Man jailed for pensioner rapes

NIGHT stalker Delroy Grant was jailed for life yesterday for carrying out sex attacks on elderly people in a 17-year reign of terror.

The former minicab driver, 53, was found guilty of preying on 18 pensioners, but police fear he may have attacked more than 500 victims.

Grant was told he will spend a minimum of 27 years behind bars as he was sentenced.

Grant, of Honor Oak, south-east London, was found guilty of 29 charges relating to burglaries, attempted burglaries, rapes and indecent assaults against 18 elderly people between October 1992 and November 2009.

He received four life sentences for three rapes and one attempted rape of elderly women. He was given concurrent eight and six-year sentences for indecent assaults and burglaries.
