Man's horror 48-hour rampage HOURS after he's released from jail

A thug who threatened to kill a woman just hours after being released from prison has been sent back to jail for more than four years. Noel Jennings, 32, was released from prison on licence on March 9 this year, before subjecting a woman to 48 hours of abuse so bad she 'wet herself without realising'.

He had just been released from jail when a woman, who cannot be named, picked him up to take him to his brother's house. But he locked her inside the house and instead began a ruthless two days of abuse, where he sprayed fire at her face and threatened to kill her whole family.

Brian Berlyne, prosecuting at Minshull Street Crown Court, said the abuse started soon after they had arrived at the house. Jennings threatened to cut her face with a wallpaper scraper, kicked her in the back and took a can of lighter fluid and a lighter to spray flames near her face, causing her to jump away.
