A thug caught tucking into food at a bakers after horrifically beating his victim has been jailed for six years and nine months.

Graham Garforth, 30, attacked and robbed his victim, who had become known for his "perceived wealth" after a compensation payout.The man suffered a bleed on the brain after an ordeal lasting hours at his home in Kilmarnock.Garforth was sentenced having earlier pled guilty to assaulting and robbing his 35 year-old victim to his severe injury, permanent disfigurement and to the danger of his life.The High Court in Glasgow earlier heard how the victim - who was left impaired down his left side as a result of an incident as a child - had later received a compensation payment.The exact sum was not revealed at the hearing.But, prosecutor Michelle Brannagan said: "People in the local area are said to be aware of this and his perceived wealth."The man had been out in Kilmarnock on February 22 last year before ending up in the company of Garforth and two women at a bar.He did not know Garforth before that night.The victim went on to spend "a fair bit on money" buying drinks for the group.The man, Garforth and one of the women then ended up back at his house.Garforth, also of Kilmarnock, suddenly became aggressive there and started making comments towards the man.The victim believed he may have been hit after reacting to what Garforth said.His recollection of his ordeal was described as "fragmented" but "vivid" at points.The victim recalled cowering on the floor, already bleeding as Garforth punched him.Miss Brannagan: "At a later stage, [the victim] was lying in a doorway with Garforth repeatedly slamming the door against his head."He put his foot against his throat and applied pressure to it."The
