Page 28The stalking
of Mrs Kind
Jealous mother threatened to kill her
son’s favourite primary school teacher
AN obsessed mother vowed
to kill her son’s primary
school teacher because of
the bond she had formed
with her child.
Nushee Imran, 40, became
jealous when her five-year-old
son began talking about
Rebecca Kind and asked if he
could buy her flowers.
The mother-of-four started
stalking the teacher, turning up at
her home and bombarding her
with phone calls, texts and more
than 100 emails.
She became ‘fixated’ with Mrs
Kind and wrongly believed she
was leading a ‘conspiracy to have
her children removed from her’.
Police were called after Imran
told a doctor she planned to kill
her ‘because of all the pain and
suffering she had caused’.
The stalking began after Mrs
Kind, a special educational needsdisability co-ordinator at Etchells
Primary School, in Heald Green,
Manchester, bonded with Imran’s
son, who has special needs.
Manchester Minshull Street
Crown Court heard the stalking
incidents worsened after Mrs Kind
alerted a social worker when she
noticed Imran being ‘too tough’
with her son in October last year.
During one face-to-face confron-
tation at the school, Imran, from
Heald Green, asked the teacher:
‘Are you scared of me?’
Mrs Kind replied: ‘I’m just doing
my job as a teacher.’
Imran subsequently blamed
stress for her conduct. On Tues-
day she admitted stalking causing
fear of violence between May 2018
and April 2019.
She was jailed for six months,
suspended for a year, and banned
from contacting Mrs Kind for fiveyears under a restraining order.
Justin Hayhoe, prosecuting, told
the court: ‘The defendant began
to contact Mrs Kind at a dispro-
portionate level to what was
required. She would attend the
school sometimes four times a day
and would constantly call and
email. She was advised by the
school to stop but continued.
‘Around Christmas 2018 there
was further contact in the form of
phone calls, texts, emails andMrs Kind also received a Face-
book friend request, said Mr Hay-
hoe. ‘She suspected it was the
defendant and when it was chal-
lenged, the account was deleted.’
Mr Hayhoe said Imran saw a GP
and later told a mental health
practitioner she thought there
was a conspiracy to have her chil-
dren removed from her.
She also said she wanted to kill
Mrs Kind because of all the pain
and suffering she had caused her,
Mr Hayhoe said.
Police were called because the
remarks were seen as a serious
threat, the court was told.
‘Mrs Kind was shocked thatthere had been a threat to kill,’
added Mr Hayhoe.
Tom McKail, defending Imran,
said: ‘She truly is ashamed of what
she’s done. She lost control and
was under a lot of stress.’
Sentencing, Recorder Matthew
Corbett-Jones told Imran: ‘You
became obsessed and jealous of
your victim in her capacity as his
teacher and her ability to support
your son with his considerable
needs.’ He said Imran caused Mrs
Kind ‘genuine fear and upset’, but
said he was sparing her a prison
sentence so she could carry on
looking after her son and because
of her ‘remorse’.By Richard MarsdenLiving in fear: Rebecca Kind (left) was bombarded by Nushee Imran‘Are you scared

video calls with Mrs Kind. Some of
them were unpleasant but not
abusive or violent at that time.
‘The defendant thought her child
was being taken off her.’
The abuse continued this year
and Imran was twice seen driving
slowly past the teacher’s house.
