Chilling footage shows a mother-of-six walking her dog down a quiet country lane oblivious to her killer prowling behind.

Anita Rose, 57, was enjoying a stroll near her home in Brantham, Suffolk when she was randomly attacked by Roy Barclay, 56, an occult-obsessed drifter who had been living off-grid to avoid being recalled to prison.

Video shows Barclay appearing to change direction and follow Ms Rose along a path as she walked her springer spaniel, Bruce, on the morning of July 24 last year.

Moments later he rushed the grandmother before punching, kicking and stamping on her during a 'vicious and brutal assault'.

She was found by passers-by on a footpath beside a sewage works but died four days later.
