This is the CCTV footage that helped nail sinister Matthew Stevens as the monster who tried to murder a woman found naked in woods.
He had left his victim so badly injured by repeatedly stamping, kicking and punching her, she had no memory of what had happened. But a trawl by police through cameras helped to piece together what had happened.
The pair were seen walking towards Stevens' home in Brunswick Village, Newcastle, in the early hours of March 11, with no apparent issues between them. But after a chilling gap of 50 minutes, during which he stripped the woman naked and dragged her into brambles and trees in a horrific and sustained attack, Stevens is then seen walking away from the scene of his abhorrent crime alone, with her jewellery in his pocket as a sick "trophy".
