Young mother, 20, who killed herself days after being kidnapped and raped by fake taxi

                                            
A young mother who committed suicide days after she was raped has helped to convict her attacker from beyond the grave.

Masood Mansouri posed as a taxi driver before abducting and raping Ceri Linden as she made her way home from a night out in Broughton, Cheshire last summer.

Mother-of-one Ms Linden, 20, later took a fatal overdose of tablets which her mother has said was a direct result of the ordeal she had been put through at Mansouri's hands.

Mansouri was found guilty of rape, kidnap and sexual assault yesterday after an emotional police video interview Ms Linden recorded before her death was played to jurors.

College student Ms Linden, from Colwyn Bay, North Wales, was trying to flag down a cab on the night of August 10 last year when she was kidnapped.

She got into a car mistakenly assuming it was a private hire vehicle only for Mansouri, 33, to drive her back to his house and rape her.

                
Mansouri's defence claimed the victim may have 'made up' the rape after regretting having sex.
