Octogenarian's Kill Threat

An octogenarian has been convicted of assaulting and threatening to kill a woman at his £1million North Kensington address.

Ali Teki Mehmed, 86, of Wallingford Avenue fought the charges, but was found guilty after a trial at City of London Magistrates' Court.

He was convicted of assaulting Martha Lucia Zapata and making threats to kill her, intending she would fear he would carry it out, at the address on July 12, last year. 

Mehmed was fined £400 for the assault and ordered to pay £250 compensation to the victim.

He was fined £250 for the threats to kill charge and must pay £700 costs and a £65 victim surcharge.

The court also made Mehmed subject to a restraining order, prohibiting contact with the woman.
