A woman will stand trial for allegedly sending herself messages which she claimed were from her ex-partner.
Before Suffolk Magistrates’ Court on Thursday was Katrina Shirazi-Fard, who stands accused of committing an act with the intention to pervert the course of justice.
It is alleged that Shirazi-Fard, of Stone Lodge Lane West in Ipswich, committed a “series of acts” in Woodbridge between January 1, 2024 and March 9, 2024, according to court documents.
The documents specify that 38-year-old Shirazi-Fard gave “false statements in relation to harassment and malicious communications offences” and claimed that these messages were sent by her former partner, “when you yourself were sending the messages”.
She is also alleged to have threatened a person with a knife at an address in Martlesham on January 17 last year.
Shirazi-Fard was not asked to formally enter pleas at her hearing on Thursday.
However, a date was set for a plea and trial preparation hearing next month.
She is expected to next appear before Ipswich Crown Court on August 21.
