It’s likely that what the ever-clueless Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, means by “burka” is actually a niqab, as the latter are far more common in Britain and are often referred to as burkas by people who don’t know one from the other. In any case, the perpetrator’s face was covered, which will make his or her arrest almost certainly impossible, unless she got blood on her clothing and it was spotted by someone. This case is a crisp illustration of why such clothing should be banned in Western countries: it makes it far too easy to commit crimes and get away with them.
