Asylum Seeker Jailed for Sickening Double Rape in Sutton Park
A 28-year-old asylum seeker has been found guilty of raping an 18-year-old woman in a brutal attack at Sutton Lawn Park, Sutton-in-Ashfield. Sheraz Malik struck after the victim had a drink, launching a horrific assault mere moments after another man had also raped her.
Malik Claims Consent, But Jury Sees Through Lies
Malik denied the charges, insisting the encounters were consensual. The jury wasn’t fooled. They slammed him with unanimous guilty verdicts on two counts of rape, though he was cleared on a third. The chilling details shocked Birmingham Crown Court throughout the harrowing trial.
Asylum Background and Murky Past Unveiled
New details show Malik is an asylum seeker from Pakistan, with a troubling history across Europe. Before arriving in the UK, he lived in Italy, Germany, and France. At the time of the attacks, Malik was based on Bath Street, Sutton-in-Ashfield.
Judge Sets Sentencing Hearing Amid Reporting Restrictions
Sentencing is due on 6 February, with the judge to decide Malik’s fate. Nottingham Crown Court had earlier imposed a strict reporting ban on his immigration status until the trial wrapped.
