In today's edition of Le Figaro magazine, Sid Ahmed Rezala is said to have confessed to how he killed three women while high on drink and drugs. M Rezala, a drifter who was allegedly part of a gang that robbed train passengers, said that he saw a flash and felt "ordered" to kill Ms Peake 20. He met her at the station in Limoges, central France, where she was studying at the law faculty, on October 13 last year. "She was very gentle. We got on well at Limoges station. It was 3am. She was going to Paris and planned to go on to England to see her bloke. She wanted to call him. She asked to use my mobile phone. I lent it to her. "I have always helped other people. She telephoned her bloke and she took a drag on my joint. I saw that flash again." M Rezala does not describe what happened next. An hour into the journey, Ms Peake was pushed from the night train to Paris, possibly after a sexual assault. Her battered and partially clothed body was found 14 hours later by the trackside north of Limoges. M Rezala added: "If anyone had done that to someone from my family, I would have killed the guilty person, I would have ripped his heart out and I would have eaten it. I have tried several times to commit suicide. I slashed my veins, tried my jugular, and to hang myself. It didn't work." M Rezala, an Algerian-born drifter with a string of convictions in France, including one for rape, said that during his spree: "I was off my head. I was drinking two litres of Jack Daniel's a day, mixed with dope and I also was also taking acid tablets." French police said that M Rezala had made similar comments in off-the-record conversations with them in the Lisbon jail where he is detained while the Portuguese courts rule on an extradition request from Paris. Jean-Paul Thibault, the lawyer representing Ms Peake's parents, Brian and Annie Peake, from Barlaston in Staffordshire, expressed fury at the article for which he said M Rezala had received payment. "He is a megalomaniac and a money-grabber," said M Thibault. Mr and Mrs Peake's MP, Bill Cash, said the report meant it was now imperative for M Rezala to be extradited to France. Mr Cash, the Tory MP for Stone, has spoken with the Prime Minister, Home Secretary and politicians in Portugal and Spain to try to ensure that M Rezala faces trial in France. He added: "If this is a confession, that makes it more emphatically necessary that he should be extradited but we all recognise it should be up to the courts. I've pushed every button I can. We will leave no stone unturned to get this alleged murderer convicted." M Rezala also was quoted on Emilie Bazin, 20, a student stabbed to death in Amiens, northern France, last year. He said: "Thirty seconds beforehand I didn't know that I was going to kill her. It was a flash. You see her dead as though it was an order that you get as an image and which you execute." M Rezala said he killed her after she had left her ex-boyfriend. "I saw him crying over her and I felt for him. I killed her to revenge her bloke. It was disgusting to make a bloke suffer like that." Of his third alleged victim, Corinne Caillaux, 36, who was stabbed to death in another late night train, he said: "It was completely gratuitous, pure madness. I followed her into the toilets to chat her up to get her bag. "I just wanted to steal from her. She was with her dog. I don't know what came over me. There was a flash. You don't see anything. You are driven onwards. "When you do that, it's not you. You don't control anything. You don't even realise what's happening when you see the blood." Gilbert Collard, the lawyer for Mme Caillaux's family, said it was a "shocking" failure of the Portuguese authorities to stop the "confession". "We now know there are no prison guards," he said. M Rezala's lawyers sought an injunction to stop publication of the magazine. The Interior Minister, Jean-Pierre Chev�nement said he doubted its authenticity. Police said the journalist from Le Figaro had never met Rezala but had either spoken to him on the telephone or passed questions though another inmate. "Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
