A MONSTER who beat his grandad to death before boasting about his horrific crimes in a pub has been jailed.
Jakob Walpole, 33, left “internationally renowned” Jaguar restoration expert John Brown, 81, with a bleed on the brain.

He then headed to a working men’s club in Bulkington, Warwickshire, where he was captured on CCTV glassing a punter who confronted him for boasting about the twisted killing.
Walpole has now been jailed for 15 years after he was found guilty of manslaughter.
Warwick Crown Court was told the killer spent November 23 drinking before heading to Coventry City‘s ground to watch the football.
He then went to his grandad’s home to demand more money from the pensioner, who had recently been diagnosed with dementia.
Concerns about Walpole’s “deteriorating behaviour” had led to a security camera being installed at the bungalow.
At the time, the killer was subject to a restraining order blocking contact with John.
Haunting footage from the security camera showed the OAP pleading for help before he was bludgeoned to death.
Walpole then headed to the working men’s club where he continued his violent spree.
Dennis Hopson had confronted the killer for openly speaking about the brutal attack on John.
Walpole then smashed a pint glass over the back of the victim’s head causing cuts to his ear, neck and head.
He also punched a barman in the face as he was frogmarched out of the pub.
Police were later scrambled to John’s home after his daughter raised the alarm and discovered him “dazed and confused” with significant injuries.
The pensioner was rushed to hospital but tragically passed away six days later.
Walpole, who was cleared of murder, was also convicted of breaching a restraining order, ABH and common assault.
Detective Inspector Gareth Unett, who led the investigation, said: “John Brown was a kind, gentle, hardworking man whose loss has left a huge void in the lives of his loved ones and friends.
“Not only was he loved greatly by all those around him, he was known internationally as one of the best restorers of classic Jaguars.
“The legacy he leaves is not only in the love and generosity he showed to those around him, but also in the countless classic cars that will survive for generations more thanks to his work.
“Walpole’s attack on his grandfather, who had shown him nothing but kindness and generosity, was an act of cowardice and brutality that, in decades of policing, I struggle to find a comparison for.
“His later attack in the working men’s club only serves as further confirmation that Walpole is a danger to decent, peaceful, law-abiding people.”
