Sudden Knife Attack Shocks Sunderland Neighbours
Adam Ahmed, 30, a Sudanese migrant, has been found guilty of attempted murder and wounding with intent after a savage knife assault on two neighbours at a Sunderland property. The brutal attack unfolded on June 21 at a shared home on Roker Avenue, with the verdict handed down at Newcastle Crown Court.
Chilling Assault Caught Jury’s Eye
The court heard Ahmed tried to kill Leon Askew, stabbing him deeply in the neck. Mr Askew was on the phone with his mother in the garden when Ahmed struck from behind, pressing his hands over the victim’s eyes before delivering the blow. Ahmed showed no emotion, then chased and stabbed Mr Askew again as he fled, wounding his arms. Terrified, Mr Askew locked himself in a room while his mother alerted police.
