Man jailed for urinating on dying woman

A man who urinated on a disabled woman as she lay dying in the street was jailed for three years today.

Anthony Anderson, 27, of Raby Road, Hartlepool, was sentenced for outraging public decency when he degraded 50-year-old Christine Lakinski, who had collapsed in July this year.

Judge Peter Fox, the recorder of Middlesbrough sitting at Teesside Crown Court, said there were few similar cases to compare.

He said: "You violated this woman in an incredible way and the shocking nature of your acts over a prolonged period of time must mean that a prison sentence of greater length is appropriate in this case."
