Finally Wolverhampton is free from murdering rapist who spent his life terrorising the vulnerable

The 26-year-old's life sentence with a minimum 27 years for the murder of father of two Roy Deeley-Price is the culmination of a life of crime and a long list of victims.

He's battered girlfriends, beat up their children, terrorised ex-girlfriends, firebombed a partner's parents' home and even violently attacked his own family. Anyone unfortunate to cross his path with any money he could swindle, rob or steal to buy drugs was also his victim.

Ellitts continually targeted the most vulnerable people he could find, whether to rob or rape. His attitude towards women has always been diabolical.

In April 2016, during an argument with his girlfriend her 10-year-old son tried to defend her mother enraging Ellitts who then pinned the boy to floor and began beating him, he denied actual bodily harm but was found guilty.

Blaming his girlfriend for phoning the police about assaulting her boy, Ellitts barged into her auntie's home and punched and kicked her before threatening both women.

In May 2016 police and neighbours called the police when Ellitts drunkenly attacked his own mother and sister forcing his stepfather to step in and save them. His sister told police he had attacked her after taking a knife out the kitchen drawer, then grabbed her hair, dragged her round the kitchen and punched her. The stepfather and Ellitts then went into the street for a fight before police arrived and arrested Ellitts, who added battery and threatening and abusive behaviour to his growing criminal record.
