Review

Jane Rackham

In 2013 Birmingham barrister Iqbal Mohammed and fellow lawyer Anisah Ahmed started an affair. However, when she found out he was already married, she was furious and wanted revenge. The retribution escalated from threatening texts through allegations of rape, the staging of a kidnap and even a stabbing.

While Mohammed accepts he was wrong to cheat on his wife and lie to Ahmed about his circumstances, he did not deserve the punishment the latter meted out. Mohammed, as well as the detectives involved at the time, take us through this jaw-dropping “Fatal Attraction” case.
