Solicitor General’s Appeal Succeeds: Ismail Uradde, a 36-year-old man from East Ham, London, has had his sentence more than doubled after an intervention by the Solicitor General, Lucy Rigby KC MP, under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.
The Incident
The incident occurred on July 26, 2024, in the early morning hours, when Uradde confronted two men outside his block of flats. He accused them of making a disturbance and brandished a knife, proceeding to attack the men. One victim was stabbed twice in the left thigh, while the other suffered a deep wound to the arm.
– Victim Impact: The victims suffered significant blood loss but survived the attack. One of the victims reported difficulty sleeping and feeling unsafe outside due to fear of being attacked again.
