Jermain Defoe dodged injury in a three-car pile-up after scoring in his side’s 5-0 win at home against Aberdeen.
Police were called to the crash near the Clyde Tunnel in
Glasgow just after 6pm.
Images show 36-year-old Kayleigh was one of four Britons he raped in 46 days on the Greek island that year. It is feared he has preyed on up to 100 women.
The case caused an international scandal when it emerged detectives had identified him as their prime suspect immediately after a previous rape in July 2010. But they waited until he had raped four more women, i ncluding Kayleigh, as well as a 47-year-old he strangled to unconsciousness, before finally calling the British Consulate to help hunt him. After 18 days on the run, Aspiotis was finally captured in an Defoe’s £140,000 Range Rover Sport suffered a smashed front end and bo both front air bags went off.
A BMW also suffered major fr front-end damage.
Police said no one was hurt b but a 23-year-old man was facing prosecution for a road traffic offence. operation police described as “the success of the decade”. In 2012, Aspiotis, 47, was jailed for 52 years but ended up serving less than nine.
Tory MP and Leader of the House Jacob Rees- Mogg will raise the issue with Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, pictured above.
He said: “For him to have been released so soon seems to indicate that the consequences of his actions are not being justly imposed upon him.
“I will of course bring this to the attention of the Foreign Secretary.”
