A vicious rapist who tried to murder his victim in a life-threatening assault was jailed for 15 years for the horrific attack.
Martin Myles shunned the woman's pleas to get medical help for her after he subjected her to a sexual assault and repeatedly kicked her, leaving her in agony. A judge told Myles yesterday that a perforation of the victim's bowel sustained during the murder bid would have caused her death but for the medical intervention she eventually received.
Lord Stuart told him at the High Court in Edinburgh that the assault and rape he perpetrated on the woman were "vicious" and "evil".
