A domestic abuser who strangled a woman and a killer driver are among the east London criminals who have been sentenced to prison time so far this month.
These are the names and faces of the men and women who were sentenced to prison time in March 2026 so far.
Domestic abuser
Adomas Daubaris, 57, of Cherry Tree Lane in Rainham, has been jailed for domestic violence offences.
He strangled his then-partner on two occasions in July and September last year.
After he had left following the second attack, the victim woke in the middle of the night to find him back inside her home.
Daubaris was arrested at the scene and later pleaded guilty to two charges of intentional strangulation.
He was released on bail but later turned up at the victim’s house on Christmas Day and again on December 27, taking the victim’s dog on the second occasion.
Judge Alexia Power, who sentenced him to 18 months in prison, said: “People in intimate relationships should be able to trust and feel safe with their partner.
“They are entitled to respect and love. Strangulation is neither of those things.”

Romford killer driver
Timothy Kusemi, 41, of Lower Bedfords Road in Romford, killed a 70-year-old woman after failing to give way at a crossroads in Humberside.
He was driving an Audi A6 when it collided with a Volkswagen T-Roc at a junction near Rudston in the East Riding of Yorkshire on November 24, 2023.
Sue Whittles, who was driving the Volkswagen, died at the scene.
Her husband Bill Whittles, now 83, who was in the passenger seat, suffered serious injuries including multiple fractures to his spine, ribs and sternum and was airlifted to hospital for treatment.
He spent almost 12 weeks in hospital and later in a rehabilitation centre recovering from his injuries.
An investigation found Kusemi had failed to stop and give way at the crossroads of Burton Road, Nine Dikes Road and the B1253 Thwing Road before crashing into the side of the couple’s vehicle.
Witnesses also described his driving beforehand as erratic, with his car swerving across the road.
Officers established that Kusemi was not legally allowed to drive in the UK at the time because his licence was not valid.
Kusemi was jailed for six years for causing death by dangerous driving.
