Seventeen Year Old Daughter and Boyfriend Are Assaulted With Hammer
In a statement to police, Fathema claimed she was forced into living two lives: one to appease her strict Islamic father at home and the other life that continued outside her home.
According to testimonies heard in court, Soruth Ali was woken up at 5am by noises coming from his daughter’s bedroom and opened the door to find her and boyfriend James Martin in bed together. He then grabbed a hammer and hit Martin over the head. After that, he punched and kicked his daughter Fathema before dragging her out of her bedroom by the hair while her family begged him to stop. The court heard that on the night of the incident, Fathema snuck her boyfriend in the house thinking her parents were away, but when they returned he hid in her bedroom for the night.
The assault took place August 21, and Ali has now been jailed for 14 months after he admitted to bodily harm and common assault. The 42-year-old’s daughter is in police protection after the incident and has now been placed in care to keep her away from her “very religious and very controlling” father.
After his sentencing, it surfaced that when Ali was 22 he served seven years in 1995 for the rape of a 15-year-old girl (assaulted when she was in her school uniform). Hmm, so this assault seems less about trying to protect his daughter from the world’s dangers, and more about the abuse of women (so anyone trying to defend this guy can save it).
Ali will not be allowed to contact his daughter for three years, under the terms of a restraining order.
