Daniel White has secured the attempted murder conviction of David Richards, who received an overall sentence of 31 years imprisonment.
In finding Mr Richards dangerous and passing a 27 year sentence, with four year extended licence, HHJ Gosling said,
“The attack on JL was ferocious and utterly brutal. As with partners you have had before, you sought to bully, intimidate and control her. In the chilling words you uttered before you repeatedly stabbed her, intending to kill her, if you couldn’t have her, nobody was going to. She was fortunate indeed to survive that attack. You did not need a knife to achieve your ends. You are a large, powerful man, professionally trained in combat. You used a knife only to ensure that she should not survive. As the jury decided, and as was abundantly clear from the evidence, you intended to end her life.”
