MOHAMMAD QORAISHI BRUTAL MURDER IN MAIDSTONE: HORRIFIC ATTACK ON WIFE LEADS TO LIFE SENTENCE

In a chilling case that has shocked the community of Maidstone, Mohammad Qoraishi was found guilty and subsequently sentenced for the savage killing of his wife, Parwin Quriashi. The incident unfolded on Christmas Day, a day typically associated with celebration and family gatherings, but instead became the scene of a violent and unprovoked assault that left a woman dead and her family devastated.

According to court proceedings, Qoraishi launched a frenzied and merciless attack on his wife within their flat in Maidstone. The assault was described as ferocious by the presiding judge, Mr. David Griffith-Jones, who detailed the brutality inflicted upon Parwin. The court heard that Qoraishi used a kitchen knife to stab her a staggering 38 times, targeting vital areas including her head, neck, chest, thighs, and abdomen. In addition to the stabbing, he struck her multiple times with a frying pan, causing blunt force injuries, and inflicted further wounds with other sharp and blunt instruments, demonstrating a level of violence that was both relentless and calculated.

The judge emphasized the severity of the injuries, noting that they were potentially fatal. The wounds to her head, neck, and torso were particularly concerning, with at least 38 stab wounds identified as likely to have caused her death. During the attack, Qoraishi also strangled his wife, adding another layer of brutality to the assault. The court was told that the attack was completely unprovoked, with no apparent motive or warning signs, making it an act of pure violence against a defenseless woman.

Following the murder, Qoraishi attempted to escape justice by fleeing the country. He headed towards Dover in his Audi A3, presumably intending to leave the UK. However, his plans were thwarted when police, utilizing automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras, intercepted him near Dover. His arrest was swift, and he was taken into custody, ending his attempt to evade justice.

The police described the attack as savage and cruel, emphasizing that the victim was entirely defenseless during the assault. Qoraishi, originally from Hull, had only recently moved into his wife’s flat in Maidstone just five days prior to the tragic incident. The court’s verdict was clear: Qoraishi was to serve a life sentence, with a minimum term of 16 years before he could be considered for parole. The case has left a lasting impact on the Maidstone community, highlighting the tragic consequences of domestic violence and the importance of swift justice in such heinous crimes.
