ABUSIVE EX RIPPED HIS FORMER GIRLFRIEND’S UNDERWEAR TO PIECES THEN POSTED A COPY OF THE KARMA SUTRA THROUGH HER MOTHER’S LETTER BOX
Murtaza Ahmed, aged 32, tracked his former partner into her residence and later, after she moved to her mother’s house, he entered her flat and began vandalizing the space.During the court hearing at Oxford Crown Court, it was revealed that upon her return to the Rose Hill flat, the victim discovered her underwear drawer had been torn apart and pages from her copy of the ancient Indian sex manual, the Karma Sutra, were strewn across the room.
Prosecutor Nick Mather explained that the defendant’s actions were intended to shame and embarrass her, possibly to discourage her from reporting the incident to the police, given the humiliation involved.
The manual was mailed anonymously to the victim’s mother’s home, along with several handwritten notes that vividly described in detail what she was alleged to have done and with whom.
Earlier that same night, on April 29, Ahmed had followed her into her flat, assaulted her physically by punching her face, and then clung onto her as she tried to leave.
During the preceding week, he had repeatedly shown up uninvited at her property, shouting abuse and expressing continued affection.
When she finally escaped, she locked herself in her car to avoid contact.
Ahmed continued attacking her vehicle by hitting and kicking it before she managed to drive away to her mother’s house for safety.
Ahmed, who lives on Swinburne Road in Oxford, admitted guilt on the day of his trial to charges of burglary, causing actual bodily harm, stalking, and criminal damage.
He had a criminal record consisting of 19 convictions across nearly 30 offences.
He was sentenced to 27 months in prison by Judge Michael Gledhill KC, who expressed disbelief at his conduct towards someone he claimed to have loved.
A restraining order was also issued, preventing Ahmed from contacting the victim for eight years.
During mitigation, Ahmed Muen stated that his client accepted responsibility and bore the blame solely for his actions.
It was noted that at the time of the offences, he was heavily intoxicated, using both alcohol and cannabis.
His parents were described as 'heartbroken' over his behaviour and were absent from the court, as they were with his critically ill grandfather in Pakistan.
In a letter addressed to the judge, Ahmed promised to change his ways and outlined his plans for the future.
The judge remarked on this, saying, “I hope you’re telling the truth.”
