A Kilmarnock man who received a compensation payout was horrifically beaten in his own home by a thug who went on to steal his bank cards.
The victim was left with a bleed on the brain after being subjected to an ordeal lasting hours at the violent hands of Graham Garforth.
A judge heard how the victim was said to be known for his "perceived wealth" in his hometown of Kilmarnock in Ayrshire.
