Police footage showing arrest of Vasile Culea who killed pensioner Freda Walker in Langwith Junction

This is the moment police forced their way into a property, loudly battering in the door, to arrest Langwith Junction murderer Vasile Culea. A woman could be heard screaming in the background as burly officers, in helmets, visors and protective gear could be made out in the darkness, after 1.30am on January 20 this year, making their way up the stairs calling out, "Police, police, stay where you are".

On the footage, released today by Derbyshire Constabulary, Culea, of Grove Road, Church Warsop, dived face down onto a crumpled black duvet on a bed at the sight of officers who recorded the killer's arrest after he savagely attacked elderly couple Ken and Freda Walker in their own home in Station Road, Langwith Junction. Culea was cuffed by one officer with his hands behind his back and asked his name.

He identified himself by "Vasile" as he was taken off the bed and into a police van with a cage inside, where he sat with his legs by his side in casual clothes, as he was told why he was being arrested - on suspicion of the murder of Freda Walker from the 14-15th of January and the attempted murder of Kenneth Walker.
