A man accused of attempted murder allegedly stabbed his ex-partner many times on multiple areas of her body, a jury heard in the judge’s summing-up at the Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court.
Aissa Ferkous, 30, denied attempting to murder his ex-partner in her London home, despite being in possession of a machete before arrest shortly after the attack.
During a recounting of official police statements, the jury heard that PC Alex Reed – one of the first to attend to the scene of the crime – claimed that the woman, who was covered in blood, alleged that Ferkous “called me a whore and started me beating up”, later alleging “he keeps trying to kill me”.
The alleged victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was found with two stab wounds on her arm and forearm, wounds on her head, neck, arms and back, and also a flesh wound to one of her buttocks.
At 3:49 PM on the 31st of May 2022, officers attended a call to flag down a mixed raced female needing assistance. Once reaching the address, officers followed what was described as a “blood trail” into the property, where they found the victim covered in blood and attempting to tend to her wounds.
