A murderer who stabbed a gap-year student to death in a random street attack could have been stopped if police had launched a ‘thorough and timely’ investigation into a similar attack two weeks before, an investigation has found.
Gap-year student Kieran Crump-Raiswell, 18, was handing out his CV in Manchester city centre when he was knifed to death in broad daylight by Imran Hussain, 27, in January last year.
The assassin walked up to the teenager and stabbed him four times in the chest because he ‘simply wanted to see what it’s like to kill someone’.
But a probe by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found Hussain could have been stopped from committing the fatal attack, if officers had investigated a ‘trial-run’ that Hussain carried out twelve days earlier.
In that attack, the defendant ran up to another stranger in Nottingham and punched him, before driving off in his vehicle.
The victim made a note of Hussain’s vehicle registration number and reported the incident to police on January 4.
But Hussain was not tracked down by police – and was ’emboldened’ to carry out the second attack.
In its report, the IPCC said the officer who investigated the incident ‘did not pursue appropriate lines of inquiry’ – despite having the vehicle registration number and a description of the assailant.
The officer also failed to properly handle evidence, keep an adequate record of evidence within his pocket notebook, promptly create a crime report or keep it adequately updated.
IPCC commissioner Sarah Green said: ‘This was a shocking and unprovoked murder of a promising young student. My thoughts are with Kieran’s family and friends at this difficult time.
‘We will sadly never know whether a more prompt investigation might have deterred Imran Hussain from going on to commit the grave crime of murder, but it is clear that the officer did not investigate the initial assault quickly and thoroughly enough, despite being provided with clear lines of inquiry.
‘There are lessons for Nottinghamshire Police to learn from these events to improve the service they provide in future.’
Mr Crump-Raiswell had been accepted to study history at Sheffield Hallam University and had just returned from the US where he had been coaching football when the murder took place.
He was heading into Manchester to find a job when he was attacked in front of stunned witnesses.
Hussain was then seen by witnesses to be laughing and sniggering as he ran back to his car and drove to his student flat in Coventry. The teenager died later the same day in hospital.
