I'm happy I was able to protect others - Babes in Wood survivor

Rachael Watts was just seven years old when she was brutally attacked by murderer Russell Bishop.

Now she tells her story in Sky documentary, The Girl Who Caught a Killer.

On October 9, 1986, two nine-year-old girls were murdered in a nature reserve near Brighton. Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway were best friends who lived near each other, and they were murdered, it was found some 30 years later, by then-20-year-old local roofer Russell Bishop.

For years after he committed the murders of Nicola and Karen, Bishop walked free after being acquitted on trial. Some three years after he was acquitted on both rape and murder charges, he committed a similar attack on a seven-year-old girl in Brighton - Rachael Watts - but the little girl survived to tell the tale.

Now, in candid and harrowing Sky documentary The Girl Who Caught A Killer, Watts breaks her 30-year silence to share her story of how she was abducted, sexually abused and almost killed, and of how she was able to identify her attacker in a police line-up, leading to his conviction.
