Wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and criminal damage *

Sentence

17 years imprisonment with 5 years extended licence

Samuel Kelham attacked his ex-partner on her birthday in December of the previous year. He kicked in the door of her home, injuring her nonverbal autistic daughter who was behind it, then punched and kicked her, knocking her into the bathroom and putting his hands around her throat while threatening to kill her. The assault continued for around 25 minutes inside the home, after which she fled outside with her daughter, but he followed and dragged her to the ground, kicking her in the face and body, causing a shattered eye socket and fractured jaw that required a metal plate. He later messaged her to apologise and was arrested after damaging a police car.

Arson *

Sentence

Hospital order

Sheila Formon, an 81-year-old resident at Hatzfeld House care home in Blidworth, deliberately set fire to the curtains in her room on February 21, 2023, after staff took her lighter due to smoking in inappropriate places.

Judge Stuart Rafferty KC described the case as sad, noting it was an act of petulance and recklessness. She has vascular dementia and will remain at St Andrew’s Hospital until the Secretary of State decides otherwise.
