Teen Caged For Stabbing Young Woman Multiple Times

A violent teenager, who repeatedly stabbed a young woman at a family and friends get-together at a west London address, has been locked-up.

Luke Rose, 19, left his 23 year-old victim bleeding with a lacerated kidney after an argument broke out in the early hours.

She had multiple stab wounds and needed immediate emergency surgery.

Rose, of Shakespeare Road, Hanwell, was convicted at the Old Bailey of inflicting grievous bodily harm, with intent, at the Acton address on January 28.

He was sentenced to four and a half years imprisonment with a further two years extended license.

The court heard in the early hours Rose attended the address with members of his family and friends.

A physical argument ensued which resulted in Rose stabbing the woman, who was known to him, repeatedly before fleeing the scene.

Officers were called alongside the London Ambulance Service and found the victim lying on a bed with multiple stab wounds to her body.

One of the stab wounds had lacerated her left kidney and left her requiring immediate surgery.

On arrival, Rose had already fled the scene but was arrested later that day at his home address.

He was taken into police custody and charged the next day.

Detective Constable Mitesh Mulji, who led the investigation, said: “Rose has failed to admit his actions that night nor has he shown any remorse for the injuries he inflicted.

“We are pleased that the jury carefully considered the evidence in front of them and were able to see through his lies.

“This was a complex investigation and we hope this sentence demonstrates our commitment to pursuing violent individuals through the courts, even in circumstances where victims are reluctant to support a prosecution.”
