Nicosia (Cyprus):
Cyprus-based psychic detective Briton, Robert Cracknell is to come out of retirement to help track down the killer of Sally Anne Bowman, his agent said yesterday.
Bowman, 18, was sexually assaulted and repeatedly stabbed outside her house in Croydon, south London, in the early hours of September 25. Police say they fear she could have been the random victim of a serial sex attacker.
Cracknell, famous for his work on the Yorkshire Ripper case as well as dozens of murders and kidnappings, says he wants to use his psychic abilities to bring the 18-year-old model's killer to justice.
The psychic detective who now lives in a secluded villa in Limassol said he made the decision after reading details of the murder.
His spokesman Kizzi Nkwocha, from the Paphos-based PR HQ said: “Robert is one of the few psychics in the world who has been accepted by the police in both the UK and United States. He has been instrumental in providing a break through in several cases on both sides of the continent.
“After many years as a detective, he vowed to step down and lead a less hectic lifestyle in the Mediterranean. Robert wants to make it clear that he will not accept any reward for doing this. He merely feels that the police are missing a piece of the jigsaw and he can help them find it.”
Speaking to the Cyprus Mail yesterday, Cracknell said he had an insight into the case when he first read about it but didn’t want to become involved, although it had been put to him.
“When it was first put to me I was a little concerned about it. I thought I’d rather wait until the police said they were stuck,” Cracknell said.
“At the time they were indicating that they were on to a serial killer. They now seem to be stuck and have put out a plea for help. It’s an interesting case. I do not think at the moment anyone is on the right track. There is no movement on the case. It seems to have suddenly gone quiet.”
Cracknell said when he first read about the case and a possible link to a previous attack he had a feeling there wasn’t an actual pattern involved.
“Murder takes place every day but the media seem to pick out one particular one and for some unknown reason picked this one, and there was the attack on the woman earlier. But I thought ‘no, it’s not right’. I think the fact that it’s gone quiet is what intrigues and interests me and I thought this was one to have a go at.”
