Bradford Predator Jailed for Brutal Park Attack

A 36-year-old man has been handed an 18-and-a-half-year extended sentence for the violent attempted rape of a woman in a Bradford park.

Khairul Amin, of Moor View Drive, was sentenced after being convicted of attempted rape, intentional strangulation, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

The court heard that the defendant must serve at least 14-and-a-half years in custody before he is eligible to be considered for parole.

The remainder of the term will be served on licence following his eventual release from the custodial estate.

The incident occurred on the evening of 28 August when a woman in her 30s reported being attacked while walking through Peel Park.

The victim contacted emergency services at approximately 21:00 to report that an unknown male had subjected her to a sexual assault and strangulation.

The court was informed that the victim sustained serious head injuries during the struggle and required hospital treatment for her wounds.

In a victim impact statement read to the court, the complainant described how the trauma had ruined her day-to-day life and left her suffering from regular flashbacks.

The woman stated that she hoped the sentence reflected the pain and loss of confidence she has endured since the random assault.
