Chilling moment killer dumps woman’s clothes after brutally raping her and leaving her for dead in wheelie bin
CHILLING footage shows a killer dumping a woman’s clothes after he brutally raped her and stuffed her unconscious into a wheelie bin.
Sergiu Boianjiu, 39, came to the UK after being released early from a 14-year sentence for murdering his girlfriend in Moldova in 2002.
Years later, he followed a woman in her 20s, whom he did not know, as she left a nightclub in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, on February 6.
He then attacked her and subjected her to a terrifying 40-minute ordeal before stamping on her head and dumping her in a bin.
She was left for dead in an alleyway for several hours in the cold and rain before passers-by eventually found her and called for help.
The woman was taken to hospital in a critical condition with severe head injuries and a dangerously low body temperature.

She was later discharged and return home to continue with her recovery.
Boianjiu was found guilty of attempted murder, one count of rape and one count of attempted rape at Northampton Crown Court.
He was yesterday jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum of 26 years.
His Honour Judge David Herbert KC, said: “Your behaviour towards women both inside and outside the club was predatory.

“You are an extremely dangerous man.
“You believed you had successfully killed this woman and you left the scene, leaving her for dead.
“The effect on her both physically and mentally has been profound.”
Footage released by Northamptonshire Police shows Boianjiu before the attack prowling a nightclub and harassing numerous woman.
Security staff kicked him out of the venue after a string of complaints from revellers, but he waited outside.
Minutes later, he followed his victim as she walked home and dragged her into an alleyway where he raped her.
Detective Chief Inspector Liz Wilcox, said: “I welcome the lengthy sentence handed out to Sergiu Boianjiu as it means that he is no longer able to harm anyone else.
“This case has been very traumatic for the young woman involved and I hope today’s sentencing provides her with some closure.
“She has shown exceptional courage throughout our investigation and I hope that, with the help of her great support network, she will be able to continue to move forward.
“Sergiu Boianjiu presents an extraordinary danger to women.

“In the CCTV footage from the nightclub before the attack we can see him sexually assaulting a number of them through inappropriate touching before he went on that night to commit rape and attempted murder.
“Though his behaviour in the nightclub may be considered ‘low-level’ by some, it demonstrates a mindset that needs to be challenged and everyone should be clear that this is not only unacceptable but criminal conduct.”
