A rapist who murdered a father of two by repeatedly stamping on his head and chest during a “tornado of criminal violence” has had his sentence increased at the Court of Appeal. Carl Ellitts was originally jailed for life with a minimum term of 27 years for the murder of Roy Deeley-Price, as well as three separate robberies, assault with intention to rob and four counts of raping two women, all of which happened during a four-day “rampage”.
The 26-year-old was also handed a 10-year sentence for each count of rape to run concurrently, and eight years to run concurrently for the robberies, as well as three years for assault with intention to rob – all part of what was described by the sentencing judge as a “tornado of criminal violence, both physical and sexual”.
The barrister said the rapes featured “humiliating and degrading conduct” with “particularly vulnerable victims being preyed upon”. Ellitts appeared via video link from Full Sutton prison in Yorkshire, with members of Mr Deeley-Price’s family also attending the hearing remotely. The senior judge said Ellitts had an “extremely concerning history of violence, particularly towards women” and that the murder featured “senseless and gratuitous violence”. The aggregate sentence must reflect the totality of all the relevant offending,” Lord Justice Stuart-Smith said.
