The sister of a woman who was brutally attacked and killed expressed that the moment she had to inform the victim’s son of his mother’s death will forever haunt her. Alexandra Whyte, in a courageous statement before the sentencing, described the difficulty of explaining the tragic event to Rhiannon Whyte’s young son. She criticized the assailant, Deng Chol Majek, for his lack of remorse and accountability for the vicious attack that led to Rhiannon’s fatal brain stem injury.
Alexandra depicted Rhiannon as a smart, kind, and hardworking individual who valiantly fought for her life during the savage assault. She condemned Majek’s inhuman actions and questioned his motives for stalking and attacking Rhiannon, labeling his behavior as demonic. The attack occurred after Majek unnervingly stared at female hotel staff members before pursuing Rhiannon, resulting in a fatal outcome despite her brave efforts.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Attwell highlighted the unfair advantage Majek had over Rhiannon due to his significant height difference. Majek had followed Rhiannon to the station where he launched the brutal attack, leaving her severely injured. Despite the swift response from emergency services, Rhiannon succumbed to her injuries in the hospital several days later.
Following the attack, Majek was captured on CCTV attempting to conceal evidence and behaving as though nothing had occurred, even engaging in social activities near the crime scene. Witnesses noted his unusual demeanor before and after the attack, indicating a stark contrast in his behavior that raised suspicions.
