A woman bravely told her child's teacher that she was in danger following a brutal beating - as her abusive husband loitered outside the school. Sobhan Azizi, 33, repeatedly attacked his wife of 10 years with a metal pole the night before.
The woman was unable to leave her home, except to take her child to school. If she did, Azizi demanded access to her phone so he could share her location.
Before the attack, he showed her a two-inch metal pole, hissing: "This is for you." Days later, he told her he was going to 'beat [her] so badly'.
