Two men have been jailed after they robbed a fellow resident at a homeless shelter in Nottingham. Jack Dennis and Gervais Davis entered the victim's room at a hostel in London Road before attacking him and stealing his Nike trainers, jeans, two mobile phones, bank card and food.
Nottingham Crown Court heard on Wednesday, November 2 that the pair knocked on the victim’s door and asked him for a cigarette. When he asked them to wait outside, they ignored his request and entered the room.
Dennis then put the victim in a headlock and pulled him to his knees, before repeatedly punching him in the ribs. After the attack on November 28 last year, Dennis threatened to stab the victim “18 times” if he told anyone, the court heard.
