OXFORD -- A ZIMBABWEAN immigrant who assaulted a woman after falsely imprisoning her has been jailed for two years.

Andrew Zengenene, 37, of Barford Road, Bloxham, admitted the two charges during a hearing at Oxford Crown Court on Friday. Two further charges of rape were ordered to lie on the file.

Rachel Drake, prosecuting, said Zengenene told his victim, who cannot be named, he had a gun and was going to kill her and himself.

Drake said: "Throughout the incident she believed she was at risk of dying."

She said the victim eventually managed to contact the police and escape from through a kitchen window.

Alistair Grainger, defending, said: "This is not a habitually violent man. He is an intelligent, well spoken, calm, articulate man.

"He did well at school, qualified and worked as an accountant in Zimbabwe. He came because of difficulties at home and whilst he has been here he has been working and making a living.

"He discovered he was HIV positive two months before this incident and that left him in a very highly charged emotional state."

Judge Julian Hall told the defendant: "Whatever you did to your victim you made her behave in that very, very frightened way.

"The Home Office can deport you at the end of your sentence."

He sentenced Zengenene to two years in prison for each offence, and ordered that the sentences must run concurrently.
