A FORMER boxer who sneaked into his ex’s house in the dead of night and then assaulted her, her new man and her female housemate has been jailed.

Mubasha Hussain also tried to get his new girlfriend to lie about where he had been that night to try and avoid getting prosecuted.

But she refused to go through with it and despite telling the police a tissue of lies, 24-year-old Hussain admitted what he had done when he appeared before the court.

And as he was being led to the cells to start his four month sentence he shouted ‘Your honour I’m sorry. I don’t deserve this your honour’.

Tessa Hingston, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court Catherine Taylor had been seeing workmate Hussain but ended it when she found texts from other women on his phone.

On December 22 she had been out with colleagues and was in bed with new man Martin Duggan and sometime after 2.30am she heard someone on the stairs.

She thought it must be her housemate Katie Grady and soon after she heard the bedroom door open and then close which she thought odd for her friend to do.

Around 20 minutes later she heard the front door open and her housemate shouting ‘Why is the back door open’.

Miss Taylor and Mr Duggan got up and when she went into the bathroom and turned on the light she found Hussain sitting on the edge of the bath.

She asked what he was doing there and he said ‘nothing’ before punching Mr Duggan and pushing past Miss Taylor.

Downstairs he grabbed her by the jaw and shoved her and also pushed Miss Grady as he was being asked to leave.

Miss Hingston said he then called new girlfriend Rosie Harrison, asked her to pick him up and after they had gone for some food told her the police may contact her.

He told her to tell them he had been with her all evening, but to be vague about timings, and say he stayed and left for work in the morning.

Hussain, of Elmina Road, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice and three counts of common assault.

Rob Ross, defending, said: “He had carried out this stupid act of going round to their house and getting in that row, assaulting not seriously three people.

“He then made his situation much worse by asking Miss Harrison to lie for him. He put that right when he appeared in court.”
