Convicted Child Rapist and Murderer Dies Behind Bars
Viktors Dembovskis Dies at HMP Frankland, Aged 63
Notorious criminal Viktors Dembovskis has died in custody at HMP Frankland. The 63-year-old was serving a life sentence for one of the most chilling crimes in recent UK history.
Monster Locked Up for Life
Dembovskis was slammed with three life sentences in March 2006 after a unanimous jury convicted him of raping and murdering 17-year-old Jeshma Raithatha. The teenager was brutally taken from the streets of London, and Dembovskis was told he would never see the outside world again.
Tragic Disappearance of Jeshma Raithatha
Jeshma vanished on May 16, 2005. The promising student was last seen leaving Claremont High School in Kenton, north west London, where she was studying for her A-levels. She disappeared at 1.20pm and never made it home.
Shocking Discovery After Desperate Search
After a frantic eight-day search, Jeshma’s lifeless body was discovered on May 24. It was hidden deep in undergrowth near a recreation ground by the David Lloyd Leisure Centre and Greenford Road in Sudbury Hill, West London. The harrowing case shocked the nation and brought a relentless hunt for justice.
