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
