Horrific Knife Rampage in Enfield Shocks Britain

Liban Malhamoub, 45, launched a brutal stabbing spree against a mother and her three young children in Palmers Green, Enfield on July 6, 2019. The victims, all under 12, were stabbed a total of 34 times with multiple knives during what the court described as a “sustained and repeated assault.”

Neighbours Battle to Stop Attack on Residential Street

The horror didn’t end inside the home. After the victims fled the property, the bloodbath spilled onto a nearby residential street. Neighbours bravely intervened, but Malhamoub was only brought to a halt when armed police arrived on the scene.

Mother and Children Brutally Targeted

Inside the dining room, Malhamoub attacked the mother with 24 stab wounds, including four horrific injuries to her face. He then mercilessly turned on the children, who had been desperately hiding within the house.

One child suffered 21 stab wounds alone, with seven to the neck and three to the chest, the Old Bailey heard during the trial on Friday, April 9.
