Man jailed for eight years for ‘biological’ GBH
A man was been sentenced to eight years in prison on Monday for deliberately infecting two women with the HIV virus.
Mohammed Dica, from Mitcham, south west London, insisted that both women knew of his condition before they had sex with him.
However, he was convicted at Inner London Crown Court on October 14th of two counts of “biological” grievous bodily harm.
The court heard how the 37-year-old told his first victim he had undergone a vasectomy and pursued the second victim telling her he loved her and wanted to have children with her.
Judge Nicholas Philpot described him as “despicable” during sentencing at Inner London Crown Court.
“In each case you abused a loving relationship, loving on one side at any rate, and inflicted GBH,” the Judge said.
Father-of-three Dica remained impassive as he was sentenced to three-and-a-half years for the first offence and four-and-a-half years for the second.
The case is believed to be the first successful prosecution in England and Wales for sexually transmitting HIV.
Dica, who may only have a few years to live, reportedly plans to appeal against the verdict.
