Serial Killers
Helen Rusher had been in a relationship with Mark Weston, he was the father of her 7-year-old child. But she ended the relationship due to his violence.

12th August 1995, Vikki Thompson was attacked while walking her dog near her home in Ascott-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire. 
She was struck repeatedly over the head with heavy objects, which caused skull fractures and a severe brain injury; she died six days later from her injuries.

1996, Weston was tried, but found not guilty by a jury, he was acquitted and released.

2003, after the New Criminal Justice act was introduced it was possible for a person to stand trial for the same crime for a second time, this had previously not been possible under  'Double Jeopardy' rules. Weston was the first person in the UK to face the new rules.
