Rape victims of former Bournemouth cabbie John Worboys are suing the company that insured the London taxi he used to drug and attack them in.

Cathryn Pugh has more:

Warboys was jailed indefinately back in 2009 for attacking 12 women in London

In a landmark case at the High Court 8 of those victims are claiming the insurance company should pay them damages because the 54 year old used his black cab in London as a weapon.

If you look at the Road Traffic act 1988..it says insurers should pay out for injuries caused, or arising from use of a vehicle.

Warboys used to live and work in Bournemouth and police are still investigating the possibility he attacked dozens more women here.

The hearing in London continues.
