Five Months of Terror
Detective Constable Henderson branded Anik “a controlling predator” who inflicted repeated abuse on a woman he knew over five months. The victim endured physical violence, mental torment, and threats with a knife. Anik tried to cover up his rampage by claiming her bruises came from a “skin condition” and blamed her for their disputes.
“Anik is a coward. Her courage in reporting and persevering despite risks protects others from being targeted,” said Detective Henderson.
Riverside Rape Sparks Police Action
The horrors peaked on 15 July 2022 in Wapping, where Anik violently attacked, punched the victim all over, tied her hands, and raped her by the riverside. He stalked her by tracking her phone and stalking her workplace.
Police arrested Anik on 22 July 2022. He was charged the next day and remanded in custody. After a three-week trial, the jury delivered a unanimous guilty verdict on all counts.
Justice has finally caught up with this vile predator.
