Killer ‘obsessed’ with neighbour bit off elements of her face and beat her to dying

An evil killer who sexually assaulted his neighbour earlier than biting off elements of her face and beating her to dying in her own residence has been jailed for all times.

Rawden Ibbitson, 32, spent greater than an hour viciously attacking and strangling his neighbour Jennifer Andrews, 35, who the courtroom heard he had turn out to be “obsessed” with. Leeds Crown Court heard how he inflicted greater than 90 accidents, together with a number of fractures, a bleed to the mind and inner accidents as he viciously attacked the girl on June 6 final 12 months.

He was jailed for no less than 29 years earlier this month, however Jennifer can now be named after reporting restrictions imposed by the courtroom have been lifted, stories the Mirror.

In a quick assertion launched by police on the time of her dying, Jennifer’s heartbroken household mentioned: “Jenni was such a beautiful and friendly person who was very much loved by us all, she was an excellent mother.

“We are completely heartbroken and ask that folks respect our privateness at what continues to be a really troublesome time for ourselves and all those that knew and liked Jenni.”

Ibbitson, who lived opposite Jennifer, bombarded her with text messages as he wanted a relationship with her, the court was told.

She confided in friends, telling them she was frightened of him and told a friend “she was residing in a nightmare”.

He had previously threatened to pull her teeth out with pliers, and warned her to “sleep with one eye open”.

Her body was discovered shortly before midnight on June 6 last year, and was “just about unrecognisable”, the court heard.

She was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead at 12.45am. She died from multiple blunt force trauma and suffered extensive abrasions to her head, neck and body, a fractured jaw and bruising to her head with a bleed to the brain.

There were 13 bite marks on her face, breasts, abdomen, back, forearms and thigh, a fractured rib, bleeding around her heart, bleeding in her stomach and internal injuries, the court heard.

Ibbitson admitted her murder and assault by penetration at an earlier hearing and has now been jailed. He had previously been diagnosed with mixed personality disorder, made worse by his use of alcohol and drugs.

Judge Tom Bayliss KC described his actions as demonstrating “unspeakable cruelty”.

He said: “The stage of sustained violence and the character and extent of the accidents inflicted upon your sufferer drive the conclusion that, even when you could not have had such an intention when this assault started, you have to have shaped an intention to kill because the assault progressed.”
