Teen behind bars for metal pipe attack on postmistress

A TEENAGER who beat a 66-year-old Hampshire postmistress over the head with a metal pipe was today put behind bars for seven years.

Admire Masaiti, 18, left Linda Scorey with two black eyes and bad cuts to her head in the attack at Sparsholt post office near Winchester.

Masaiti, who was wearing a hoodie, had demanded cash from Mrs Scorey after earlier buying 80p worth of sweets.

She pressed the shop's panic button and tried to shelter in the glass-partitioned post office but Masaiti, who was 17 at the time, hurled a rock through the window, breaking the glass.

He forced his way in and dragged Mrs Scorey out while she bravely tried to wrestle free. As the fighting continued, Masaiti hit her over the head with a metal pipe before running away.

The whole incident, on June 27 last year, was caught on the store's CCTV cameras.

Masaiti, from London, was caught when traces of his DNA were found on the sweets he had bought earlier and He had previous convictions for possessing an offensive weapon, shoplifting and street robbery.

Masaiti had pleaded guilty to assault with intent to rob at an earlier hearing.

Judge Thomas Longbotham, sitting at Winchester Crown Court, described the attack as "traumatic".

He told Masaiti: "The photographs of her injuries were the kind that would cause revulsion in the eyes of the public. It's a terrible thing to do to anyone.

"You must understand people cannot just forget about these incidents. This sort of offence stays with people and has a great effect on people beyond the physical injuries."

Matthew Morgan, mitigating, said that Masaiti, who is originally from Zimbabwe, was remorseful for the attack and that his offending had been a result of excessive drink and drugs. He added that his client had led a tough life since moving to London in 2005 to live with his aunt and that this had driven him to run away and get involved in drink and drugs.

Masaiti was handed an extended sentence of seven years custody in a young offenders' institution, which will be followed by a period of four years in licence.

He has already served 265 days behind bars.

7 years is not enough he should be left in there to rot with sleep deprivation.

What a pity I would have liked to add a zero after seven. Even a one before seven would have been some kind of justice. But seven years? He be out after about three and half years... But obviously the Judge had his own reason. Could it be that the dear old lady was not his grandmother?

"his client had led a tough life since moving to London in 2005 to live with his aunt and that this had driven him to run away and get involved in drink and drugs"
And when he gets out of clink, (which let's be honest is not really punishment)he'll be just the same violent waste of space, completely un-reformed, and he'll just continue in the same way....why isn't he being sent straight back to Zimbabwe if life here is tough for him???

That's mitigation?

Diddums. Like he's the only person to have a tough life. The third world is chock-full of people who have had a far far tougher life than pretty much anyone in this country. How come they're not all mindless, violent criminals?

This waste of oxygen will never amount to anything, never be of any use to anyone, never do anything positive or worthwhile in his sorry existence. I find him guilty of wasting the life that was given to him, and order that it be confiscated from him forthwith

This gentleman is obviously from the Zanu-PF Youth Wing considering his evil actions against Ms Scorey. If we deported him back to Zimbabwe he would probably get a hero's welcome for attacking evil British colonialists.

Send him back with a letter saying that he is the UK organiser for the MDC, now that should get a result from Bob and his Zanu-PF gang!

Denzil has got a point. It could well be a deterrent if the whole family were to be deported because of the wrongdoing of one member. It might even mean that the parents/guardians of these young thugs may even care about what they are doing, where they are going, who their friends are and make sure they are brought up to act human.

The same way that council house occupiers should be evicted if members of their family cause havoc on their estates. I hasten to add that most council house tenants are decent hardworking people. But as always, it's the minority giving everyone the bad name.

I agree 100% with denzil and kasey. looking at all these crimes where attacks have taken place, how many of the people involved are indiginous british people? vertually none, it is nearly all immigrants, therefore deport them all, stop crime and england will be great again.

Problem is that old chestnut, the Human Rights Act; not really necessary for most decent living folk, but absolute protection for scum like this kid. He'll probably sue the govt (we'll pay for his lawyers to do so of course) if anything nasty happens to him in prison..what a mixed up world we live in eh?

I don't believe you are racist, benham, and I totally agree with you.

Foreigners who come to England should respect our laws, our country and our traditions. However, a lot don't.

The crazy laws and the soft way this country deals with immigrants and lets them get away with things due to their "religious" or "traditional" beliefs, has ruined the country. Enoch Powell. Now he had some sense.

Unfortunately, I believe that people who previously welcomed foreigners with open arms are actually now becoming racist.

Yet another scumbag low life immigrant abusing the hospitality of the soft UK. Why is they all blame their tough life, drink, drugs, abuse? I had a tough life, didn't do drugs, controlled my intake of drinks & myself after drinking but I didn't go around beating up elderly people.
Let's hope this scumbag is deported after his ridiculously short prison sentance. But I won't hold my breath waiting for it to happen
Posted by: Grammar Police, Southampton on 4:01pm Thu 17 Jul 08
Chris Shirley; Fair enough, those crimes carried out by white (and black) British NATIONALS (not just chavs/hoodies)should be punished by imprisonment. Unfortunately, our prisons are full of people who are not British citizens and therefore should be sent back to their own countries for them to deal with. Then there would be room in our prisons for our "home grown" criminals. Does anyone see anything unfair in that?

Thought not.

Nope, sounds fair to me.

But the original argument was deport the relatives of the criminal too.

Thats unfair. Do these relatives get banged up too and cause the over crowding of our jails? No.

I can see this catching on.

How about 3 points for every member of a family when one member gets caught speeding?

How about a criminal conviction for every member of a family when one member gets caught breaking the law?

Gets interesting now... and sounds good.

