'My daughter was raped unconscious on a park bench by a despicable, deviant monster'

Dr Cas Shotter Weetman spoke out after Natalie, a mum of three, was repeatedly raped in Southall, west London, by Mohamed lidow who now faces lengthy time behind bars

A mother has shared her heartbreak as her daughter died after she was repeatedly raped while unconscious on a park bench.

Dr Cas Shotter Weetman told how she will never speak the name of the "despicable, deviant monster" who killed 37-year-old Natalie. Mohamed lidow, 35, has now been jailed after the Old Bailey heard grim details of the "disturbing and shocking" attack.

Dr Shotter Weetman faced the "absolutely unbearable" ordeal of sitting through the convicted sex offender's month-long trial at the Old Bailey, during which relatives and jurors were left in tears after harrowing CCTV footage of the attack was played in court.

lidow repeatedly changed his story and claimed Natalie had consented to sex in exchange for money before his lies were rejected by a jury. The sex fiend will be sentenced in December after jurors returned a guilty verdict.

Dr Shotter Weetman, who works as a cardiology practitioner, said: "We got the justice that Nat deserved. But he had no remorse whatsoever. I never want to speak his name. I will refer to him as the 'despicable deviant monster' because that's what he is... I'll never say his name… but need to say her name and talk about Nat and what she meant to people. That should be the legacy."

Mum-of-three Natalie, from Heston, west London, had been battling post-natal depression after the birth of her third child, a daughter who was aged just 21 months at the time of the attack.

The young woman had enjoyed a night out before going to Southall Park in west London with a friend on July 16, 2021. CCTV images showed lidow circled the pair, walking past on multiple occasions, after he found them sitting on the bench as he skulked through the park. The sex offender moved in and went on to carry out the horrific attack after he later discovered Natalie passed out and alone. Natalie's body was discovered in the early hours the following morning and she was later found to have suffered a cardiac arrest.

Speaking to Mail Online, Dr Shotter Weetman said: "Nat doesn't have a voice. I'm her voice. I'm not stopping my fight for justice. It's a long-term mission. If Nat knew what I was doing I know she would be right there saying: 'Thanks, Mum'."

As a youngster, Natalie was a talented performer and had dreams of going into acting. She attended the famous BRIT School in south London but, in the end, Natalie decided to dedicate her life to others and went into the health profession where she was working as an ultrasound clinical administrator for the NHS at the time of the tragedy.

Her mum said: "Nat was an absolute beautiful soul - bright, compassionate, kind. She was a fabulous mum - her boys and her little girl adored her. She had a wonderful heart and was loved by all, now cruelly taken away from her children, family, friends, and colleagues... She hated anything to do with prejudice and disliked anyone being unfair to others."

Dr Shotter Weetman told how on the night of the tragedy she had to drive up north to Yorkshire to care for her elderly father who was dying.

lidow denied rape and manslaughter but declined to give evidence during the trial. When interviewed by police he initially claimed that the sex was consensual but later changed his story, suggesting that she was already dead when he raped her. He will be sentenced on December 13.
