AHMED SHIRINZOY SENTENCED TO 14 YEARS FOR RAPE IN HAYES

In a case that has shocked the community of Hayes, a man identified as Ahmed Shirinzoy has been handed a significant prison sentence after being convicted of heinous crimes involving a young girl. The incident took place on May 29, when Shirinzoy, who was at the time without a fixed address, targeted a 12-year-old girl in her own home. According to court reports, he approached her under false pretenses, engaging her with a pretext that initially seemed innocent but quickly turned sinister.

Shirinzoy then made unwanted advances towards the young girl, which escalated into a violent assault. The court heard that during the attack, he punched her multiple times before raping her. Despite her trauma, the girl managed to escape from her attacker and promptly raised the alarm, alerting authorities to the assault. Her bravery in reporting the incident and providing evidence was commended by law enforcement officials.

Following the attack, Shirinzoy was swiftly apprehended by police officers. He was taken into custody shortly after the incident and subsequently faced a thorough investigation. During police interviews, Shirinzoy denied the allegations, claiming that a friend had given him a drink laced with a substance that caused him to forget the events. However, toxicology tests conducted on him disproved this claim, and DNA evidence collected from the victim confirmed his involvement.

After a detailed trial at Isleworth Crown Court, Shirinzoy was found guilty of two counts of raping a child. The court sentenced him to 14 years in prison on Monday, November 26. The judge’s decision reflects the severity of his crimes and the impact on the young victim.

Detective Constable Lucy Mawdsley of the Metropolitan Police expressed her admiration for the victim’s courage. She emphasized the importance of her bravery in coming forward and giving evidence, which played a crucial role in securing the conviction. Mawdsley described the offender as a “predatory sex offender” who subjected his young victim to a “horrendous ordeal.”

She also conveyed her hope that the lengthy sentence would serve as a message to other victims, assuring them that the police and support services like Sapphire are committed to believing and protecting those who come forward. The case underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat sexual offenses and protect vulnerable members of society, especially children, in Hayes and beyond.
