This is the best summary I could come up with:


A man and his parents have been jailed after his wife was forced to take anti-diabetes medication and doused in a corrosive substance, leaving her in a persistent vegetative state from which she will never recover.

Ambreen Fatima Sheikh, described as “intelligent, bright, ambitious and happy-go-lucky”, was 30 when she was given the anti-diabetes drug glimepiride after being brought to the UK from Pakistan after an arranged marriage.

Sheikh was also doused in a caustic substance, possibly a cleaning fluid, and was abused in the house in the days leading up to her admission to hospital on 1 August 2015.

DCI Matthew Holdsworth of West Yorkshire police said: “This has been an awful case in which a young, healthy woman has been catastrophically injured and robbed of her future by the very people she should have expected to protect her.

The judge concluded there was a two- to three-day gap between Sheikh falling unconscious and the family calling an ambulance, which would have exacerbated her brain injuries.

At the trial last year, Asgar, Khalid, Shabnam and Shagufa Sheikh were all found guilty of allowing a vulnerable adult to suffer physical harm.
