A far-right thug who stood as a BNP and National Front candidate in two elections is facing a substantial prison sentence for violently raping a woman and attempting to rape her teenage daughter.
A jury heard particularly distressing evidence that former soldier Michael Coyle humiliated his victim by using a craft knife to carve the word “s***” into her thigh; “w****” into her arm; “old” and “saggy” on her breasts, and the letters “FAT” across her stomach.
Tattooed Coyle, 40, who also rubbed the woman’s face against a rough wall leaving a burn-like mark on her cheek, was further convicted of wilfully ill-treating children by forcing them to stand in a cold dark room for hours and of assaulting two other children by presenting a knife at them and hitting one of them on the face.
