A YOUNG West Yorkshire woman woman killed after an asylum seeker allegedly drove the wrong way down a motorway was a university-educated aspiring model, her family said today.

Rebecca Caine, 20, from Birstall near Leeds, was a back seat passenger in a Chevrolet Matiz, when the vehicle was involved in a head on collision with a Renault Megane, coming the wrong way up the motorway, allegedly driven by Zimbabwean Wilfred Museka.

Miss Caine, known as Becky, died in the crash but the driver of the Matiz and two other passengers suffered only minor injuries.

The Chevrolet was heading east towards Leeds when the collision occurred at 3am on Sunday, near to junction 21 of the M62, near Milnrow, Greater Manchester.

Museka, 31 of Powell Street, Clayton, Manchester appeared at Bury Magistrates’ Court today charged with causing death by dangerous driving and was remanded into custody.

Miss Caine leaves behind twin brother Jack, younger sister Emma, her mother Susan and her partner Russell, and father Tim and his wife Joanne.

In a tribute from her family, they said: “As you can imagine our lives are shattered and our hearts are broken into pieces.

“She was a beautiful girl with her whole life ahead of her. She was embarking on a modelling career and would be finishing her final year of her business degree at Leeds University.

“Rebecca was a bright light that attracted everything to her with her infectious laugh and her beaming smile.

“She saw the best in everyone and was loved by hundreds of friends. The worst part is the emptiness and the total waste of a beautiful life. She was only 20 when she died.

“She was our little girl now she is our little angel. Something somewhere has failed us.

“We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the police and other services for helping us through this difficult time.”

Museka is also charged with fraud by false representation in that he claimed to have held a full UK driving licence for 10 years to get reduced insurance premiums, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.

At the brief court hearing today Robin Lynch, prosecuting, told the court the defendant is an asylum seeker in the UK.

District Judge Mark Hadfield remanded the defendant in custody to appear at Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester, on October 8.

Sergeant Lee Westhead from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, of Greater Manchester Police, said: “A team of specialist officers are now investigating and we are providing support to the victim’s family. My thoughts are with the victim’s family at this terrible time.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 856 4741.

Sadistic park killer bludgeoned pensioners to death in random attacks in Alexandra Park and Queen's Wood.

Killer wore scull and crossbones gloves and beat elderly men to death in month of violence.

 

A sadistic double murderer who wore skull and crossbones gloves in a month of random violence faces a life sentence today.

Ali Koc, 30, beat his victims with lumps of wood, before head butting, punching and kicking them in a series of motiveless attacks in parks across north London.

Koc stalked the parks and woodland near his home in Hornsey to batter two pensioners to death and attack five other strangers.

Victor Parsons, 67, died seven weeks after he was battered with a branch shaped like a “caveman's club” in Alexandra Park.

Keith Needell, 84, died six months after being beaten in Queen's Wood.

Koc, who came to Britain from Turkey and lived off benefits, was convicted today of both murders as well as five assaults on other men who were either jogging or dog walking.

None of the victims – aged from 29 to 85 - were robbed, or threatened and there was no sexual motive for the attack.

He will be sentenced later by Mr Justice Calvert-Smith.

Brian Altman, QC, prosecuting, had described the random attacks as “violence for violence sake.”

He told Woolwich Crown Court: “Over the course of four weeks in January last year, men were violently and indiscriminately attacked.

“All of these attacks took place within 2.5km of this defendant's address, in parks and woods that we say were very familiar to him.

“This allowed him to flee the scene of the crime undetected and find his way home. This was violence for violence sake.”

The court had heard that Koc was identified on CCTV near the attacks wearing a distinctive top, skull and crossbones gloves and white trainers.

His shoes were found to bear traces of his victims’ blood and DNA and he was also identified in ID parades by his surviving victims.

Mr Parsons lived on his own and regularly walked to Alexandra Park. He was known locally as a bit of an eccentric and a recluse.

Mr Altman showed the jury a four foot branch recovered from the crime scene covered with Mr Parsons' blood.

A police forensic scientist described the weapon as “thin at one end and thicker at the other, similar to a cave man's club.”

Mr Parsons was carrying £750 in cash in his pocket, but not a penny was taken by his attacker.

Mr Needell was attacked on his way home from researching his family tree at the Islington Family Records Centre.

He was discovered by dog walkers in the woods lying on his side, with blood streaming from his head.

Mr Needell had suffered severe facial fractures and a fractured skull.

The other victims were James Holding, Rashmid Meizongo, Norman Carey, and Kriangsakdi Chinhirun.
