With hindsight was Jo nieve in allowing Tabak, amost a complete stranger to enter her flat and will it send a warning to vulnerable people of the opposite sex?

They are fearless, though why youngsters are out on the streets in the early mornings is quite beyond my comprehension. Though are they any safer on the streets during daylight hours? Those wee girls that Robert Black abducted and killed weren't they all taken in the day time? How many more of his victims are there?
I was having my windscreen replaced the other day and had to have it done under a local overpass because it was raining. The guy form Autoglass was a local lad and he told me that a week earlier he had been there doing a job. He said that a car pulled up a young girl maybe 14/15 and 3 blokes in it. She got out and asked him for a fag. He gave her one and she then offered him oral sex for £10. He said he was happily married with kids and was not interested, she returned to the car spoke to the men, and then said he could have full sex with her, same price but he would have to be quick. He turned her down again, but said it was quite disturbing and scary as he was there on his own and the men could have done anything. Fortunately they just drove off. There are some really sick people out there. Having 2 teenage daughters (14 and 15) hearing this story really scared the C@£$ out of me. My eldest wants to go to college and then Uni as soon as she can, its going to be very worrying for me and her Mum when she does.
Leaving aside the "ladies of the night" for a minute (who usually have a pimp or two lurking around the corner for protection) and returning to Tabak - I've no doubt he tricked Jo into letting him into her flat. We only have his version of the evening's events and he's bound to make up a story.
I imagine Tabak realised she was alone and encouraged her to open the door with a reasonably neighbourly type question. Once the door was open he would be inside the flat with no evidence of forced entry; but there's nothing to say the situation wasn't forced from that point onwards except his story.

I barely know my nextdoor neighbour, in fact I can't even think what his name is at the moment but I let him in to help me install a washing line in the garden earlier this year. He did not attempt to strangle me to death.
I started going out in town when I was about 16 and would think nothing of getting plastered and walking the whole way accross town drunk and on my own instead of forking out for a cab (chances are I had blown all my money anyway). I probably wouldn't do that now as I like to think I'm a little more sensible but when you're young you think you're indestructable.
Of course you have to take sensible precautions but you can't spend your life thinking every stranger is planning on how to murder you.

What EvianBaby said. Its important to retain a sense of proportion, amongst all the outrage and revulsion.
The fact that people feel confident enough to stagger around the streets in the small hours says more about peoples own idea of immortality and the fact that generally people feel safe in our society.
It also says a lot about how insular we have become as a society. Compared to life just a few decades ago, we have become very inward looking with very few actively seeking community bonds.I have lived in the same cul-de-sac for around 10 years now, and in all that time, of the 15 or so households around me, I barely know maybe 3.....

Tabak was her neighbour as already said, but I don't know how long they had been neighbours.
But if it had been quite a time then they must have been on talking terms, it was Christmas time and Tabak's girlfriend was absent, and Jo's boyfriend was also absent, so maybe she did invite him in for a neighbourly Christmas drink.
It is a shocking sad case, but I can't understand why this particular murder has attracted so much media attention, after all murders are so common place these days unfortunately.
The police however are continuing with their enquiries into Tabak's background, both in the UK and also Holland, who knows he may be found out to be yet another vicious serial killer.
