Woman died of heart attack after being repeatedly raped by stranger on park bench, court hears | UK News

A woman died from a heart attack after she was raped by a stranger while unconscious on a park bench, a court has been told.

Warning: This article contains details readers may find distressing

Natalie Shotter, 37, had been on a night out before she was sexually assaulted and killed on a park bench in Southall Park, west London, jurors heard.

Mohamed Iidow, 35, is on trial accused of rape and manslaughter. He has denied both charges.

Ms Shotter died of a heart attack caused by Iidow raping her “again and again”, prosecutor Alison Morgan KC told jurors.

The court was shown CCTV footage of Ms Shotter sitting on a bench with a different man when, the prosecution says, Iidow walked past and looked at them.

He then left the park and drove away, before returning later, jurors heard.

The prosecutor said Ms Shotter was lying down and showing “no clear movement” for around 30 minutes before the defendant approached her “nonchalantly”.

During the alleged attack, the victim was “deeply unconscious”, she said.

Ms Morgan continued: “What was the defendant doing there, what was he seeking to do, walking up and down the paths in the middle of the night and thinking about what his objectives must have been – seeking out a vulnerable woman to rape.”

Jurors were shown CCTV which, the prosecution said, showed the defendant moving Ms Shotter’s body into different positions as he raped her.

Ms Morgan told jurors: “She was not dead at the time when the defendant was orally raping her, it will be a matter for you to consider – that this defendant went to the park for a reason.

“He would not have sought to have sex with a dead body for over 15 minutes, he was having sex with someone he knew was alive but was deeply unconscious and therefore he was raping her.”

Ms Shotter’s body was found in Southall Park by a passer-by in the early morning of July 17 2021, the court previously heard.

Swabs taken from Ms Shotter’s mouth area matched DNA samples taken from the defendant, the court heard.

The trial has been adjourned until Monday.

Chris Marriott: More than £30k raised for family of Good Samaritan who died while helping stranger | UK News

More than £30,000 has been raised for the family of a Good Samaritan who died after being hit by a car while trying to help a stranger.

Father-of-two Chris Marriott, 46, died on Wednesday after he went to the aid of a woman who was unconscious in the street during a disturbance in the Burngreave area of Sheffield.

As he tended to the woman, a car hit the crowd, leaving several people injured.

Now a GoFundMe appeal to financially support Mr Marriott’s family has raised £31,610 as of 6.30pm on Sunday.

In a message posted on the fundraising page, his family said they were “overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support being shown for Chris, and appreciate every comment and donation”.

“Chris would be amazed (and no doubt embarrassed) at the attention his actions have generated, but would also loved to have seen how friends, neighbours and complete strangers have come together to show support for his family and help financially. Thank you so much.”

Mr Marriott, who has been described as a Good Samaritan by police, worked for a debt counselling charity and was a leading member of his church, helping set up and run a food bank in Sheffield.

The organisers of the fundraiser said Mr Marriott was “a man who loved people”.

“His kindness, work ethic, generosity and willingness to walk people through the intricacies of setting up IT were part and parcel of what made him who he was and therefore much loved and irreplaceable.

“He died whilst administering first aid to a stranger putting their needs before his own safety.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and their two boys at this so so difficult time and we would like to remove any financial concerns they may have.”
