Woman Gets Her Eyes Plucked out by father-in-law who thought she having an affair with a Muslim (SEE Photos)


Oh! This is just so sad….In the most

horrific attack, a Sikh woman has been

rendered blind after being attacked by

her

father-in-law because he thought she

was having an affair with a Muslim man.

Jageer Mirgind was left blind and

scarred for life after 51-year-old Manjit

Mirgind slashed her wrists and stabbed

her in the eyes screaming ‘I am going to

kill you’.

Mrs Mirgind’s children, just three and

six years old, watched the horrific

attack at their mother’s home in

Kensington Gardens, Ilford, East

London, and pleaded with their

grandfather to stop.

The crazed attacker wrongly believed

his daughter-in-law was ‘sleeping with a

Paki’ and that she had ‘ruined his family’.

Tragically, Mirgind misunderstood the

situation when his daughter was the

victim of a series of prank calls.

According to Dailymail ,After punching

her in the face he dragged her into the

kitchen where he savagely kicked her

before grabbing a knife.He eventually

left and went home as his wife called an

ambulance for Mrs Mirgind. He later

turned himself in at the police station

and told them exactly what had

happened.

Judge Nigel Peters QC said: ‘You have

accepted that you have caused the

most serious injuries to your daughter

in law.

‘You set about her having taken

umbrage because you felt she was

having affairs when it turned out

she had been receiving prank

calls.You set out with great

hostility and vengeance – you

punched her, forced to the ground

and kicked her and took knives to

her face and wrist to gouge her

eyes.

‘She has since lost a lot of sight in

both eyes and there is major

scarring to her face.

In a statement read by his lawyer

Edward Boateng-Addo, he said: ‘

I am a hard-working family man who

left his job to care for his ill mother

seven years ago.I was stressed

out at the time and nothing can

excuse what I did.I was trying to

protect her – I am a peaceful and

honest man and I know I will not

have the chance to apologise but I

do look to the court to say how

sorry I am.

He had initially been charged with

attempted murder but prosecutors

later accepted a plea of causing

grievous bodily harm with intent in order

to avoid having to go to trial.He stared

at the floor as he was jailed for ten

years and eight months
