POLICE are hunting a rapist they say could strike again after a 16-year-old girl was raped on a footpath.

The victim was walking her dog along a footpath in the Crewe Toll area of Edinburgh when she was grabbed from behind and forced off the path.

Her attacker then raped her before she managed to escape and find help.

The vicious attack happened at around 10pm on Wednesday night as the girl was walking along a footpath towards the red bridge on Ferry Road in Edinburgh.

Vile child rapist is banned from the roads

By Michael MacLeod

AN evil child rapist twice slipped through cops’ fingers during a near decade-long reign of abuse when he was caught drink driving.

Vile Mutasim Al Mutasim, 35, was caught drunk behind the wheel of his car twice in the midst of horror attacks on primary school children.

He was stopped first in September 2006 at the capital’s Duddingston Road West and later again January 2007 at Hay Avenue, where cops found him well over three times the drink-drive limit.

But police said last night they had no way of knowing he and his brother, Eldirdeery, 24, were sexually abusing girls as young as five.

It wasn’t until April 2008 that detectives snared the Sudanese dish-washer for horrific child sex offences which were described by one judge as “beyond the understanding of a caring and civilised society”.

Polish rapist has ‘Evil Soul’ says Edinburgh woman

By Shaun Milne

A WOMAN who fears she came face to face with Polish sex attacker Tomasz Kryczyk while his victim was still being raped described him as “evil” yesterday – and spoke of her regret at not calling police when she had the chance.

The 39-year-old from Dalry in Edinburgh – who does not want to be identified – said she stumbled across the sadist as he scrambled up an embankment and started adjusting his clothing.

It was thought his co-accused – Michal Marchlewski – may still have been raping their 24-year-old Australian victim during an eight hour ordeal.

Sinister

Today the woman told how she will always regret failing to call police despite admitting being spooked by their “sinister” behaviour.

And while Kryczyk hanged himself in prison and Marchlewski faces life in jail, she knows the life of their victim has been ruined forever.

She said: “They say the eyes are a way to see to the soul and his were evil.”
