Overview

• Police first pursued the theory of an adult male or possible serial offender because of the severity and apparent sexualized nature of the injuries.
• Victim Katie Rackliff, 18, was attacked by a stranger after leaving a Camberley nightclub and suffered 32 stab wounds, including to her genitals, ribs and heart.
• In June 1994, Carr stabbed a classmate at Collingwood College at age 13, an attack that led to her detention and subsequent boasts about the earlier killing.
• Carr’s diaries described murder as a sexual thrill and included knowledge not released publicly, leading to her 1997 conviction at Winchester Crown Court and a life sentence with a 14‑year minimum term.
• Carr remains held at HMP Bronzefield and was refused permission to seek a judicial review after evidence she fantasised about killing another inmate, with officials continuing to deem her extremely dangerous.
