Vic: Man hid in ex girlfriend s garage, court told

A Melbourne court's heard a man hid in his ex-girlfriend's garage for three days before
kidnapping her at knife point.

Thirty-three-year-old AMAHA GASHE, of Dandenong, had been in a three-year relationship
with the 27-year-old woman before breaking up six months earlier.

Prosecutor JAMES MCQUILLAN described the situation as a love-match gone wrong, and
GASHE as obsessed with the victim and her family.

Dectective Senior Constable STEPHEN BULL said GASHE went to his ex-girlfriend's
house armed with a knife to try to reconcile their relationship on November 18 this year.

On the third day he grabbed his ex-girlfriend as she walked through the gate,
covered her mouth and held a knife to her throat.

SHANE GARDNER, defending, said GASHE had no prior history, and in the past had
been nothing but a gentleman to the woman.

GASHE faces charges including kidnapping and intentionally causing serious injury.

Magistrate ROGER FRANICH called the charges serious and remanded him in custody
to reappear on February 24.
