A man who assaulted two strangers - one a teenage girl and the other a woman - has been jailed for a total of four and a half years by Chelmsford Crown Court.
Oliver Purvis, 25, of Tanton Road, Flitch Green, admitted charges of sexual assault and assault with intent to commit a sexual act.
The attacks happened on consecutive days in May. The first took place on May 28. The woman in her 20s had been walking along Chelmsford Road at around 10.10pm.
As she entered an alleyway coming off Chelmsford Road she was approached from behind by a man who grabbed her, sexually assaulted her, and pushed her to the ground.
A man from Chigwell was found guilty of a murder in Northfleet, after a six-week trial in which he lied about being knocked unconscious after getting tied.
He has now been jailed for three years over Mr Bunn s death.
He was also charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent but was later acquitted.
In a statement, Mr Bunn s family - who described him as having a heart of gold - said: “Three years will never be enough in our eyes for our Daryl, but justice has been done and that was what we promised him and now we can finally grieve.
“We would like to thank Essex Police, not just for all the hard work on the investigation but also for all the support they have given us, Hannah and our extended family.
