Nurse describes how patient tried to kill her after attacker is jailed for life
- 2 months ago
A mental health nurse has told how she almost died when a hospital patient tried to murder her - by strangling her with the drawstring from his HOODIE.
Kieffer Sutton, 25, throttled mum-of-three Kazeema Asfal, 37, until she blacked out at Heath Lane Hospital, in West Bromwich, West Mids.
She described how he told her 'It'll be fun seeing you die you, you b***h. It's time for you to suffer your death" before other members of staff came to her rescue.
Sutton was given a life sentence with a minimum 13 years term on Thursday (23/5) after being found guilty of attempted murder at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
The court heard he had a shocking previous record of violently attacking nurses, hospital patients and members of the public over a 10 year period.
Sutton - who was born a woman but now identifies as a man - had committed 46 counts of actual or threatened violence, almost all of which were carried out on members of healthcare staff.
But Kazeema said she was not made aware of Sutton's background who had been on the unit for a year before he tried to strangle her on July 2 last year.
He had pretended to need the toilet to get her alone before wrapping the cord around her neck and tightening his grip.
