How gambling addiction drove a thug to do this
Byline: BEN TAYLOR
THEIR battered and bruised faces bear witness to the bloody reality of gambling addiction in Britain today.
These two women were beaten nearly to death by an unemployed man desperate for cash to place on a horse or greyhound.
Junior Easy, 38, has admitted punching at least 11 women during horrific muggings over a two-month period.
If they resisted and refused to hand over their handbags, he grabbed their heads and smashed them against the pavement until they gave in.
Police believe 6ft 3in Easy is responsible for many more attacks.
He targeted lone women of any age and background as they walked to and from commuter railway stations in South London.

Once the money was safely in his pocket, Easy would walk straight to his local bookmakers - where he regularly placed bets of [pounds sterling]50 or [pounds sterling]60 on a race.
Detective Constable Terry Hill, of British Transport Police, said: 'He let his gambling run away with him.
'He basically stole to fund his addiction. Once he had what he needed he went straight to the betting shop and gambled it away. When he ran out he would go out looking for another woman.' When police raided Easy's flat in Bermondsey, South East London, they found meticulouslycompiled form guides for horse and dog racing.
They also discovered sacks of items taken from women's handbags. These included cosmetics, umbrellas and personal items such as letters.
The attacks that police know about began on May 7 this year when 57-year-old Diane Runacres was attacked at North Dulwich railway station.

Mrs Rayment, a mother-ofthree, had been to see her mother and was walking back to catch a train to her home in Chiselhurst, Kent.
She suffered appalling injuries which required a fivehour operation. Easy's blows fractured her nose, cheekbones and eye socket and caused the roof of her mouth to collapse. He stole the contents of her handbag - which contained about [pounds sterling]55 cash.
Further attacks followed in Dulwich and Clapham until Easy was arrested in August.
His victims' ages ranged between 17 and 57.
Police fear that if he had not been stopped he would have killed. He pleaded guilty to 11 assaults on October 14 at Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court and will be sentenced next month.
Detective Constable Hill, who with colleague Tony Burman has been commended for tracking Easy down, said: 'This man is an incredibly violent and dangerous individual. It is a miracle that no one was killed.' Mrs Rayment, who has made a remarkable recovery to return to work at Winston Churchill's Britain At War museum, said: 'The attack has changed my life.
'When I visit my mother, I now have to take a taxi, stay overnight and take a taxi back in the morning.
'When I was told that this man had an addiction to gambling and that he attacked
