David Forsyth, 30, was found guilty following a three-week trial at Stranraer Sheriff Court in which the jury heard he banged on the 85-year-old’s door wearing a mask and gloves, barged in, grabbed her wrists causing her to fall to the floor, kicked her on the body repeatedly and cut her phone wires so she couldn’t call for help. He was jailed for 44 months.
