Victoria Park attack: Rape victim 'hit with paving slab'published at 15:55 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2017
Gavin Bevis
BBC NewsA 17-year-old boy raped a woman in a park and left her for dead after using a paving slab to cause her "truly dreadful" head injuries, a court has heard.
Leicester Crown Court was told the teenager attempted to kill the victim and dragged her into undergrowth, where she was found by a passing cyclist almost an hour later.
The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, has admitted causing grievous bodily harm, two counts of rape, and stealing the victim's handbag, but denies attempting to murder her in Leicester's Victoria Park on 3 July.
After showing the jury CCTV of the defendant allegedly carrying a paving stone, Mr Aspden told the court the woman was walking through the park when the defendant appeared at her side, violently forced her to the ground and raped her.
He said: "There was violence throughout. He struck her repeatedly. She was hit on the head at least twice with that heavy object that the defendant had brought with him for that very purpose.
"As a result of those blows she suffered truly dreadful, life-threatening head injuries."
The trial continues.

BBC NewsA "rare" example of the "first modern telephone" has been uncovered at an antiques market.
Image source, HansonsA jade green General Post Office (GPO) telephone, dating back to 1934, was brought to the market in Market Harborough and is set to be sold at auction later this month.
"This is the holy grail of telephones," Adrian Rathbone, from Hansons auctioneers said.
"Back in the 1930s, if you were affluent, a member of royalty or lucky enough to be a film star, you could apply to the GPO for a telephone in a colour other than standard black.
"Only three other colours were on offer - ivory, Chinese red and jade green. These were more expensive to make and incurred substantially increased rental fees.
"They were a luxury few could afford in the depression era. To have one was a statement of wealth".

End of twitter postModel railway club's expansion plan hits bufferspublished at 14:59 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December 2017

BBC NewsA model railway club's bid to try to expand into a neighbouring building has reached the end of the line.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Elizabethan Railway Society, based in Sutton-in-Ashfield, had hoped to takeover a building that was being vacated by St John Ambulance.
But a clause in the charity's lease meant the building had to be demolished and despite attempts by the railway club to stop the building being flattened, no resolution could be found.
"We've made our best efforts to take on that building but it has been unsuccessful," the club's show organiser Trevor Peat said.
"I always thought it was a long shot and this outcome was at the back of my mind."
