In 2022, British Guest Adhnon Marrtab, a London Rapist, was jailed after his victim bit him so hard that he still had the mark when he was arrested six days after the attack.
Adhnon Marrtab, then 24, followed a woman at 4 am after she had been discharged from a hospital in north London on 25 October last year.
She was on her way home and had alighted a bus at Golders Green Station, visited a shop, and was waiting for another bus when she saw Adhnon Marrtab crossing the road towards her.
Despite her shouting to discourage him from speaking to her, Adhnon Marrtab snatched her phone from her hand.
She pushed Adhnon Marrtab away and tried to escape, but he kept following her and grabbing her while making sexual comments.
Adhnon Marrtab then assaulted and raped her in a churchyard.
The woman was able to bite hard on his shoulder before she escaped over a fence to get help.
Following the attack, Metropolitan Police detectives found Adhnon Marrtab on CCTV boarding a bus and tapping his Oyster card. After this, they were able to trace his travel history.
A few days later, on 31 October, he was arrested outside a hotel in Wembley and charged.
Police searched his body and found a large bite mark on his shoulder, matching the woman’s account to officers that she had bitten him during the attack.
Adhnon Marrtab, of no fixed address, admitted rape and sexual assault by penetration at Harrow Crown Court and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
