Cocaine-fulled builder jailed for two years for New Year's Day attack

Harry McMenamin, who’d been drinking and using cocaine, repeatedly banged on the woman’s locked door and shouted at her to come out, Ipswich Crown Court heard.

The woman called 999 and during the course of her conversation with the operator, banging and screaming could be heard as McMenamin smashed her flat door open and dragged her out of bed.

He had then grabbed the woman, who’d only recently moved into the flat, from behind with his arm across her throat and punched her several times in the head.
