A bully who subjected the woman in his life to a miserable existence has been locked-up for twenty-two months.

Tarang Katira, 34, of Bollo Bridge Road, Acton pleaded guilty to one charge of controlling or coercive behaviour.

He was jailed at Isleworth Crown Court, where he was also ordered to pay £1,500 costs to the victim and made subject to a restraining order prohibiting contact with her.

On April 29, last year police were called to their home to a report she had been assaulted by Katira following an argument.

Officers attended and Katira was arrested. 

He pleaded guilty to a number of incidents between September, 2017 and April, 2018 of physical, verbal and psychological abuse.

The investigation was led by the West Area CID and officers collated witness accounts from more than 30 people, medical evidence and more than 250 exhibits to support the prosecution.

Detective Constable Robert Watson, said: "Katira subjected her to serious abuse and she was incredibly brave in finally reporting his offending to police.

"This was a complex and protracted investigation and the strength of the case built by the team led to an early guilty plea.

"Domestic abuse has no place in modern society and the Met is committed to playing its part to bring offenders to justice and safeguard and support victims.

"We would urge anyone who is in an abusive relationship to speak to police."

Anyone who is a victim of domestic abuse, or knows of someone who may be a victim, should call police via 101 or 999 in an emergency.
