NIGERIAN WOMAN WHO BURNT A MAN'S PRIVATE PART WITH HOT IRON SENTENCED TO 9YRS IN PRISON IN THE UK

Kenya Alozie, 31, was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on December 14, after being found guilty of GBH with intent. This followed an investigation by police in Greenwich. On 15 May, Alozie and the victim, a man in his thirties, were having sex at an address in Plumstead when she took a hot iron to burn his legs and genitals. She also used a broken bottle to attack him.

The victim sustained a number of serious injuries including deep cuts and burns. He has since undergone a number of hospital treatments and surgery.

 

Alozie arrived in the UK to study at Coventry University. She was residing in Plumstead where she had found accommodation with friends.

At the time of the attack, Alozie's visa was due to expire and she was due to return to her family in Nigeria at the end of May.

Alozie was arrested on 24 May on an aircraft at Heathrow Airport after police in Plumstead launched an investigation into the attack and managed to stop her before leaving the UK. She was charged with GBH with intent on May 25.

     "Alozie committed a calculated and pre-planned attack. She ensured she had a broken bottle to hand and a hot iron to strike the victim and seriously harm him," Detective Constable Duncan Clark from Greenwich police said. "The sentence imposed clearly reflects the seriousness of this extremely violent attack." he added.
