"Mohamed, 25, was sentenced to 60 months in prison, with a five-year probationary suspension for 15 months, for committing a series of violent assaults and a rape in December 2024 in Beyne-Heusay.
Boris, 31, his accomplice during the final assault, was convicted only for that incident (excluding the rape) and received a 45-month prison sentence, with a five-year probationary suspension for two-thirds of the term.
On December 8, 2024, a woman who was at her partner’s home heard knocking on the window while he was asleep upstairs. Mohamed and Boris entered the home, and Mohamed trashed the room where the man was sleeping, looking for money. He flipped the bed.
Beatings with a belt, hammer, and knife
They stole money hidden under the bed. Mohamed beat the couple using a spiked belt, a knife, and a hammer. Boris held the man while Mohamed struck them.
Mohamed took the woman into another room and hit her with the spiked belt. He also forced her to perform oral sex on him while Boris remained with the man.
Mohamed then forced the man to call a friend, a second-hand dealer, to come over and buy a piece of furniture.
He tries to strangle him
When the dealer arrived, Mohamed hit him and attempted to strangle him. He forced him to hand over money, his car keys, and his bank card.
The woman took the opportunity to escape, sought refuge at a neighbor’s home, and called the police. The suspects fled before the police arrived.
At first, Mohamed completely denied the facts, later attempting to downplay them significantly.
On December 3, 2024, he had already smashed the window of a bakery to steal an iPad and some biscuits.
On December 9, 2024, Mohamed broke into a man’s home in Beyne-Heusay. He searched the place, left behind some clothes, ate cheese cubes he found in the fridge, and stole clothes, a television, and a PlayStation.
The following day, he went to his neighbor’s home. Once inside, he helped himself to food from the fridge and prepared a meal. He grabbed a kitchen knife and threatened the man. He stole a phone, a television, and the house key. He locked the man inside before fleeing.
The court considered all charges to be proven."
