Mohammed Miah

Between April 21 and June 14, 2025, Mohammed Miah engaged in a targeted campaign of abuse against a woman in Rushden. The court heard that Miah repeatedly assaulted the victim in the presence of her children, including an incident involving intentional strangulation. Miah further subjected the victim to controlling and coercive behaviour, which included bombarding her with unwanted messages and telephone calls, and making threats of violence against her and her family.

On June 14, 2025, Miah approached the victim and her family as they arrived at a property, acting in an aggressive and abusive manner. Upon his arrest by Northamptonshire Police, a utility knife was recovered from his vehicle.

Following a trial at Northampton Crown Court, Miah was found guilty on August 1, 2025, of engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, stalking involving fear of violence, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentional strangulation, and possession of a knife blade/sharp pointed article in a public place. On November 4, 2025, he was sentenced to a total of four years and one month imprisonment. Additionally, the court imposed a five-year restraining order prohibiting Miah from contacting the victim, except through professional third-party agencies.
