The harrowing details emerged during the trial at Croydon Crown Court, where it was revealed that Castano-Colque’s violent outburst was triggered by jealousy over his pregnant girlfriend, Sanaa Taha, who had ended their relationship after discovering his infidelity. Despite Taha’s repeated refusals and attempts to move on, Castano-Colque persisted, resorting to desperate measures to win her back.
