Next up, we have a shocking story that took place in a restaurant in East Ham, London back in March of 2022. It was a normal day for the diners until they witnessed a terrifying scene unfold before their very eyes. A man, Sriram Ambarla, attempted to kill his ex-girlfriend right in front of them, leaving everyone in a state of shock and fear.
It all started when Ambarla, who was 25 years old at the time, brutally stabbed his former partner nine times, including a deep cut to her neck. The victim, who was working at the restaurant, was left fighting for her life and spent a month in critical care. She had to undergo six surgeries in order to survive the attack. Ambarla eventually turned himself in to the police and admitted to murder and possession of a knife. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison and was also banned from ever contacting his ex-girlfriend again.
During the court hearing, it was revealed that Ambarla had met the victim while studying engineering in Hyderabad, India back in 2016. However, their relationship came to an end in 2019 due to Ambarla's physical abuse and constant threats of suicide if she were to leave him. The two later moved to the UK in 2022 to study at the University of East London, where Ambarla continued his abusive behavior. He felt he had control over her due to a large debt owed by her brother.
In the days leading up to the attack, Ambarla went to the victim's father's house and offered to pay off the debt in exchange for her hand in marriage. The victim felt blackmailed by him as he threatened to reveal their past relationship, which was frowned upon by her religious parents. Ambarla also accused her of sleeping with other people, even though they were no longer together. He bombarded her with constant phone calls and even showed up at her home uninvited, demanding to see her.
On the day of the attack, Ambarla went to the restaurant where the victim worked and sat down at a table. He kept ordering things so that she would have to serve him. While sitting there, he made disturbing searches on his phone about murder. He searched for things like "what happens if a foreigner murders in the UK", "how to kill a human with a knife", and "how easy is it to kill someone with a knife". It was clear that he had been planning this attack.
Ambarla snapped when he overheard the victim saying she wanted to celebrate her break-up. He then threatened to kill her if she didn't marry him, to which she replied that she didn't want to live by his rules. This angered Ambarla, and he proceeded to stab her multiple times, even as she lay on the ground. He had brought the knife with the intention to murder her and showed no remorse for his actions.
It was a miracle that the victim survived the attack. She suffered nine stab wounds, including a deep cut to her neck that penetrated her windpipe. She had to spend a month in the hospital and later returned due to a lung infection. Looking back, she could only remember feeling the first stab wound, but she knew from its ferocity that Ambarla wanted to kill her on the spot. Two years later, she is still struggling with panic attacks and fears that Ambarla may come back and harm her again.
During the court hearing, two forensic psychologists concluded that Ambarla is a dangerous offender and that there is a possibility he may harm future partners. However, the judge decided to sentence him to 16 years in prison, hoping that he will receive help for his mental health issues while incarcerated. Ambarla also received an indefinite restraining order, prohibiting him from contacting the victim ever again.
This horrific incident serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing mental health issues and the dangers of domestic violence. The victim may have survived, but the scars, both physical and emotional, will stay with her for a lifetime. Let this be a lesson to all those who think they can control and harm their partners. Domestic violence is never acceptable and will not be tolerated.
