One of Merseyside Police's largest manhunts happened in the summer of 1990
For around 15 dark months, every time a woman in Liverpool went out alone she became a potential target of one of Merseyside's most prolific sexual predators.
As the attacks continued and the evidence pointed to the same offender, trapping the serial rapist become the top priority for Merseyside Police's Serious Crime Squad. "The gentleman saw he had a pair of women's underwear in the back of his cab, and Manssuer made some excuse that he had picked up a woman who could not afford the fare so he had his evil way with her instead.
"We had to launch Operation Hackney, and it really was a big operation, I distinctly remember, and because my brother-in-law was a taxi driver, I used to hear from him how the taxi drivers were only too happy to come in and help clear it up. The rapes had begun to generate publicity when detectives told reporters on the crime beat that they suspected one or two taxi drivers were responsible for the vicious attacks.
Manssuer told detectives he had a licence to drive cabs in Knowsley, but did not mention he had also held a licence with Liverpool City Council for years. The ECHO reported how officers planned the arrest of Manssuer on rape charges carefully, with officers donning protective clothing. In the end Manssuer, who lived with his wife and young son, came quietly.
