Bogus cab driver jailed for rape


A SEXUAL predator who posed as a minicab driver to lure lone women into his car has been jailed for 18 years.

Wood Green Crown Court heard that Thierry Kindundu, 30, a Congolese national living in High Street, Enfield, drove around the streets of north London looking for women to attack.

On August 29, 2011, Kindundu approached a 20-year-old woman who was alone waiting at a bus stop in Tottenham High Road. He offered the woman a lift. Thinking he was a cab driver, the woman refused saying she had no money but Kindundu persisted, offering to drive her for free.

He drove the woman to Chestnuts Park in Hackney, where he raped her.

Residents near to the park heard the incident and came to the victim's aid while Kindundu made off in his Citroen Picasso.

The second incident occurred in Edmonton on December 16, 2012. The 32-year-old victim had been out with a friend and was in Fore Street when Kindundu pulled up in a car and offered them a lift. Both women got into the car but he drove off in the wrong direction. The women became concerned and demanded Kindundu let them out. He stopped and one woman managed to get out but Kindundu drove off before the second woman could join her friend.

Police were called and officers traced Kindundu and his victim a short distance away. During this time Kindundu has sexually assaulted and attempted to rape his victim.

Detective Constable Suzie Chantry of the Met's Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse (SOECA) Command led the investigation.

She said: "I would like to praise the courage of the two victims who have put their trust in the police to obtain justice for them. I hope the fact that Kindundu has been jailed will go some way to achieving closure for them.

"Kindundu is a predatory sexual offender who stalked the streets of north London late at night, looking for woman to attack."

Kindundu was jailed on Friday after being convicted or rape, attempted rape and sexual assault on January 23.
