Fugitive rapist: Women urged not to walk alone as chilling footage at Manchester Airport released

Chilling new footage of a fugitive rapist has been released by police as they urged women not to walk the streets alone until he is captured.

CCTV footage at Manchester Airport train station shows wanted Malcolm Millman, 58, walking along the platform on Monday morning.

It was the last sighting of the convicted rapist - branded danger to women and children - who is believed to still be in the Manchester area.

Millman was convicted of rape in 1996 and sentenced to 12 years but has remained in a medium security mental health unit in Milton Keynes.

But he was able to abscond during a day trip to a monastery in Hemel Hampstead, on Saturday October 24th, and travelled north, first to Leeds, then Manchester .

A senior police officer has now warned women not to walk alone while Millman is at large.

Chief Superintendent Zoe Sheard of Greater Manchester Police urged: “In the past Malcolm Millman has committed violent attacks on young girls and women and for this reason we believe he may pose a serious risk to the public.

“It is possible that he may be in Greater Manchester and I would like to assure everybody that we are continuing to work alongside Thames Valley Police to do everything we can to find him.

“If you see this man, please do not approach him but contact the police immediately.”

Thames Valley Police say Millman could be violent and has previously threatened his victims with a weapon.

He was last seen at Manchester Airport Railway Station on Monday at around 12.30pm. He is not believed to have boarded a plane and he does not have a passport. CCTV images show him near escalators and walking along a platform.

He failed to return to Chadwick Lodge, a secure facility in Chadwick Drive, Eaglestone, Milton Keynes, whose care he was under.

Millman has withdrawn a large cash sum from cash points during the weekend and has been using public transport. He may also be booking into hotels or hostels.

Millman is white, of large build, bald with thinning brown hair on the sides, and brown eyes.

He was last seen wearing a brown jacket, purple jumper, grey tracksuit bottoms and blue and white trainers. He also uses a walking stick.

Millman has medical conditions including a heart condition and diabetes so he may be seeking medication.

Det Supt Chris Ward from Major Crime, at Thames Valley Police, said: “Millman was convicted of rape in 1996 and we believe he poses a potential risk, specifically to woman and girls.

“I want to urge everybody to remain vigilant. If you see this man, please do not approach him but contact the police immediately

“If any member of the public sees Millman, do not approach him, but call Thames Valley Police on 101 or 999.

Or if you have any information, no matter how small the detail about Millman’s whereabouts then please call police via 101.”

Millman is also known by the following names: Richard Simon Barber, Michael Geoffrey Newman, and Raymond Pilkington and has links to Kent, Warwickshire, London, Cleveland and North Wales.
