Another way is, he formulates a way to lure and get his victim near to his vehicle where he had pre-positioned a weapon, usually a crowbar. Then at the right time he will force the victim on his vehicle, handcuffed his victim then look for a secluded location to complete his killing and again performs sexual acts.
