Behar Kasemi s custody shot Picture: WILTSHIRE POLICE A THUG spat at a custody officer just weeks after he was spared prison for a random attack on a lone cyclist. Now, Behar Kasemi has been jailed for more than two years at Swindon Crown Court after he admitted assaulting an emergency worker and breaching his earlier suspended sentence order. Sending him down for two years and four weeks, Judge Jason Taylor QC said he would serve half of his sentence in prison before he was released on licence. “If you commit any further offences during the licence period you stand liable to be recalled,” he told the Old Town man.

Sending Little to prison for 22 months, Judge Peter Crabtree said the sentence was within the range where it could be suspended. But he added: “This is not a case where a suspended sentence is appropriate. Having regard to the sentencing guideline on the imposition of custody sentences the offences are simply too serious given the aggravating features for any sentence other than an immediate custodial one.”

Swindon Crown Court heard he told the man he was stealing his bike, chillingly adding: “If you tell I kill you.” But Judge Jason Taylor QC spared Kasemi an immediate prison sentence, noting that the 47-year-old had been suffering from psychosis, severe depression and amnesia at the time – all mental health disorders that warranted a reduction in the sentence, according to new Sentencing Council guidelines published last year.
