Rapist who cooked son's rabbit armed himself with broken bottle during bar fight

A rapist who decapitated and cooked his son's rabbit armed himself with a broken glass bottle during a fight on a night out.

Billy Rutter was previously jailed for a sickening sexual assault on a schoolgirl and was most recently locked up after killing the pet, throwing its severed head at his ex-girlfriend and roasting it in the oven. He is now behind bars again after police spotted him arming himself amid an altercation outside a Revolution bar in Liverpool city centre.

Liverpool Crown Court heard this afternoon, Monday, the police on patrol on Victoria Street at around 1.15am on December 11 last year heard glass smashing then saw the drunken defendant holding a shattered bottle. Matthew Conway, prosecuting, described how Rutter - of Mackenzie Road in Leasowe, Wirral - hid the item behind his back then walked towards Temple Court, approaching a group of strangers outside Revolution.
