Overview
- A Winchester Crown Court jury found Anwar Ashraf guilty of attempted murder after a trial focused on his intent.
- Prosecutors said he stabbed his ex-partner, Carla Skeites, 17 times at her workplace at 3600 Parkway in Whiteley on April 30, 2025, before members of the public stepped in and police arrested him.
- Evidence presented in court showed he tried to call Ms Skeites about 49 times that morning and had been drinking since around 3am.
- Ashraf had already admitted wounding with intent and carrying a knife, while the prosecution argued he meant to kill and the defense urged jurors to doubt that intent.
- He remains in custody and will be sentenced at Winchester Crown Court in June.
