A married Leicester man was jailed for eight years for grievous bodily harm on his ex-mistress.<\/p>\n
Arfan Hussein 31-year-old was found guilty by a Leicester Crown Court jury of inflicting grievous bodily harm, with intent, upon the woman, whose injuries included a fractured eye socket, two broken ribs and knife wounds to her head, ear and hand.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old victim who was in fear of her life escaped out of a window and hid on the rooftop above her then home in Cavendish Road, Aylestone, Leicester, on the afternoon of Wednesday July 14.<\/p>\n
Hussein, of Maynard Road, Spinney Hills, denied the offence, claiming his ex-mistress was waging a “vendetta” against him by falsely blaming him for her injuries.<\/p>\n
The jury rejected his account by convicting him unanimously last week.<\/p>\n
During the trial, the prosecutor, Paul Prior said: “The defendant had a relationship with the complainant whilst married to another woman and she told his wife about the affair<\/p>\n
“He went to her flat and attacked her.”<\/p>\n
Mr Prior said Hussein told her: “I told you not to tell my wife, you’ve ruined my life. You knew I was married.”<\/p>\n
The victim underwent an operation to have a titanium plate inserted into her broken eye socket and may require further treatment.<\/p>\n
When she gave evidence, she described being “besotted” with Hussein during their affair.<\/p>\n
She told the jury: “I’m stronger now.<\/p>\n
“I’ll never allow a man treat me like that again, never.”<\/p>\n
The court heard that the defendant’s wife, who has since given birth to their child, was standing by him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
