A family man who launched a vicious attack on a student after being tormented by pounding late-night music has been jailed. Roger Dosiak punched and kicked undergraduate Cain Jordan after suffering months of noise torment.
The 2am attack left Mr Jordan’s face “looking like a red blob” and his girlfriend unable to recognise him.
Judge John Wait jailed Dosiak for 14 months, who admitted wounding, saying he could have killed Mr Jordan. But he added: “The music must have been very frustrating over days, weeks and months.”
Dosiak’s uncle, Pete Dosiak, aged 49, said today that his nephew suffered months of abuse at the hands of the students in Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton, and that the police ignored his pleas for help.
“He’s been in this world for 35 years, and he’s never done a thing wrong,” he said.
“They were a happy family until they moved there. It was the worst thing they ever did. The students didn’t care for anybody. They were out until the early hours of the morning.
“He’s had enough of the abuse. He went to the police station but they got no help at all.”
Mr Julian Elcock, prosecuting, told Wolverhampton Crown Court that a group of students returned to their rented house next to Dosiak’s in Carter Road on March 10.
They got back at 10pm but spent four hours listening to music and playing computer games.
At 2am, Mr Jordan answered the door and Dosiak - shouting and swearing - grabbed him and began punching the student at least six times, threw him to the ground and kicked the 31-year-old in the head during a frenzied 60-second attack.
Mr Elcock said Mr Jordan suffered a fractured cheekbone, a bleeding and swollen eye and a cut lip.
Mr Oliver Woolhouse, defending, said Dosiak had reacted badly but had to cope with months of noise from his neighbours.
He added that the 35-year-old had never been in trouble before, held down a stable job at a car parts firm in Cannock and was a committed family man to his partner and her nine-year-old daughter.
Judge Wait said he had some sympathy for Dosiak but said his attack was “inexcusable”.
