A
jilted thug stalked and beat-up his ex so severely on New Year's Day
shocked witnesses thought she had been run over by a vehicle.
Constantin
Nantu, 35, received ten years imprisonment after he was found guilty
at Isleworth Crown Court of inflicting grievous bodily harm and
harassment.
The
court heard how the victim, a woman in her thirties, was followed and
attacked by Nantu in the street.
At
around 9.50pm on Tuesday, January 1, Nantu waited for the victim in
Gorst Road, Park Royal, west London.
He
hid behind a car, and when she passed by, he set upon her, viciously
punching her to the back of the head and knocking her to the ground.
He
continued to punch her as she lay defenceless, desperately attempting
to get away.
The
woman was found in the road suffering from injuries so severe the
initial call to police reported the victim had been involved in a hit
and run collision.
The
victim suffered bruising and cuts to both her eyes, elbows and knees.
She
also complained of pain to her ribs and was taken to St Mary's
Hospital for treatment.
She
has now been discharged.
The
court ruled the attack was a cowardly and despicable premeditated
attack, which was the product of jealousy and rage.
Enquiries
by police established that Nantu had gone to the victim’s place of
work on a number of occasions including on December 29, last year,
just three days before the attack.
Nantu
had previously been involved in a relationship with the victim and
was furious that the relationship ended and she had begun to enjoy
socialising again.
Detective
Sergeant Hannah Rudd, said: “Nantu
lay in wait for the victim, approaching her from behind whilst she
was talking on her mobile phone.
“His
attack on her was vicious and relentless. He clearly could not accept
the relationship he had with her was over and that she was moving on
with her life.
“Instead
of spending a happy New Year ’s Day, the victim found herself in
hospital being treated for serious injuries.
“I
sincerely hope that the sentence handed down by the court provides
some closure to what has been a very traumatic and difficult time.”
