Khaled Sharrouf's brother charged over partner's alleged domestic violence abuse

The brother of slain ISIS fighter Khaled Sharrouf has been charged over sickening domestic violence allegations at his home in Sydney’s south west. 

Arken Abdul Rahim Sharrouf, 32, is facing serious assault charges after an alleged attack yesterday, left his 27-year-old partner with 10 broken ribs, two broken vertebrae and a fractured left eye socket. 

Sharrouf is also charged with choking his partner and forcibly shaving her head. 

Police said the woman turned up to Riverwood Police Station just after 10 last night.  

She had severe injuries to her face and was treated by NSW ambulance paramedics at the station. 

Police arrested Arken Sharrouf at a nearby home on Belmore Road at Peakhurst.

He was charged with intentionally choking a person without consent, common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assault occasioning grievous bodily harm.

Sharrouf didn’t appear before the magistrate at Sutherland Local Court today.

Instead his lawyer Omar Juweinat asked that his client be seen by mental health staff from Justice Health to be treated for schizophrenia.

On the night of the incident, police refused bail for Mr Sharrouf, alleging he has links to a terrorist organisation, is the brother of a known deceased terrorist and has previously travelled to the Middle East to support terrorist organisations. 

Police also claim to hold fears for the safety of the alleged victim, if Sharrouf is released on bail. 

Arken Sharrouf’s older brother, Khaled Sharrouf, was an ISIS fighter who was killed in an air strike in Syria in 2017. 

Arken Sharrouf’s domestic violence matter returns to court next week.
