9/13 London, UK Former Security Guard Murders Woman, then Self

Michael Pech, 30, murdered Clare Bernal, 22, at her beauty county at Harvey Nichols, an exclusive department store. He had been a security guard there but was fired for harassing her after their brief dating relationship. Just before 7.45 pm, in breach of a court order preventing contact with his former girlfriend, Pech calmly walked into the store and began talking to Bernal across the counter. He then went behind the counter and shot her, killing her and then himself. In the following week Pech was due to be sentenced for harassing Ms Bernal and could have faced up to six months in jail. He had previous stated “If I can’t have you nobody will.”
