The victim of the Oxford Street murder was on bail for a horrific rape and gang stabbing, it was revealed today.

Steven Bigby, 22, had been charged with raping a 16-year-old girl who had caustic soda poured over her body to destroy DNA evidence.

He was also charged with another attack in which a man was knifed in a gang fight.

Bigby was stabbed in the chest in front of hundreds of shoppers and commuters outside a McDonald's restaurant near Oxford Circus station at about 4.45pm on Monday.

He had been charged in January, along with nine others, over the rape of a girl at a house in Tottenham. She suffered terrible burns from the drain cleaning fluid and at one point it was feared she would die.

Bigby - a member of the north London gang Tugs From Around - was tagged after being freed on bail last week to await trial.

Seems like this was planned

Got what he deserved

As far as i'm concerned the gangs can all carry on knifing each other- less to worry about that way.

"Police said yesterday that they believed Bigby was the first person to be killed in Oxford Street, one of Europe's busiest shopping streets.

Two passing doctors gave him immediate treatment before he was taken to hospital, where he died shortly after arrival"

What a contradiction

And he was on bail, most rapists are remanded in custody I think.   Unless of course you're an ex-copper.
