This is the horrifying moment a convicted drug dealer is caught on a Ring doorbell camera smashing his way into a defenceless grandmother's home before beating her to death.

Catherine Flynn's daughter could only watch in terror as Dean Mears - who was 'high on drugs' - forced his way into the 69-year-old's seaside home.

Harrowing audio then captured the appalling sound of 15 thuds as the scaffolder dragged Mrs Flynn - who had mobility issues and used a Zimmer frame - out of bed and stamped repeatedly her face and neck.

Heartbreakingly the terrified pensioner could be heard begging: 'Please don’t!'

Less than two minutes after breaking in, the 34-year-old dived out of the broken window before fleeing, leaving the pensioner dying.
