By Inderdeep Bains A man told a woman ‘I’ve come to rape you’ after smashing down her front door in revenge because she had helped to convict him of burglary four years earlier. Weeks after his three-and-a-half-year sentence for the break-in ended, Ashley Mills broke into his victim’s house and repeatedly raped her at knifepoint. Speaking yesterday, she said she feared she would die in the ‘brutal and prolonged’ two-hour attack by homeless Mills, 28, who had burgled her home in 2009 after she took pity on him and let him camp on her land. Career criminal: Ashley Mills, 28, has been jailed after he broke into Linda's home with an iron bar, grabbed a carving knife and told her: 'I've come to rape you' in a revenge sex attack