I'm guessing that the vast majority of comment here is from people attending anger management class!
Posted by: Grammer Police, Southampton on 6:08pm Thu 17 Jul 08
Wilson, you are guessing right - sort of. I am angry. I am angry that we have adopted the softly softly approach, don't upset the foreigners, let them bring their own laws and beliefs and inflict them on us. Don't upset the burglars - they have feelings too. Feel sorry for the paedophiles, the rapists the murderers, they are sorely misunderstood and had a tough childhood. So what if someone stole their bike when they were four years old. So what if times were hard and they only had one TV.

IT IS TIME TO GET TOUGH ON THE LAW BREAKERS.

But we won't. We're too wrapped up in doing "the right thing".

Meanwhile, decent, honest, hard working British nationals and foreigners who have integrated with our society and are legally working and paying their taxes, foot the bill. Again and again.

Yes, I am angry.

Does anyone have details of local anger management courses?

Thank you.

Let's call a spade a spade....... he's behaving as if he still lived in Africa.
Posted by: chris, UK on 6:47pm Thu 17 Jul 08

How many real british citizens have to suffer at the hands of our incompent government policies and criminal justice system. This creature should get the death sentance for his crimes and for every crime commited by an immigrant, a further ten immigrants should be deported from the country whether they have commited a crime or not. This will start getting immigrants to behave properly.
In addition to that we should also boot out of the country all the British bleeding heart left wing liberals who are the root cause of all the problems that the UK face today.

This is just another everyday story of a country ruled by the most stupid blinkered idiots who have allowed open borders and invited the scum and dregs of the world into the UK.

Eastern European criminals are rampaging throughout the land alsong with the 3rd world swarms iof benefit seekers, health tourists mixed with a few jihadists for good measure and networking with home grown terrorists as they plot to overthrow us.


Africa has also supplied us with the worst backward tribally raised troublemakers as per this and so many similar cases.


This is not a racist rant - the figures speak for themselves although the do-gooders and Guardianistas will try and cover up where possible.

We have a real problem with the escalating knife culture, most of which is based on the London gang scene which is mostly a BLACK issue in South London.

We all know it but many will deny it for their own political agenda.

Sadly, these criminal scrotes have brought shame on the previous generations of decent immigrants who have contributed to society.

Let's not forget that New Labour secretly are in desparate need of votes and the scumbags know it and will vote for self-protection.

We need right wing action to clamp down on all of these carpetbagging cretins who are damaging our economy, our safety, our welfare system, NHS and much more.

One upon a time, our island status helped us to grow into a world power but its all now sliding down a slippery slope.


Dont forget that we all being screwed on taxes, motorist bashing as well as being suckered into a 1984 style Orweliian state.

Why cant we be like our foreign counterparts who take to the the streets en masse? Poll Tax riots spring to mind, despite the idea being the fairest way to tax households based on number of residents.


Now get screwed by ever increasing Council Taxes that see us having fortnightly collections of stinking refuse!!!!

I have read the mission statement of the BNP (know your enemy and all that), and I must say it's not my cup of tea. My girlfriend's Greek (taxpayer and care worker before you all start) so she'd be first to go. My name's English dating back to the 1600s (not Gilmore by the way), so I'm sure I'd be safe. But do I really want to live in a country with no ethnic diversity, that turns a blind eye to the suffering in other countries despite our sizable wealth, where kids are forced into national service and everyone lives in a blinkered, isolated island existence? No thanks! Most of the richest people in the country are foreign born, deporting them would destroy the economy. The BNP's distorted view of reality is unfathomable at best, terrifying at worst.

I can see you have been a victim of the liberal media propaganda machine. Maybe you can have views like that with your "sizable wealth".

Gilmore:
Rather pathetic analogy with regard to your Greek girlfriend being 'deported'

I dont recall any major stories about knife-wielding Cypriots - apart from the kebab shop owners.

I dont recall seeing stories about Greek suicide bombers.

Likewise we have never had major problems with ANY immigrants although recent generations of Asiand and Eastern Europeans have brought a different aspect and far removed from their ancestors.

Forget this cop-out BNP labelling or any other phoney racist talk. The vast majority of people are not stupid and they will not accept any lies from those in power.

I and many more contributors are not shaven headed knuckle- dragging neanderthals who seem to be stereotypically linked to anybody who dares to mention unpalatable ideas.

Now get back to reading your Guardian
Posted by: Gilmore, Shirley, Southampton on 4:07pm Fri 18 Jul 08
King Mush, please read who I was addressing my post to. "Reality" said I should check out the BNP's policies and I said I have and gave reasons why I was disagreed with them.

The vast majority of people are not stupid, I do agree with that. But there are a few posts on this very thread suggesting that innocent people should be deported as an example to the minority of immigrants who are bad news. This does not strike me as an entirely sensible or intelligent plan. Where does it end? If I committed a crime (heaven forbid), should the police randomly arrest 10 white people who are over 6' tall to teach us tall white people a lesson we won't forget? It's insane and it's unworkable.

I don't read the Guardian, it's not liberal enough ;)

Agree. I was actually referring to common perception that most people do not trust the government.

It is not the 'ordinary' people who send brave kids to the front line.

"Tough on crime" etc. Dont tell me that anybody really believed this spin in the first place?

Maybe I should have qualified this sentence - it is one thing in 'not accepting' the bullshit but another by not being able to do anything about the lunatic decisions of our elected leaders.


Yes ELECTED twice over so who's to blame for the fiasco?


Us Brits dont have the balls to hit the streets at times such as this. We are being slowly stifled and strangled by the worst bunch of loonies in charge of the Westminster asylum.
