A man who made death threats to a domestic abuse victim will be deported. 

Fars Mtawea, of St Marys Road in Nunhead, was jailed for 36 months on September 26. 

The 46-year-old was found guilty of making threats to kill by a jury at Worcester Crown Court. 

As a foreign national with a sentence over 12 months he is liable for automatic deportation to his country of origin, Syria. 

The offences took place in Evesham, Worcestershire. 

Mtawea was also given a restraining order preventing him from contacting his victim directly or indirectly. 

Detective Inspector Marie Green, of the Protecting Vulnerable People (PVP) team, said: “We are pleased to get this result against Mtawea who made appalling threats to kill against his victim. 

“The courage of the victim coming forward and hard work by DC Lucy Edwards and the PVP team has led to this great result. 

“Given his status as a foreign national he now faces deportation to Syria.”
