Non-contact sex offences must be punished more harshly because flashers and voyeurs can turn into rapists, the mother of murdered student Libby Squire has told Sky News.

Libby, 21, was abducted, raped and murdered while walking home from a club in Hull in 2019.

Her killer, Pawel Relowicz, had committed other sexual crimes in the city's student area.

Speaking to Sarah-Jane Mee, Lisa Squire said there was "clearly an escalation from the lower sort of crimes, right up until the weekend before he killed her, where he had escalated quite significantly".
