Man jailed for 11 yrs for force-feeding woman with faeces

A 33-year-old man who carried out a “sadistic and violent” attack on a vulnerable woman, forcing her to eat food containing his excrement, has been jailed for 11 years by a UK court. Attar Khan, thought to be of South Asian origin, admitted attacking the woman, who he knew, on January 6 at her flat in Watford.

The victim, who has mental health issues, was stabbed and beaten over several hours, St Albans Crown Court was told. She went to the police, after he sent her to buy tobacco the next day.

He was jailed for 11 years last Friday, the BBC reported on Monday.

Khan subjected the woman to the “ferocious” assault when he was “full of whisky, full of hate”, Judge John Plumstead said. His victim was stabbed and cut as she tried to defend herself against the attack, which left her with a swollen and bruised face, and multiple “gaping” lacerations.

During the prolonged assault Khan filmed her eating food he had contaminated with his own faeces, and brushing her teeth with a toothbrush similarly contaminated. At one point he made her get on her knees and beg for forgiveness, the court heard. The woman went to the police when her attacker allowed her to leave home to get tobacco for him.
