Rapist jailed for life for brutal murder of frail pensioner
Jason Ward, 23, left Gladys Godfrey with a broken neck, fractured skull and completely blackened face after the horrific attack at her home in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
The machine operator was said to have targeted the tiny widow, who lived alone, for his own “sexual gratification” after indecently assaulting her more than a year before.
