A convicted rapist who hit a woman over the head, dragged her into bushes and tried to rape her within 22 months of his release from prison has been jailed for life.<\/p>\n
Uganda-born Ramazan Mukalazi, 40, had lost his right to live in Britain after being jailed for raping a 21-year-old woman as she was going home from a night out in central London in 2008.<\/p>\n
The Old Bailey heard that he grabbed his victim from behind and told her ‘if you scream I will rip your tongue out’ before raping her.<\/p>\n
Last November, within 22 months of his release on immigration bail, he subjected a 66-year-old woman to a second ‘ferocious’ stranger sex attack after consuming alcohol and cannabis, the Old Bailey was told.<\/p>\n
Mukalazi, from Hounslow, west London, pleaded guilty to attempted rape and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ramazan Mukalazi was jailed on Friday to another 11 years in prison after he attacked a 66-year-old woman in Hounslow while on immigration bail<\/p>\n
On Friday, Judge Paul Dugdale told Mukalazi he was a ‘very dangerous’ man and jailed him for life with a minimum term of 11 years.<\/p>\n
He told the defendant: ‘You brutally attacked a 66-year-old woman walking on her own along the street in Hounslow in the darkness of a November morning.<\/p>\n
‘You attacked her for the sole purpose of raping her, which is what you then attempted to do.<\/p>\n
‘You beat her to the head, causing her to suffer a bleed on the brain, causing her to be hospitalised for a week.<\/p>\n
‘You pose an ongoing risk that you will rape again and in violent circumstances. In my judgement you are a very dangerous man.’<\/p>\n
Setting out the background to the case, prosecutor Max Hardy said the defendant was handed an indeterminate sentence with a minimum term of 48 months in jail for rape in 2009 and recommended for deportation.<\/p>\n
Mukalazi was released on licence in September 2018 after serving over ten years in prison but was recalled in October 2019 for ‘risky behaviour’ described as unwanted advances towards a woman at a Cheshire nightclub.<\/p>\n
He was later transferred to an immigration detention centre before being released on immigration bail in January 2021.<\/p>\n
Early last November 2, the 66-year-old victim was seen lying hurt on the pavement in Martindale Road, Hounslow, with the defendant crouching next to her.<\/p>\n
A passerby mistakenly thought he was tending to the woman, who was making a ‘gargling sound’, Mr Hardy said.<\/p>\n
Asked if an ambulance should be called, Mukalazi told the man to ‘go away’.<\/p>\n
After calling an ambulance, the man was ‘shocked’ to return to the scene and find the defendant dragging the woman by the feet into an alleyway.<\/p>\n
He alerted police and officers found the defendant with his trousers around his ankles and on top of the woman in a garden, the court was told.<\/p>\n
The victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, had serious head wounds and her face was covered in blood.<\/p>\n
After being charged, the defendant initially claimed he found the woman lying on the ground and she had fallen into a wooden fence and on to concrete.<\/p>\n
But a medical report concluded she had been hit on the ear, punched in the eye and suffered blows to the head in a violent attack.<\/p>\n
In mitigation, Felicia Davy said the defendant, who has lived in the UK since the age of seven, had been in a ‘state of desperation’.<\/p>\n
She said the involvement of immigration ‘assisted nobody in this case’ and bids to deport him were ‘in name only’.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mukalazi was told by Judge Paul Dugdale at the Old Bailey that he was ‘a very dangerous man’<\/p>\n
Ms Davy told the court her client was ‘set up to fail’ after leaving prison and becoming homeless because he could not work or claim benefits as a result of his changed immigration status.<\/p>\n
She said: ‘At the time of the offences he had been living with his father. He had been consuming alcohol and cannabis. He was really at an incredibly low ebb.’<\/p>\n
She added: ‘Through me, he expresses remorse and says he is sorry. He knows there is no excuse.’<\/p>\n
Judge Dugdale said that after the second attack, the defendant was recalled under his original IPP (Imprisonment for public protection) sentence.<\/p>\n
He told the defendant: ‘The public protection powers of the IPP were clearly inadequate to control the danger you posed to the public.’<\/p>\n
