Buchanan-Dunne talks to reporter Jo Sword outside court

After sentencing, Linda's daughter Helene Buchanan-Dunne, 39,
said: "My mum has had to wait 18 months to have some kind of
conclusion to this. We could have been going to a funeral it was
that serious."

Det Ch Insp Gareth Williams, investigating officer from British
Transport Police (BTP), said: "This was an appalling act of
violence on a woman who was simply intending to catch an early
morning commuter train to London."

Rapisca, a carpenter, was originally refused asylum in the UK
but then became a naturalised British citizen after Romania's entry
into the European Union.
