Sussex Police Inspector Alexandra Bailey said: “We work closely with partners, victims and our communities to improve our response to violence against women and girls in Sussex, which remains a priority for the force.”

“This was a shocking attack and I am glad that we were able to provide some peace for Ramis’ victims.

“We acted quickly and were able to secure charges for his violent behaviour, which was unacceptable.

“We will hold offenders to account by arresting them, gathering evidence and putting them before the courts.”
