In the audio clip, which has been released by the Crown Prosecution Service, Penfold said: “I would have stabbed him in the throat and ripped his f***ing jugular out.
“Don’t worry, next time I’m in Swindon, yeah, do you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to hunt this **** down and I am going to stab him [to stop him from] crying rape.”
The delivery driver had shouted “rape” after being threatened by co-defendant Dennis Pearce and surrounded by Penfold and another man.
The Chicken Cottage driver told the jury last week: “If you shout rape there is more chance that people will help you because they will think something’s happened to a woman, whereas if a bloke shouts ‘help, help’ nobody even looks twice.”
