Violent Ex Behind Bars

Custody: Hammersmith Magistrates Court

A disgruntled former husband, who has waged a violent campaign against his ex-wife and her mother, was remanded in custody yesterday for a probation report after yet another violent incident.

Mohammed Khairul Hoque, 38, of Tudor Street, Cardiff had already pleaded guilty to assaulting his one-time wife Shabana Begum at a flat in Braithwaite Tower, Hall Place, Paddington on October 11, last year.

Prosecutor Miss Helen Clutton told Hammersmith Magistrates Court: “The defendant is someone who has violent tendencies.

“She says he is her ex-husband, which she denies.”

Hoque was remanded in custody until May 29 for sentencing.

The court heard that in 2000 Hoque was convicted of stalking and stabbing both his ex-wife and mother-in-law in the head with a knife.

In 2003 he forced his way into the mother-in-law's address and threatened to kill the pair of them and in 2009 was convicted of wounding in an unrelated violent incident.
