Partygoers stabbed by 3 violent knifemen
COURT JAILS GATECRASHERS AFTER ‘APPALLING’ ATTACK
POLICE were called to a holiday cottage in a Nottinghamshire village after reports two men had been stabbed by party gatecrashers.
Officers said three men who gatecrashed the party launched an “appalling” knife attack in Staythorpe during the early hours of Sunday, January 9.
The attackers forced their way into the venue, which was being used by young people to host a party, and confronted those inside.
Two young men took themselves to hospital and later required surgery to treat multiple stab wounds.
Emmanuel Murphy, Amahnde Lodge and Tialo Miguel were later arrested after detectives identified them from CCTV footage and a mobile phone number they’d used to book a meal at a restaurant.
Murphy, 21, of Highwood Avenue, Bilborough, admitted two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, and possession of cocaine.
Lodge, 21, of Melrose Avenue, Sherwood, and Miguel, 21, of Hartley Street, Manchester, both admitted two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, two counts of possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, and conspiracy to supply a class B drug. At Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, they were all jailed. Lodge was jailed for nine years and nine months, Miguel for nine years and six months and Murphy – deemed to be a dangerous offender – for 11 years. Detective Sergeant Andrew Hall, said: “This was an appalling act of premeditated violence that could so easily have had very tragic consequences for everyone involved. These men set out that night with the intent of causing serious harm to others but appear to have paid little thought to the consequences.”
