Man who urinated on dying woman is jailed for three years - Update

A man who urinated on a woman as she lay dying and shouted "this is YouTube material" has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Anthony Anderson also covered Christine Lakinski with shaving foam after she collapsed in a Hartlepool street.

Anderson, a former soldier, had smoked a cannabis joint and been drinking when he and two friends spotted her. He tried to rouse her by throwing a bucket of water over her, before urinating on her and covering her with shaving foam.



A crowd had gathered around, watching and laughing, and the incident was filmed on a mobile phone.

Miss Lakinski, 50, who suffered from a number of medical conditions, was later pronounced dead at the scene, the cause of death being given as pancreatic failure.

Judge Peter Fox, the recorder of Middlesbrough sitting at Teesside Crown Court, said: "You violated this woman in an incredible way, and the shocking nature of your acts over a prolonged period of time must mean that a prison sentence of greater length is appropriate in this case."
