Farnaz Farabi, a vicious domestic abuser and rapist from Coventry, has been imprisoned for perpetrating a series of ‘sickening’ assaults on a defenceless lady. Farnaz Farabi assaulted the woman with a hammer and scalded her body with boiling water, resulting in life-altering injuries.
According to West Midlands Police, Farnaz Farabi sexually assaulted the woman and threatened her with a knife at her throat during nearly 18 months of ‘torturous’ torture. In March of this year, concerns were expressed regarding the woman when her coworkers observed face injuries.
The police initiated an inquiry and found that the woman had incurred a broken wrist and ankle, a fractured nose, and other lacerations. Farnaz Farabi initially refuted all allegations but ultimately entered a guilty plea to charges of rape and wounding at Warwick Crown Court.
Farnaz Farabi, 28, of Jasmine Grove, Coventry, was sentenced to 19 years in prison on Wednesday, December 11. According to West Midlands Police, he will subsequently be on an extended licence for seven years.
PC Ellis Burbidge stated: “It was a horrific instance of physical and sexual abuse inflicted upon a vulnerable woman over an extended duration.” The woman’s experience was awful.
“She has sustained extensive and permanent scarring across her body and is continuing to rebuild her life in a safe environment surrounded by support. It was appalling and inexcusable, and Farnaz Farabi is rightly behind bars for a significant time.”
A spokesman for West Midlands Police added: “We are committed to taking robust action against anyone who commits domestic abuse offences. We introduced the Domestic Abuse Desk, which is run by specially trained officers who can have video calls with anyone who has suffered abuse.
“It means officers can capture first-hand accounts which can then be used to bring offenders to justice. We can also refer people to charities and independent specialists who offer even more support.
“If you have experienced domestic abuse or know someone who has, we are ready to listen to you, support you, and act against whoever is responsible. If there is an emergency that is ongoing or life is in danger, call 999 immediately.”
