00:05Three days after the attack, he left Anita's phone in Ipswich,

00:09enabling it to fall into the hands of others.

00:12Whilst causing a distraction and diverting significant resources,

00:17this ultimately led to his downfall with further CCTV being obtained,

00:21capturing his actions.

00:23Our thoughts remain with Anita's partner, children and grandchildren

00:28who have endured an unimaginable year

00:31and have been forced to sit through weeks of painful evidence at trial.
