Worker jailed after attack on ex-boss

A sacked Currys worker has been jailed for almost four years after taking revenge against his former boss who gave evidence against him for stealing from the electrical store in Wolverhampton.

Anthony Raybone, aged 23, savagely attacked the warehouse manager, who spoke out in court against him, after the pair met by chance on a bus.

Wolverhampton Crown Court heard how he frogmarched terrified Ajay Verma from the double decker to a city centre alleyway where he rained kicks, punches and racial insults on the victim in an hour-long ordeal.

The beating only stopped when two security guards came to the rescue of Mr Verma, who had worked alongside Raybone at the Currys store in St John's Retail Park, Snow Hill, said Miss Raj Punia, prosecuting.
