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.
Judge Kristina Montgomery KC sentenced him and said: "(Mr Brown) was an exceptionally small man in deteriorating physical health who had been diagnosed with dementia.
"Your visits (to Mr Brown's home) were made to exploit his love… by taking money from both your grandparents to fund your lifestyle. You were an intimidating and persistent nuisance in their lives."

Evil Walpole repeatedly told his mum Lynda Brown to "shut up" from the dock as she read a victim impact statement.
Lynda said: "The tears we have shed could fill buckets and I live with the knowledge my son caused the death of my beloved father.
"Even though he's been in prison, we are still in fear. Mum is terrified he will be back knocking at the door or her bedroom window.
"She lives in this fear constantly and we fear the day he's released again."

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."

Woman, 31, who mugged her OAP partner on bus and called him ‘dirty dog' in terrifying broad daylight attack is jailed
Katie Bland went on to admit robbery, assault by beating, fraud and blackmail VILE ABUSE Woman, 31, who mugged her OAP partner on bus and called him 'dirty dog' in terrifying broad daylight attack is jailed A WOMAN who mugged her OAP partner on a bus and called him a "dirty dog" in the terrifying broad daylight attack has been jailed.

Prosecutor Nathan Davis told Bradford Crown Court on Friday: "He left after an argument and she would call him and be abusive and ask for money." At around 4pm, Bland discovered he was at a bus station in Halifax and travelled to him where she called him a racist word and a "dirty dog". She then proceeded to grab him by the collar of his coat and throw him around as she cruelly demanded cash. read more news HORROR ATTACK Eight-year-old boy's thumb bitten off in savage XL Bully attack The pensioner offered Bland £20 - but she wanted his bank card. She then became aggressive when he refused to hand it over, instead offering the alternative of going to a cash point together to withdraw money. It was on the journey she became more violent and began kicking him in the leg and screaming at him. A woman who was witnessing the horror abuse then tried to intervene but Bland turned on her - grabbing her by the scarf and threatening to "knock her jaw off" if she "didn't shut the f*** up". Bland then continued to assault the elderly man and even managed to withdraw £40 from his bank account before cops showed up. She was arrested and answered "no comment" in her interview. Manhunt Launched in Northampton: River Nene Murder Investigation Underway Bland went on to admit robbery, assault by beating, fraud and blackmail. In his statement, the man said he has "never been so depressed or worried" in all of his life. His statement, read by prosecutor Nathan Davis, said: "I wake up and don't know how she is going to be. "I get abused daily. I lost all of my friends for my relationship. "My friends have told me what she is like and asks for money to buy drugs. "'Her behaviour is the last weeks has become worse. It has affected me to the point I want to give up with life. "I never want to come home due to the mess she has left in my house." The court heard how Bland, who appeared over a video link from HMP New Hall, had previous convictions on her record. She was actually the subject of a suspended sentence for another robbery at the time she committed those she fell to be sentenced for on Friday. Mitigating, Shila Whitehead, said: "What she tells me is she has been in custody since January. "She said she is aware her behaviour towards him was unacceptable and she is willing to accept help "She accepts at the time of committing these offences she was using drugs and was heavily dependant on them."
