One said it was gone in the morning. A police dog handler had tracked from the woman’s house, across a farm paddock, to the exact location the van had been spotted. Muddy footprints were found inside and outside the woman’s home. While they never led to Bond, he didn’t stay under the radar for long. Every morning, Bond’s second victim, a 37-year-old woman, jogged her familiar loop through willow trees lining the Ashley River stopbank. She was unaware of a man crouched in the bushes, watching her through binoculars. Bond did this twice, hoping to see her go home and watch her undress. On the third occasion, on May 30, 1995 her route veered towards where he was hiding. Rather than be discovered, he decided to attack her. The burly wrestler leaped up, grabbed her and punched her five times in the face. She screamed as he dragged her 180m to his car, hands around her neck, telling her to be quiet. He pushed her into the car and started driving. Believing she was going to be raped, she desperately tried to get out but he restrained her. Bond stopped the car, removed her top, and used it to tie her hands behind her back. She tried to get away again but he caught her. He pushed her into the boot and drove off. The woman – who, like Bond’s first victim, has permanent name suppression – untied herself, managed to release the boot lock and threw herself out of the moving vehicle. Bloodied and bruised from the attack and the fall from the speeding car, she ran across a paddock to a house to get help. Bond drove on, unaware of her escape. Police caught up with him weeks later. He admitted attacking the woman with the intention of raping her. He was jailed for nine years in July 1995. After his release from jail, it appears Bond went straight. He had a stable partner and child. ‘He held the knife against her throat, bound her arms behind her back . . . and put a pillowcase over her head’ Since 2008, he had been a highly-valued site foreman at a Canterbury construction company. Some friends and workmates knew about his conviction for the 1995 abduction. But nobody knew his dark secret – until he had too much to drink at a work night out. December 6, 2014, had been a good night. Bond and his workmates had watched a comrade fight at a charity boxing event in Hornby. Afterwards, they kept drinking at Temps Bar & Casino. They’d piled into a nearby car park where the boss was phoning taxis to take them all home. While they were waiting, Bond and a workmate started playfighting. It attracted the attention of passing police. Concerned about the group’s rowdy behaviour, they suggested the men move on. Bond and some of his mates took exception to what they viewed as being unreasonableness by police. Officers were threatened, taunted and insulted. Bond told police, “You’re f****** nothing,” “I’m going to smash you” and “I am going to kill you pig.” Two of Bond’s workmates were arrested. Bond, described as being “very intoxicated and very hostile,” lunged at an officer. During the ensuing struggle, the pair smashed through a window of the Hornby Law Centre. As both men lay on the ground, Bond then moved his left foot in a stomping action to hit the constable on the head. A judge would later find, beyond reasonable doubt, that Bond behaved in a disorderly manner, resisted arrest, and assaulted a police officer in the execution of his duty. Given he was arrested on summary offence matters, legislation introduced in 2012 meant police could take a DNA sample from Bond. It was run through the vast National DNA Profile Databank and matched samples held at Environmental Science and Research (ESR) that were taken in 1994. His past finally caught up with him. When he was interviewed by police in February last year, Bond said it was all “bulls***” and refused to comment further. On the morning his trial was due to start at the High Court in Christchurch on May 2, Bond entered guilty pleas. Friends and workmates had been in court to support a friend they thought had been wrongly charged. They were stunned when Bond suddenly admitted to being a predatory rapist. “It was total shock. He’d always said it was lies . . . and we all believed him. He deserves everything coming to him,” one former friend said. - NZ Herald SWIMMING POOL CHLORINE SALE 50% OFF UP TO 20 PACK Was $78.60 NOW $40 Save $38.60 HURRY!
