>A man has admitted he raped a Sikh woman in her home while subjecting her to a tirade of religiously aggravated abuse, changing his plea on the second day of his trial after facing verbal abuse in the dock. The woman's ordeal began last autumn when Ashby followed her as she got off a bus. Unbeknownst to her, he entered her property armed with a two-foot stick he had picked up from the ground. At the opening of the case, the jury was told how on hearing a noise inside her home, the woman - a stranger to Ashby - tried to lock herself in the bathroom, but he barged his way in and went on to rape her. "Once inside the bathroom he turned the light off, telling her that he was 'here to have fun'," prosecutor Phil Bradley KC said. The court heard that during the attack, Ashby subjected his victim to a tirade of anti-Muslim abuse, wrongly believing her to be of that faith.
>Recounting the woman's ordeal on Monday, Bradley said: "Despite her screams, he told her to take her clothes off, he struck her with the stick, and he put his hands around her neck to strangle her and demanded that she climb into the bathtub. "He turned on the hot water tap and began pouring water over her, telling her to say 'hallelujah' as he did so." The court heard that Ashby told the woman his name was John and demanded she repeat "his mantra that he was 'the master'." The prosecution said that after raping the woman, Ashby instructed her to go into the bedroom and lie on the bed, saying again he was there "to have fun" while referring to his private parts as being white British. The court heard the attack only came to an end because Ashby was "evidently spooked by a noise outside" and ran away, taking the victim's jewellery and a mobile phone. The jury was told that the woman raised the alarm and police arrived within minutes. The woman picked Ashby out as her attacker at an identity parade days later, the court heard.
