Vernon Barrick had everything he needed. His reliable Winchester Wildcat with Vortex riflescope, his new Swarovski 15x50 binoculars and a thermos of coffee to keep him awake while he waited.

Perched by the window, he thought of his last target - a seemingly innocent mother of three. “They are never innocent,” he reassured himself.

Movement on the street below prompted him to reach for the binoculars. As he pressed them against his face the right lens clicked, releasing a steel spike straight through to Barrick’s optic nerves.

Writhing on the ground in agony, he set his mind on a new target.
