Murdering rapist sentenced to 27 years for stamping Wolverhampton father to death
A murdering rapist who stamped to death a loving father in Wolverhampton has been jailed for life.
Carl Ellitts murdered Roy Deeley-Price on May 29 last year over £10 after a four-day rampage which involved violent robberies and four rapes.
Ellitts, 26, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to murder and four robberies but forced his two female victims to testify against him during a trial in which he was found guilty of counts of rape.
Today, at Wolverhampton Crown Court he was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 27 years for the murder of 48-year-old Deeley-Price.
Justice Mary Stacey also sentenced Ellitts to ten years for each of the counts of rape, to run concurrently, and another ten years for robbery and assault offences, also to run concurrent to his 27 year life sentence.
