A brutal attacker who savagely assaulted a young woman in London has been found dead behind bars.
Harsh Attack in Harlesden
Gulwali Stanekzay, 25, was jailed for three years after a vicious 2023 assault in Harlesden, north-west London. The cowardly thug rode his bike into 23-year-old Aisha Waris as she walked home alone at night. He knocked her to the ground and repeatedly punched her in the head, leaving her battered and bleeding.
The violence didn’t stop there. Stanekzay returned several times, trying to attack Aisha again and even tried to smash through a door to get to her.
Death Inside HMP Wandsworth
Stanekzay pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison until January 17, 2026. But his sentence was cut short when he was found dead at HMP Wandsworth.
The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman has launched a probe into the circumstances of his death.
