A man who dragged a vulnerable woman into a bedroom and raped her and a husband who beat his wife to death with their son’s skateboard were among those jailed in Suffolk this week.
Hamza Badat
Hamza Badat, formerly of Levington Road in Ipswich, was jailed at Ipswich Crown Court this week after being found guilty of raping a woman last month.
Badat met the victim at a mutual friend's house on October 25, 2018.
The victim and Badat did not know each other previously and that night Badat dragged her into a bedroom and raped her.
As well as being jailed, Badat was ordered to sign the sex offenders register indefinitely.

Judge Martyn Levett described the killing of the 41-year-old mother-of-three Taiwo Abodunde as “ferocious, ruthless, cold blooded, callous and savage".
He said Mrs Abodunde was so badly injured a pathologist was unable to estimate the number of blows inflicted on her.
Abodunde pleaded guilty to murder last month after he initially deny the charge.
He was told he must serve a minimum of 17 years behind bars for the murder.
