Jlitakryan, who faces at least 10 years in jail if convicted over the alleged attack, said: ’He told me that if I helped him, he could give me sexual favours, but I didn’t want sexual favours I just wanted to rest and charge my phone.
Jlitakryan told the court the pensioner also woke up and blocked off the exits by standing in the kitchen doorway holding an axe, saying nobody would believe him if he complained.
Jlitakryan was eventually arrested by police on August 17 working at a husky farm almost 300 miles away after the car was found abandoned in a ditch, the Daily Mail reports.
The British defendant said the pair wrestled over the axe before he managed to seize it and hit the older man twice with it.
Garo Jlitakryan, 32, claims he lashed out at the 75-year-old in self-defence after being tied down and raped by the older man at his home in Seinajoki on July 29 last year.
