February 25, 1966 - Robert Napper
Napper's crimes in early 1990s London included the rape and murder of Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon Common in 1992 — a case that became one of Britain's most scrutinized criminal investigations, partly because an innocent man was wrongly prosecuted for the killing before Napper was eventually identified. His conviction for that crime came only in 2008, more than fifteen years after the fact, following DNA evidence that linked him to a series of attacks across South London.
