On the following sunday, he returned to the house and waited for my sister to come home, when she did he stabbed her in the abdomen and the neck, the knife had to be surgically removed. thankfully my sister will be ok. he has a previous record for theft, I just basically wondered would he be charged with GBH? and if so what sort of sentence will he be given.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.As a weapon was used during an assault and it has caused injury he should be charged with GBH with intent - as for sentencing I'm not sure as I don't get involved in that. You will also have to bear in mind that the crime that is recorded for your sister may not be the same as he is charged with so he may be charged with a lesser offence depending on what evidence there is in order to get the conviction. Your sister should be able to speak to the officer dealing and they can explain this to her. Hope this helps.

In my society he would be executed. Given the state of the society that most people tacitly acquiesce in and therefore deserve, he probably won't even get a custodial sentence. Ben and Tom Cowles murdered Frank McGarahan who was trying to stop them beating up a tramp. Last Friday Mr Justice Saunders sentenced them to 7.5 and 7 years respectively for killing a good Samaritan. How sick do you want society to get? Judges must be taught some lessons - even if, as with Saunders he emphasised he was giving the maximum sentence he was allowed to. The more of us that exercise supplemental justice, the sooner judges and politicians will realise how serious they have let things get.
