Man stabbed his wife and severed artery in her leg, court hears

A man accused of stabbing his wife at their home in Coventry has appeared in court.

Mihai Ilie was arrested and charged after a woman was dropped off at hospital with stab wounds to her leg and a head injury on Tuesday morning.

Police say she is in a stable condition after suffering the injuries at a house in Foleshill Road.

Ilie, 28, of Foleshill Road, has been charged with wounding with intent and appeared at Coventry Magistrates’ Court earlier today.

Gez Newsome, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said an assault happened at the family home.

Ilie is alleged to have stabbed his wife twice in the leg, severing an artery.

Mr Newsome added: “Another wound was bleeding on the back of her head.

“She ran away within the property and they were heard to be arguing and told the lodgers ‘he is beating me’ She collapsed and fainted with blood pouring from her legs.”

The case was committed to Warwick Crown Court and the next hearing will take place via video link on March 16.

The Crown Prosecution Service asked that Ilie be remanded in custody until that date as they believe if granted bail he would fail to surrender to custody, interfere with witnesses and re-offend.

Ilie’s barrister did not contest the application and he was remanded in custody.

Three other men were also arrested in connection with the incident - a 37-year-old has been bailed pending further enquiries, while no further action will be taken against the other two.
