| Sannah Javed |
A
“violent and controlling” boyfriend, who beat his on-off partner
to death, is starting a seven year prison sentence.
Hussein
Abu, 37, had used violence against 26 year-old Sannah Javed for
several years and they were living in separate addresses at the time.
Abu,
of Whitechapel Road, Whitechapel pleaded guilty to manslaughter
halfway through his Old Bailey murder trial.
The
court heard Abu attacked Sannah at her home in Green Lane, Ilford on
December 2, last year, but initially tried to lie his way out of it.
Police
and an ambulance crew were called to the address at 11.15pm, where
they found Abu in an agitated state.
He
claimed Sannah suddenly collapsed while sitting on her bed and later
gave two different versions in a bid to save himself from going to
prison.

Home
Office Pathologist Dr. Ashley Fegan-Earl ruled some of these injuries
were in keeping with a third party assault.
Detective
Chief Inspector Tim Duffield of the Homicide and Serious Crime
Command, said:
"The police investigation exposed Hussein Abu as a violent and
controlling man, a person who, after attacking his partner, was
prepared to lie in an effort to escape justice.
"Abu
had ample opportunity to admit his guilt earlier but chose to put
Sannah's family through the further ordeal of a criminal trial.
“I
can only hope his conviction helps her family begin to come to terms
with their loss."
