Crossbow Cannibal victim kicked in head during earlier brutal attack

Suzanne Blamires, who was brutally killed by Crossbow Cannibal Stephen Griffiths, was repeatedly kicked in the head and body during an attack six months before her murder.

A woman who witnessed the attack in December 2009 feared the prostitute might be killed as Slovakian Jaroslav Balog and Czech national Jiri Soukal kicked her and assaulted her as she lay defenceless on the ground.

Prosecutor Alesha Kaye told Bradford Crown Court yesterday how one of the attackers demanded £40 from Miss Blamires and said the witness was also threatened during the incident in the City Road area.
