Fear Meagher attacker struck before

A Melbourne woman has claimed she was attacked by a man closely resembling the man seen talking to missing Irishwoman Jill Meagher in CCTV footage of her last known movements.

In footage of the 29-year-old, captured on a bridal shop’s CCTV in the early hours of Saturday morning and made public by Melbourne police yesterday, Ms Meagher is seen talking to a man on a road between the bar where she had been drinking with friends and the home she shares with her husband close by.
