The 40year old from central Bradford proceeded to strangle her until she lost consciousness. When she woke she found that he had binned some of the clothing she was wearing and washed the blood off her in a bid to cover his tracks. He left her covered in bruises and had cuts to her head and loss of hair from being dragged.
Prosecutor Ella Embleton told Bradford Crown Court today that the couple had been out partying before the attack after midnight on August 15.
The two of them were on cocaine and Mobin had taken a cocktail of drink and drugs when he began shaming the woman in front of his friends at his flat.

He then grabbed her by the hair, struck her and strangled her with both hands so that she was unable to breathe and passed out.
In her victim personal statement, the woman said she had been left traumatised. She was covered in bruises and had cuts to her head and loss of hair from being dragged.
She didn’t go out and was left in fear and panic.
“I don’t know who I am anymore. I live with depression,” she stated.
Mobin was tried at the magistrates’ court and convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and intentionally strangling the woman.
Mitigating for him, his barrister Lauren Smith stated that he was lightly convicted with no long history of domestic violence. He was still adamant that some of the women’s injuries were self-inflicted.
He said it was a spur of the moment, unplanned incident after both had used drugs.
