WATCH: Police hope '˜reconstruction video' will help investigation into attempted murder of Derbyshire woman

In the early hours of Sunday, November 26 a woman was walking along Queens Avenue in Ilkeston, when she was approached by a man. He grabbed hold of her, strangled her and then raped her.

The video, which features actors, shows the victim getting off The Two bus on Nottingham Road, walking along Manners Street and then onto Queens Avenue.

The attacker grabbed the woman on the corner of Middleton Avenue.

DCI Gareth Meadows, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are hoping that the release of the reconstruction may prompt anyone with information to come forward.

“You can see from the film how frightening it must have been for the victim and she has been very brave coming forward and working with us to produce this reconstruction of her movements on that morning in November.

“We would like to speak to anyone that has any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem. It may be that someone you know has been acting out of character, or that someone you know was out that morning when they should have been elsewhere. We have dedicated staff waiting to take your call.”
