Zara Aleena walked everywhere. She packed her party shoes in her handbag, put her trainers on, and walked. On the day the 35-year-old was killed she was coming back from a night out with friends. She was just 10 minutes away from her family home in Gants Hill, East London, when she was “attacked by a stranger”. Her family said that Zara, an aspiring lawyer, believed “a woman should be able to walk home” but that now her future had been “brutally taken”.
