Brutal Knife Attack Shocks Local Community
Lal Miah, 44, from Stansted Road, Bishop’s Stortford, has been locked up for 22 years following a savage stabbing last July. The attack unfolded on 6 July 2025 inside a home on his own street. Miah, who denied the charges, was found guilty of attempted murder after a tense seven-day trial at St Albans Crown Court.
