This little scrote has obviously shown that he is going to be a career criminal and beating a woman to death because she screamed when he tried to burgle her home shows that he is an evil cowardly scum who should never be allowed out ever again.
On its own that is bad enough, but this little shite was on early release and tagged when he commited the crime. Its good to see that the punishments that this govenment have developed are SO effective when it comes to protecting the innocent!
A burglar who battered a mother of two to death in her own home while wearing an electronic tag has been jailed for a minimum of 18 years.
Lloyd Edwards, 19, had been convicted at Kingston Crown Court of murdering Laila Rezk, 51, who was found at her home in Kingston Vale in 2006.
Edwards was issued with a tag when he was released early from an 18-month Detention and Training Order.
Edwards, of south-west London, admitted manslaughter but had denied murder.
The teenager, who had a string of previous convictions, had been in trouble with police since the age of 10 and carried out a raid on another house just two weeks after leaving Mrs Rezk for dead.
On curfew
It emerged following the trial that Edwards had been released two months early from a young offenders' institute where he was serving part of an 18-month detention and training order for a previous offence.
He was fitted with an electronic tag and on a curfew but after drinking all day on November 29 last year, he entered Mrs Rezk's home as she prepared a family dinner and launched a violent attack when she screamed.
Laila Rezk died the day after the attack in her London home
She was left with severe brain damage and her injuries suggested she had been punched a number of times and her head smashed against a wall.
She was still breathing when daughter Dina, a PhD student at Girton College, Cambridge, who was then 22, and son Tamer, a medical student aged 20, walked in through the open doorway.
The court heard her daughter "could not recognise her mother's face" because of her injuries, which were so severe that paramedics thought a weapon must have been used.
She was taken to hospital but had fallen into a coma from which she never recovered.
Print on key
A single thumbprint on a bent front door key on a bunch recovered from a lock at the home matched that of Edwards from Roehampton, south west London.
He later told police he pulled his sleeves over his hands when he went around the house.
He denied unlocking the door with the key but officers believe that in his agitation, his jumper slipped from his hands, leaving the print on the key.
The Judge, Mr Justice Calvert-Smith,said Mrs Rezk's screams i resulted in Edwards losing his temper and launching a "ferocious attack".
He said: "She must have heard the noise of your entry and took exception to the presence of a stranger in her house.
"You could, of course, have left the house and gone elsewhere but you continued your assault long, long after you had disabled her.
"You must have seen the dreadful injury you had done to a woman that could have been your own mother.
"I accept that you didn't intend to kill Mrs Rezk and didn't intend when you went into the house to cause anyone really serious injury.
"But when Mrs Rezk resisted, you clearly lost your temper and formed the intention which resulted in you assaulting her so seriously she died."
I couldnt care less if this animal had intended injury or not, if he hadnt been trying to burgle her house int he first place he wouldnt have come in to contact with her, plus he could have just legged it when she appeared but no, he had to beat the living daylights for her ultimately causing her death.
