Chester-le-Street savage jailed for stabbing man he found with ex wife using tracking device on car

A vengeful control freak who used a tracking device to find out where his estranged wife was then launched a frenzied attack with a "Rambo-style knife" on a man she was with has been jailed for 13-and-a-half years.

Tanya Hejazi was visiting Fafa Fajjo when ex partner, Afshin Hejazi, suddenly burst in with his face covered in a mask, armed with a blade and intent on doing serious harm to a man he had never met. He repeatedly stabbed Fafa, causing horrific injuries and also assaulted Tanya in the terrifying episode.

As Hejaz, 45, of Second Avenue, Chester-le-Street, County Durham, was locked up and given a ten-year restraining order at Newcastle Crown Court, his victims outlined the devastating impact of the ordeal and told how they live in fear that he will carry out threats to come back for them when he is released.
