'Inexcusable': Judge blasts police as rapist finally jailed after taking over TWO YEARS to get to court
A judge has blasted the police after it took over two years for a rapist to be brought to court and jailed. Meynard Murambakanda, 32, raped a vulnerable woman twice back in May 2020.
In sentencing him, Judge Hilary Manley told prosecuting counsel David Lees: “The defendant was arrested on May 22 2020. It took Greater Manchester Police two years to submit a file to the CPS. He managed to obtain her personal information, including the pin number for her bank card. On May 10, he spiked a cup of tea before raping her twice. He then left her alone, stole her bank card and withdrew £650 from her bank account.
“After two-and-a-half years I have got justice,” she said. The woman said she had thought about taking her own life and said waking up each morning worried about not being trusted or believed left her feeling shame, distress and anxiety. Steven Sullivan, defending, said that his client’s immigration status had been taken from him at the time, leading him to ‘spiral’. “He was not able to claim benefits, he was not able to make gainful employment, he began to live a very much feral and itinerant lifestyle,” Mr Sullivan said.
Murambakanda, of no fixed abode, was jailed for six years and four months, with an extended licence period of two years after the judge deemed him a dangerous offender under sentencing provisions. He must serve two thirds of the sentence in prison before being considered for release by the Parole Board.
