DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENDER SENTENCED FOR DAMAGING WIFE'S CAR
An aggressive man named Mohammed Basharat used a plank of wood to damage his wife's car, causing approximately £1,000 worth of damage to her Audi A5.The incident occurred after police had already removed him from their home in Heckmondwike due to his previous aggressive behavior.
Basharat admitted to criminal damage in court.
The case involved a history of domestic abuse, including verbal and physical violence against his wife, with police involvement documented from previous incidents.
On August 28, he returned home intoxicated, leading to an argument during which he caused damage to their house and struck his wife.
He then damaged her car in their driveway, hitting it multiple times with a plank of wood, resulting in broken windows and mirrors.
The victim expressed fear for her safety, stating she feels she won't stop until he seriously harms her.
Basharat had previously received a caution in 2013 for battery against his wife, and the court ordered him to pay her £1,000 in compensation and issued a restraining order for two years.
