US EditionTeacher jailed for 'brutal and frenzied' knife attack on colleague
- Matthew Jones, a 29-year-old teacher, was sentenced to prison for stabbing his colleague Emma Kirk approximately 15 times during an attack in Bath, Somerset, that occurred in late February of the previous year.
- The attack occurred because Jones failed to accept that Kirk, 25, did not want a relationship and had made this clear to him.
- Witnesses described Jones as a 'man possessed' who dragged Kirk to the ground by her hair and repeatedly stabbed her in a violent and relentless assault.
- Kirk suffered life-threatening injuries including punctured lungs and wounds to her neck, head, and hands, and survived partly due to her fighting back and help from bystanders.
- Jones received a 12-year custodial sentence plus a four-year extended licence, was described as dangerous, and was made subject to an indefinite restraining order preventing contact with Kirk.
