Triple stabbing: attacker sentenced
A man who carried out a “horrendous” knife assault on a woman and two children in south Norwich has been jailed.
Isaac Williams stabbed Victoria Meek more than 10 times at an address off Hall Road in April, before attacking her two children.
Police were called to a property on Mill Close, off Southwell Road, on Tuesday 12th April 2011. One of the children managed to dial 999, despite suffering multiple injuries.
Emergency services arrived at the south Norwich address to find the 23-year-old mother with multiple stab wounds. Two children, aged 6 and 3, were also found with knife injuries and all three casualties were taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Victoria Meek and one of the young children underwent life-saving operations.
Following the incident, officers managed to trace Williams’ Renault Clio to the seafront in Great Yarmouth. The 28 year old had previously been in a relationship with Miss Meek and had become violent after learning she was in a new relationship.
Detective Chief Inspector Jes Fry, from the Norfolk and Suffolk Major Investigation Team, speaking at the time Williams entered his guilty plea, said Victoria Meek and the two children had shown “great courage” in coming to terms with the ordeal: “This was a horrendous and extremely violent attack involving an innocent woman and two young children who will be forced to live with the trauma for the rest of their lives, scarred physically and emotionally.
At Norwich Crown Court today, Isaac Williams, from College Road was sentenced to an indeterminate prison sentence, but must serve at least 10 years before being considered for parole.
