LONDON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Police are investigating whether a serial hammer killer is targeting women in London after a French woman was bludgeoned to death in circumstances similar to other attacks.
Emilie Delagrange, 22, was found with a serious head injury lying near a cricket pitch in the southwest suburb of Twickenham on Thursday night. She died shortly afterwards.
The attack bore similarities to three other assaults in the neighbourhood in the past two years, all of which left female victims with severe head injuries.
A London police spokeswoman said the Delagrange investigation was being helped by officers from a team that probed the nearby murder of student Marsha McDonnell last year.
"The possibility that this was linked to other attacks is an important line of inquiry, but we are keeping an open mind," she said.

Two comments:
1) I think they should be looking for a guy named Maxwell.
2) You can try to ban handguns, but good luck banning violence.

Never take a hammer to a gunfight, but, if you know nobody can have a gun, then take whatever you want.
An unarmed society is a defensless society.

Obviously they need to be trained in something other than how to defend themselves against fresh fruit....and pointed sticks!

Good thing no one's shot this guy after he's tried an attack. They'd get a huge prison sentence if they did.

My understanding is that knives and pepper spray (I guess all defensive weapons?) are banned in jolly olde England...

Maybe if the victims just stopped and dialoged with the psycho criminals, violence would stop and they would finally wrap their arms around each other in peace and harmony.
