The DPP is to appeal a three-year jail sentence given to a man who stabbed his partner repeatedly with a knife during a drunken assault in her home three years ago.
The vicious attack left the victim with potentially life-threatening injuries.
Lawyers for the DPP are to claim the sentence imposed on Keith Malone for the assault on his on-off partner Louise Karadag, which included the final three months being suspended, was unduly lenient.
