Two men have been sentenced to jail after carrying out a vicious stabbing attack on teenager Dontae Davis in Eastville, Bristol. Rioul Scharschmidt, 21, and Romaine Mullings, 20, both from Bristol, were found guilty at Bristol Crown Court on 7 March for their roles in the attack, which occurred on May 22, 2021.
The court heard how Dontae Davis was viciously assaulted by the defendants, sustaining multiple stab wounds to his head, abdomen, and buttock with weapons described as “fearsome. Despite the severity of the attack, Mr. Davis miraculously survived, though he required hospital treatment for his injuries.
Scharschmidt and Mullings were arrested later on the same day after seeking medical attention for injuries they sustained during the altercation. Scharschmidt was found with a knife wound in his upper back, while Mullings had injuries to his neck and arm.
