A Nigerian woman who burned her lover’s genitals with a hot iron while they were having sex has been sentenced to nine years in jail by a court in the United Kingdom.
Kenya Alozie, 31, of no fixed abode, pressed the appliance down on the man’s legs and genitals before slashing his hand with a broken bottle.
The attack took place in May at a property in Plumstead, south east London, and left the victim needing surgery for burns and deep wounds.
Alozie has now been jailed for nine years after being found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court of grievous bodily harm (GBH).
The court heard the attack took place while Alozie, a former student at Coventry University, and the man, who was in his 30s, were having sex at accommodation where she was living with friends.
At the time of the attack, Alozie’s student visa was due to expire and she was expected to return to her family in Nigeria a few weeks later.
She was caught on May 24 at Heathrow Airport as she was preparing to leave the country and charged with GBH with intent.
Detective Constable Duncan Clark from Greenwich police, said: “Alozie committed a calculated and pre-planned attack.
“She ensured she had a broken bottle to hand and a hot iron to strike the victim and seriously harm him.
“The sentence imposed clearly reflects the seriousness of this extremely violent attack.”
