John Penfield Middlesex 1995

Ian Kay was imprisoned in 1986 for a serious attack on a shop worker and after serving eight years he was given leave to kill again. His victim was 21 year old John Penfold a staff member at Woolworths in Teddington Middlesex. Kay attempted to hold up the till where Mr Penfold was working. Bravely Mr Penfold fought his attacker but was fatally stabbed. Kay, who took two 50p pieces off the top of the till said "He was a have a go hero and got what he deserved."

Today Tesco has replaced the Woolworth branch where John Penfold was murdered.

Ian Kay again hit the news for an attack on Peter Sutcliffe in Broadmoor. He was serving a 22 year sentence at the time.
