Woman allegedly tried to 'rip out' husband's intestines in violent attack
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Intestines were found sprawled across an apartment floor after a woman allegedly tried to rip out her husband's bowels in violent attack in the UK, a court heard.
Dalya Saeed, 34, claimed she stabbed Bilal Mir in self defence, after he allegedly raped her and attacked her with a "machete".
The 31-year-old father told a UK court that during sex his former wife stabbed him in the abdomen multiple times before she tried to rip out his intestines.
On October 20, 2015, Mr Mir said Saeed asked him to go to her home in Forest Road, Moseley, to discuss “something important” about their daughter, Birmingham Crown Court heard.
The pair reportedly had consensual sex and the father said his former partner told him she feared that if he was given custody of her daughter, he would take her to Pakistan “forever," Mirror reports.
Mr Mir told the court they had intercourse again before she stabbed him twice in the stomach.
“She started to kiss my lips, my neck and my chest and then all of a sudden, within a blink of an eye, she stabbed me twice in the belly," he reportedly said.
Mr Mir claimed he attempted to grab the knife from her before realising his "intestines were out."
"She was trying to hold on to my intestines and pull them."
“She pulled part of them off. I threw the knife behind a sofa and held the rest of them in my belly.”
The court heard that Mr Mir attempted to escape out the front door but Saeed allegedly bludgeoned him with a salt and pepper grinder.
The taxi driver claimed when he made it outside and shouted for help, she continued to attack him at the entrance of the apartment.
Three police officers arrived at the home at 3.05am to "discover pieces of flesh on the floor” and spots of blood in the hallway, the court heard.
Police officers Gavin Simms and Matthew Woodfield were first at the scene.
Simms said they followed a man's moans into the apartment to find him “lying across the doors of the porch, totally covered in blood”, with a blood-stained meat cleaver discarded nearby.
“His internal organs were protruding from a wound to his abdomen," Mr Simms said.
Sergant Thomas Hemmings said when he arrived he found Saeed with “blood on her face, blood on her hair and her dressing gown."
“It appeared as though some of his internal organs were spilling out of the (Mr Mir's) wound," Sergeant Thomas Hemmings said.
“I could see a leg wound that appeared very deep, if not going all the way to the bone.”
Saeed reportedly cut her hand in the back of the ambulance and told emergency services that her "husband did this" with a "machete or axe."
“He cut my arm with a knife. I was hugging him to get the knife and he took (cut) a piece of my hand," she reportedly said.
In a police interview, Saeed told officers that Mr Mir raped her while they were in her flat, and then attacked her with what she called “a machete”.
When she was asked how his intestine became sprawled across the hallway floor, Saeed alleged she had grabbed a hold of his bowel after being knocked to the floor.
“I was dizzy, trying to stand up, to catch (hold of) anything and so I went to his stomach and accidentally felt it (his intestine) and grabbed it, to keep him away and stop him," she told officers.
Prosecutor Paul Western said in court that the "violence used by Dalya Saeed was without justification."
“The clearest evidence of the defendant’s intention to kill Bilal Mir is that she ripped or possibly cut part of his intestines from his body, having cut open his abdomen," he said adding that alone could have killed him.
The Birmingham Mail reports that Mr Mir was living in the UK on a student visa and met Saeed while they were working in a restaurant.
It is believed the couple had a daughter together and separated in 2013.
