Woman rendered blind by father-in- law who thought she having an affair with a Muslim ( photos)

Oh! This is just so sad....In the most horrific attack, a Sikh
woman has been rendered blind after being attacked by her
father-in-law because he thought she was having an affair
with a Muslim man.

Jageer Mirgind was left blind and scarred for life after 51-
year-old Manjit Mirgind slashed her wrists and stabbed her
in the eyes screaming 'I am going to kill you'.
Mrs Mirgind’s children, just three and six years old,
watched the horrific attack at their mother's home in
Kensington Gardens, Ilford, East London, and pleaded with
their grandfather to stop.

The crazed attacker wrongly believed his daughter-in-law
was 'sleeping with a Paki' and that she had 'ruined his
family'.
Tragically, Mirgind misunderstood the situation when his
daughter was the victim of a series of prank calls.
According to Dailymail ,After punching her in the face he
dragged her into the kitchen where he savagely kicked her
before grabbing a knife.He eventually left and went home
as his wife called an ambulance for Mrs Mirgind. He later
turned himself in at the police station and told them exactly
what had happened.

Judge Nigel Peters QC said: 'You have accepted that you
have caused the most serious injuries to your daughter in
law.
'You set about her having taken umbrage because
you felt she was having affairs when it turned out she
had been receiving prank calls.You set out with great
hostility and vengeance - you punched her, forced to
the ground and kicked her and took knives to her face
and wrist to gouge her eyes.

'She has since lost a lot of sight in both eyes and
there is major scarring to her face.
In a statement read by his lawyer Edward Boateng-Addo, he
said: ‘
I am a hard-working family man who left his job to
care for his ill mother seven years ago.I was stressed
out at the time and nothing can excuse what I did.I
was trying to protect her - I am a peaceful and honest
man and I know I will not have the chance to
apologise but I do look to the court to say how sorry I
am.

He had initially been charged with attempted murder but
prosecutors later accepted a plea of causing grievous
bodily harm with intent in order to avoid having to go to
trial.He stared at the floor as he was jailed for ten years
and eight months
