Murder of Hannah Foster
Hannah Foster (31 August 1985 – 14 March 2003) was a 17-year-old British student who was kidnapped, raped and murdered after a night out in Southampton in March 2003. Foster was murdered by an Indian immigrant named Maninder Pal Singh Kohli. Her body was found in nearby West End, two days after she disappeared in Southampton.
==Murder==
Hannah Foster was a promising A-Level student from Southampton, who had been preparing to study medicine at university. On 14 March 2003, she went out in Southampton with a friend for a few drinks. Her friend got the bus home, while Hannah decided to walk the half-mile to her home in Hampshire. Indian native, sandwich delivery man Maninder Pal Singh Kohli, was cruising the area in his white van. He snatched Hannah as she walked. From his van, Foster secretly made a call to emergency services in the hope they would realise she was in trouble. On the 999 tape, Foster can be heard speaking to a man with an Asian accent. The tape was played during the later trial at Winchester Crown Court on Wednesday 15 October 2008. Foster's body was found in bushes in a country lane just outside Southampton two days later. A post-mortem examination revealed she had been raped and strangled.
Kohli fled to India shortly after Foster's body was found. He was soon identified by investigators as a prime suspect in the case. After Indian police failed to apprehend Kohli, Foster's parents personally went to India and made a public appeal for information of his whereabouts. During their 10-day visit, Foster's parents held a series of press conferences as well as opening a telephone "hotline". Their visit soon became a subject of high interest in the Indian press, and Kohli was arrested five days after their arrival. Hampshire police announced a reward of INR 5,000,000 to anyone whose clues led to the arrest of Kohli. Kohli's wife in England, and his brother, a policeman in India, denied his involvement in the murder.
The key to the arrest of Kohli was information from taxi driver Jason Lepcha, hired by Kohli partly because of his understanding of English. Lepcha received a reward of INR 367,000.〔("School named after Hannah in Darjeeling" ) ''The Times of India'' 30 September 2007〕 He used all this money to establish a school in Hannah's name.〔〔("A wonderful tribute in India to Hannah Foster" ) ''Southern Daily Echo'' 27 November 2008〕 When visiting Darjeeling in 2006, Hannah's parents unwittingly hired Lepcha as their driver, and heard his story.〔("In the beginning – Christine and Roger's story" )〕 On their return to England, they worked with others to set up a registered charity in memory of Hannah which supports Lepcha's school.〔("The Hannah Memorial Academy" )〕
