'VIOLENT' MAN WHO RAPED WOMAN FOR HOURS JAILED
A "violent" man who trapped a woman in a house and raped her for hours has been jailed.Malik Shahzad, 46, of Scunthorpe, was found guilty of rape, false imprisonment and assault following a trial at Grimsby Crown Court in November last year.
Humberside Police said the woman was locked in the house overnight, raped for hours and assaulted by Shahzad when she tried to leave.
He denied all the offences.
Shahzad was sentenced to 16 years in prison and was handed a restraining order for life at Grimsby Crown Court earlier.
Det Con Becky McInnis, who led the investigation, said: "Shahzad is a violent rapist who subjected a woman to abhorrent levels of abuse for hours before she escaped.
"Reporting a crime of this nature is never easy and I would like to commend the victim for her bravery in coming forward and reporting this to the police.
"It is because of her courage that Shahzad will no longer be able to subject anyone else to this level of violence."
