WORLD BRIEFING : BRITAIN : Suspect charged in serial rapes
Times Wire Reports
After one of Britain’s longest-running hunts for a serial rapist, Scotland Yard detectives charged a 52-year-old man with a string of nearly a dozen assaults and burglaries.
The man is accused of being the so-called Night Stalker, who broke into homes, disabled phone lines and crept into the bedrooms of his elderly victims for hours-long ordeals.
Delroy Grant appeared in court charged with five counts of rape, six indecent assaults and 11 burglaries between 1992 and 2009.
His lawyer did not ask for bail.
