Cambridge "Night Stabber"

Because we were all sent a picture of him. And he looked the same. And he was on his own and being decidedly "dodgy"

Hmmm, I haven't seen any pictures of this guy - is it the same one who was wandering around Pembroke the other night? Some random guy knocked on some of my friends' doors and scared the shit out of them, same night as the first stabbing.

Am a bit worried because frankly some of the security round here leaves a lot to be desired, although we do have 24 hour porters. However, hopefully if I don't go out on my own in the middle of the night (which I don't make a habit of) I'll be ok

Well the police emailed our porters and insisted that we all got a picture of him. Perhaps they think we're more of a risk? I can email it to you if you like - keep an eye out for him.... Our porters are very good compared to some I have seen in other colleges (they know my name and smile at me if they see me in town - whereas other porters I have seen smoking at their desks!) It's just such a shame we attract the nutters.

Invest in something like this Blissy if your really worried:

My grandma's got one but hers makes a massive sound as well.

Hmmmm. I was actually scared when I just went to have a bath - I had to check all the doors of the other showers/toilets just to "make sure". I will take you up on your offer, although I will go for the un-edited version (i.e. free protection).

p.s. Went past JJB today as I got my eyes done. Need glasses <Sniff>

Are things always this violent in Cambridge? I knew the grass was browner on the other side, but I didn't think it would be this bad...

Why do the words 'you will respect my authoritah' spring to mind....

I suppose they can't forbid access to every suspicious looking person though. If they did the game of assasins would fall apart, surely.

It's the randomness of the attacks which is worrying, if it had a motive it might be less of a threat but the guy is evidently just a nutter. Sooner he's caught the better.

No 24hr porters here, which is fun, but the doors are pretty heavy and it's a locked building. I'm right in the area where it's been happening too, one was outside the arundel hotel (150yds away or so).

Everyone's going a bit mad here. Locked bedroom doors, all men must be escorted at ALL times and any lone men have to be reported!

Hehe, my cousin told me a semi-amusing story about a friend of his who went to a party at your college a while back. One of his female friends got completely legless, so being gentlemanly, he took her back to her room and put her to bed (entirely innocently, I promise!). Just as he was walking back to the party, the porter got him and chucked him out - he wasn't even allowed to go and rescue his coat or tell people where he was going! I know they have to be careful, but that sort of thing is a shame.

A girl was sexually assualted on her way up Castle Hill by another member of the university a while back - so I suppose I can understand it, although it is a shame. Blame the men who come and masturbate at our windows, lurk around college and attempt to steal things.
