Callum Walsh, a 29-year-old man from Barnham, has been handed a 13.5-year sentence for two distinct yet grievous crimes. The sentence, delivered at Lewes Crown Court, addresses Walsh’s involvement in a stabbing incident in 2021 and subsequent abusive behaviour in early 2023.
The first incident unfolded on the afternoon of May 23, 2021, in Littlehampton. After spending the night and morning drinking with a male friend, an argument erupted between Walsh and his companion. The dispute escalated violently, with Walsh hitting the man with a bottle and then stabbing him, resulting in significant injuries. Walsh was arrested the next day, charged with causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent, and released on court bail.
