       The predator had stopped on the Euston Road in the early hours of May 8, 2017, and offered to give her a lift home after a night out.

       She thought she was getting into a cab, but Mabwa began driving the hire car in the opposite direction to her home address.

       The horrified passenger tried several times to get out of the car, but Mabwa stopped her from doing so.

       She messaged her boyfriend and a pal during the journey and sent her location so they could find her.

       VICTIM'S SCREAMS

       Callous Mabwa, from Ealing, West London, pulled the car into an unlit car park and his victim began to scream.

       A member of the public heard her cries and called police as she struggled before managing to escape from the car.
