Brutal Attack in Bournemouth
A 22-year-old Latvian, Maksims Pilko, has been locked up for over eight years after viciously stabbing a man nine times during a shocking street attack in Bournemouth.
It happened after Pilko spat in a woman’s face and punched her to the ground following a heated argument. When her boyfriend stepped in to defend her, Pilko launched a savage knife assault, leaving the victim fighting for his life.
Serious Injuries and Court Sentence
The victim was rushed to hospital and placed in an induced coma due to the severity of his wounds. Pilko admitted to grievous bodily harm with intent, possession of a knife, and assault by beating at Winchester Crown Court.
In court, it was revealed Pilko had a troubled upbringing, leaving home at 16, and expressed remorse for his actions, but the judge made it clear he posed a serious threat to public safety.
