STREET killing victim Zara Aleena refused to use taxis because she felt it was safer to walk, a friend has revealed.

Louise De Souza said the aspiring lawyer was scared of getting into them.

Mrs. De Souza, 60, a neighbour who knew Zara, 35, from childhood, said: "Unless someone was sharing or she knew the driver, she wouldn't get in. I said, 'Don't walk late at night'. She said she was safer because the street lights were on.
