Javed Qureshi, aged 30, denies attempted murder and the lesser charge of grievous bodily harm. He has also denied a charge of arson with recklessness to endanger life.
On the morning of October 31 last year, at the flat they shared in Ellesmere Road, the court was told that Qureshi suddenly subjected his wife to “extreme violence” that saw him strike her around the head with the shock absorber as she lay in bed.
“During this brutal attack, not only was he saying 'I'm going to kill you' but also it was a serious weapon he was using,” said Mr Connor. “This was an attempt to kill. It was extreme violence delivered by a man who had lost control of his future. He said that the fire Qureshi admitted starting in the flat, which began after he poured cooking oil over a duvet and set light to it, had not been a serious suicide attempt but had been “calculated and deliberate to garner sympathy.”
