‘Woman with the flower tattoo’ killed in Antwerp in 1992 is identified as Briton

Rita Roberts identified through appeal seeking information on 22 women killed in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany

A woman's body found 31 years ago in Antwerp has been identified as that of a British national, Rita Roberts, after police appealed to the public for help in identifying 22 women murdered in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany over the past 50 years.

Operation Identify Me was launched in May by the Belgian, Dutch and German police which, together with Interpol, the international policing organisation, released details of the cases that would normally only be available to law enforcement agencies.
