Zou Zhenhao, convicted of 10 attacks in Britain and China, may have carried out up to 50 more and police want women to come forward
The life jail term imposed last week on a PhD student who preyed on Chinese women in London and on the mainland offers, as one detective suggested, a small measure of comfort to his traumatised victims.
But the full extent of Zou Zhenhao’s crimes have still not been uncovered. The investigation by British police will – and must – continue.
Zou, 28, who studied at University College London, was convicted of raping 10 women, three in Britain and seven in China, between 2021 and 2023.
But the Metropolitan Police believe he may have attacked as many as 50 more. They appealed for others to come forward after his trial in March. Since then, 24 women have emerged, including some who live in China.
