'Most wanted' vile bully who poured boiling water on woman caught with kilo of cocaine

A "most wanted" thug jailed for pouring boiling water on a woman was caught with £80,000 worth of cocaine months after his release from prison.

Anthony Reilly spent 18 months on the run from Merseyside Police after the sickening assaults on the woman. At the time, he made his victim's life "a living nightmare" with threats so sinister, she even wore a wig to disguise herself in public.

He was jailed for three and a half years in March 2020, and would have served around half of that time in custody, including time already served on remand, before being released on licence. However, by February this year Reilly was involved in serious crime again in his new home in Ulverston, Cumbria.
