A woman who used her karate skills in self-defence after being assaulted on the way home from a Forfar nightclub has seen her attackers jailed. Shehab Smekramuddin and Mohammad Islam followed Kelly Soutar, 29, to a park where she used her martial arts ability to punch, headbutt and kick the men. The pair have been jailed for three years each and face deportation to their native Bangledesh after serving their sentences. Both say they are political refugees.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard how the pair stood outside the Royal nightclub in Forfar, staring at Ms Soutar, before the incident on 17 September last year. CCTV footage showed her walking home, with the men following her about 200 yards behind. She waited in a built-up area, thinking they had given up, and left before continuing her journey. Islam, 28, then approached Ms Soutar in a car park and Smekramuddin, 59, leapt over a wall and grabbed her.
After the three-day trial Ms Soutar, a brown-belt in karate, said: "The younger one came towards me and I kneed him in the groin. When he came towards me again I punched him in the face. "At that point the guy who was holding me pushed me to the ground so I was flat on my stomach and the other one had come in and was breathing on my head. "I lifted my head. I don't which of the two I connected with but I just struggled."
Ms Soutar fled to a friend's house after the attack where she called the police. Since then she has suffered panic attacks and struggles to go out on her own. A jury found both men guilty of assault, with the intent to rape charged deleted.
Disgusting racist attacks will not be tolerated. This woman deserves locking up forever. If women can't welcome rapefugees, who can.

I suspect to speed up deportation, if not the trial would drag on ages and then go through appeals because proving intent of a specific act (rape) is much harder than proving you simply assaulted someone. Assault alone is enough to ship them back to Bangladesh and ban them from returning.
I thought she was a midget and her foot her buttcheeks. Whew.
But seriously, because she lives in the Caliphate of the United Kingdom she can't even buy a gun so now has a severe anxiety disorder and may never feel safe leaving her house ever again.

I wonder which type of karate she's a brown belt in. Heh kinda sad state of affairs in the United Kaliphate these days. My girls have a black belt in range shooting.
