Rapist caught by distinctive Man United tattoo after attacking grandmother is jailed

A man who punched a grandmother in the face before brutally raping her in her own home has been jailed for 12 years.

Jason Batchelor, 46, forced his way into the house while the 78-year-old woman was making breakfast in May.

When asked what he wanted he told the grandmother 'you know what I want' before knocking her to the floor and raping her.

After the vicious attack, he told his victim, 'If you tell the police I'll f***ing murder you', before stealing £20 in cash and fleeing the scene in Purley, south London.

The woman, who is now 79, managed to call a friend and was taken to hospital.
