The sentencing of Mohammed Roman Haque, also known as Romon Haque, marks the conclusion of a case that terrified the healthcare community. Haque, a 38-year-old British-Bangladeshi national from Royton, was handed a 28-year extended sentence at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court for the attempted murder of Acheema Cherian. This landmark ruling sends a clear message across the UK: violence against frontline staff will be met with the full force of the law, Daily Dazzling and realized.
The Scandal of the Royal Oldham Security Breach-New details emerging from the trial have sparked a firestorm of controversy regarding patient safety. It was revealed that Haque, while undergoing drug and alcohol withdrawal, managed to obtain a pair of medical scissors—equipment that should have been under lock and key. Insiders suggest that extreme staffing shortages on the night of January 11, 2025, created "blind spots" that allowed Haque to arm himself unnoticed. This revelation has triggered an immediate internal review, with the Northern Care Alliance now facing potential legal action for systemic security failures.
Acheema Cherian’s Life-Changing Sacrifice- Acheema Cherian, a dedicated nurse with 20 years of experience, is now living a permanent nightmare. The attack left her with debilitating nerve damage in her hand and severe psychological trauma. While the court has locked away her attacker, Cherian remains the focus of a national campaign for "Duty of Care" reforms. Colleagues report that despite her return to work, she faces a daily battle with the memories of the night she was hunted in her own ward.
New Laws and Appeals-The 28-year term is a record-breaking sentence that the Home Office intends to use as a legal precedent for all future assaults on emergency workers. While Haque’s legal team is expected to argue that his withdrawal-induced state should have mitigated the sentence, the court's finding of premeditated "secreting" of the weapon makes an appeal unlikely to succeed. Greater Manchester is now set to be the testing ground for a new "Zero-Tolerance" security rollout, featuring advanced tracking for medical tools and increased security presence in acute units.
