A shocking knife rampage in Pulborough has landed Thomas Hoe, 28, behind bars for 15 years.
Stabbing Rampage Rocks Quiet Street
On the evening of 16 January, police stormed Pulborough Road just after 7:25pm to find two victims seriously injured. A 54-year-old woman, known to Hoe, was attacked following a heated row. A 30-year-old man suffered multiple stab wounds to his torso, arms, legs, and neck while trying to stop the attack. He needed emergency surgery.
In a bizarre twist, Hoe also stabbed himself in the leg before calling 999 to report three people attacked. Officers quickly arrested him at the scene.
Court Drama Ends in Heavy Sentence
At Lewes Crown Court, Hoe was cleared of attempted murder but convicted of two counts of grievous bodily harm with intent. He had already admitted to carrying a knife in public.
