Double killer gets third life sentence for sexually abusing boy

Mr Kite you fall to be sentenced for a number of sexual offenses relating to the complainant in this case I will refer to him as a your behavior took place between 1989 to 1994. you befriended him and invited him into your home at that time he had no reason to anticipate what happened to him he was only 9 or 10 at this time the behavior started with you inviting him into your address and he described her in the trial how once inside your mood changed you attacked him punching him in the stomach winding him grabbed him by the throat and told him to shut up he was shouting that he wanted to leave you threatened to kill him count one and two involve convictions for indecency with a child and they are based on these incidents which started as I've said when he was 9 or 10 in count one a 9 or 12 in count two count three four and five reflect an incident when you dragged him up the stairs having grabbed him from behind in a chokehold punching him in the stomach and the back of the head causing him to fall on the floor you then picked him up by the throat putting him against the wall and when he couldn't breathe as he was suffering from asthma you taunted him you took an inhaler offering it to him and then pulled it away you strangled him until he thought he was going to die he was at that point he thought he was going to pass out he was aged only 12. count six seven and eight reflect further occasions of activity such as that but he was aged 12 to 13. when he was 13 or 14 count 9 and 10 occurred count nine a count of buggery in modern day parlance rape that was an occasion when you punched him repeatedly to get him on the bed he tried to fight back and you strangled him that is reflected in count 10. to the point where he lost consciousness and when he came to you were in the process of raping him this was a brutal attack on a young boy when he protested during the course of you raping him you forced him down punched him in the back of the head and forced him into submission leaving him with bruising to his face and ribs count 11 reflects a further incident when you as I've said in modern parlance raped him no violence was necessary on this occasion as he was already so frightened he complied on several occasions during this Behavior you told him that you would kill members of his family and you would kill him last if you told anybody what you had done the effect of this offending as we've heard and was obvious in the trial is that it is blighted his life he has spent years been guarded with others he's carried the secret of what happened to him for many years and the trauma still lives with him turning then to your relevant antecedent history in December 1993 you murdered a Woman by manually strangling her in March 1994 you murdered another female strangling her with a cord from her hooded top around the time of killing her you had sex with her although during the course of the trial you gave evidence that you killed her because she was pestering you in December 1997 you raped another female forcing her to perform oral sex and subjecting her to other humiliation that it's not necessary to repeat here in 1999 you received a seven year sentence for the rape fans and on the 14th of March 2000 news receive life sentences with a minimum term of 25 years for the two murder offenses pausing there the offenses in relation to count nine that the court is now dealing with interspersed between the two killings or very close in time to them emphasizing I was fortunate not to have died when you strangled him to unconsciousness on that count I propose to treat the offense on count nine buggery as the leader fans the equivalent of that offenses is conceded is rape looking at the harm the violence you inflicted was Extreme as I've said he was fortunate not to have died this will say sustained incident and you had already inflicted violence upon him and in those circumstances this is a culpability a offense and a category 1A offense which means a starting point of 15 years but a sentence range of 13 to 19. he was only age 13 or 14. there are aggravating features and the fact that you threatened him not to disclose what you had done as I've said I propose to treat this offense as the leader fans so the sentence reflects all of your offending in relation to a this was as described a campaign of attacks upon a young defenseless boy 15 years is the sentence in respect to one occasion of such an incident however this was a course of conduct which involved a series of offenses commencing when he was only nine or ten including offending involving choking him and physically attacking him and threatening him and there's a further offense of the same type in count 11 although without violence as stated in the guidelines offenses may be of such severity for example a campaign of offending that sentences over and above the maximum in the guideline is Justified the illustration there is 20 years or upwards might be appropriate in my judgment the appropriate sentence in respect of discount reflecting all of your offending is one of 20 years I turned and as I have to in accordance with the law the figure for totality and proportionality both in relation to each of the offenses and to have regard to the fact that you've been sentenced in respect of two murders since the commission of this offense although pausing there it can be said that the reasons for the delay in reporting this offense can be laid at your door due to the threats that you made to him to not disclose what you did but as I've said I have to have regard to totality and proportionality and I do and I reduce the sentence to One of 16 months and that reflects in my judgment the proper measure of totality and proportionality in addition I'm going to determine in due course that this sentence should start immediately I turn then to whether this sentence should be a determinate sentence or whether an assessment of the risk you pose leads to a different conclusion turning to The Heading of risk the present defending was prior to the 4th of April 2005 but the court has a common law discretion to pass a life sentence you've done a great deal of work to educate yourself and work it was done whilst you were in custody to address the question of risk that you pose to the public generally but to women in particular I'm not going to recite it here but for that work you are to be commended I've read with care of your engagement in a series of intensive interventions aimed at managing your risk of serious harm to the public it has resulted in you being re-categorized in prison however there are a number of features in this case that are of critical importance your ability to deploy what you've learned has never been tested outside of prison you continue to deny one of the two murders that you've been convicted of you have never had any intervention aimed at managing the risk of serious harm to young males from you indeed it's right to say that you continue to deny the present offenses and indeed refuse to discuss them at all with either the probation officer or with a psychiatrist you had a history of killing two women and inflicting very serious violence and sexual violence on a third woman now the risk to adult females has been added to with a risk to young male children I have read the report of the psychiatrist two reports and the probation officer with care I turned to paragraph 101 in the psychiatrist's report he has concluded us has the probation officer that you still pose a significant risk to members of the public of serious harm by committing further sexual offending against children and in addition to that although you've reduced your risk that you present to women through the work you've engaged in it is agreed by both the psychiatrist and the probation officer and indeed by this court that your risk is still high I've considered whether an extended sentence which is only available for the offenses of choking and indecent assaults on the indictment would address your risk however it's not possible to say how long you would present such a risk to the public so an extended sentence would not meet that risk I am satisfied that this is the case where you raped a young boy during the course of which you strangled him to the point of unconsciousness that that can probably properly be described as a very serious offense and for the reasons that I've set out already there are good grounds for believing that you will remain a serious danger to the public for a period that cannot be reliably estimated at the date of this sentence as I've determined that the notional term sentence term is 16 years but again in accordance with the law if I pass a life sentence I have to reduce your minimum term by a third and I do so and therefore the minimum term is one of ten years and eight months uh but the sentence as I passed is one of life you need to be clear about this 10 years and eight months is not a sentence after which you will be released it is the earlier stage at which you can be considered for parole in fact the position is you will only ever be released if it is safe to release you so the sentence of Discord in respect of count nine is a sentence of life with a minimum term of 10 years and eight months in respect of count one two three and six there are sentences of two years concurrent to each other and all the other counts on the indictment count four seven and ten ten years forgive me four and seven ten years count nine ten years and eight months and count 11 at 10 years all concurrent to each other and concurrent to count nine so the sentence is one of life imprisonment one two three and six the sentences are two years concurrent to each other and concurrent on all the other counts on the indictment counts for five seven eight and eleven are ten years on each concurrent to each other and all other counts on the indictment count ten is ten years and eight months and again that is concurrent to all the other counts on the indictment
