An on-the-run convict who brutally murdered a mother-of-six while she was walking her dog was jailed for 25 years today.
Roy Barclay, 56, was given a life sentence after was convicted by a jury which heard how he attacked Anita Rose in Brantham, Suffolk, in July last year.
The thug had been living 'off-grid' in a desperate attempt to avoid being recalled to prison for a previous assault on a pensioner when he encountered the 57-year-old grandmother and her pet.
Barclay subjected her to 'numerous kicks, stamps and blows' in a 'vicious and brutal' onslaught while she was out with her spaniel, Bruce.
She was found by passers-by on a footpath beside a sewage works but died four days later.
