A man who has a ‘dreadful’ record of dozens of serious convictions for drugs
and violence has appeared before the courts yet again.

Zimbabwean Ashley Simbarashe Maparura, 34, was before Northampton Crown
Court this week on weapons charges, where it was revealed that he was
recently granted leave to remain in the UK despite the horrifying list of offences
he has admitted to.

The court was told that Maparura has 68 previous convictions committed across
several counties.

"You have a dreadful record for using weapons.

"You have been an asylum seeker since your arrival from Zimbabwe and I am
glad that you have now been allowed to remain in this country but during
that time you have amassed a huge amount of antecedents and have been
gripped by drugs. This is a dreadful catalogue of serious convictions.”
