Man urinates on dying woman

London - A man who urinated on a woman as
she lay dying was sentenced to three years in jail on Friday.
Anthony Anderson, 27, of Hartlepool, first threw a bowl of
water over the stricken Christine Lakinski before urinating and
spraying shaving foam on her.
Lakinski, 50, who suffered from a number of medical
conditions, was later pronounced dead at the scene, having
suffered from pancreatic failure.
Anderson, a former soldier, who was sentenced at Teesside
Crown Court, had admitted outraging public decency at an earlier
hearing.
On the evening of the incident in July, Anderson had been
smoking a cannabis joint and drinking with friends in Hartlepool
when they spotted Lakinski's motionless body in a doorway.
Lakinski, who had suffered curvature of the spine and
learning difficulties from birth, had fallen ill and stumbled,
banging her head, on her way home.
Anderson kicked her foot, and after she failed to respond
said he was going to urinate on her prone body. A friend then
filmed him on a cellphone.
They rang an ambulance about 20 minutes later as they
prepared to go out nightclubbing.
Police traced the 999 call to one of the friends and
Anderson was arrested.
