Lanarkshire mum blasts sentencing of thug who stabbed her daughter with corkscrew

The mum of a woman who was stabbed with a corkscrew by her former partner has said his jail sentence was not enough.

Oliver Richardson scarred his victim for life following the attack at Craig Tara Holiday Park in Ayr. During his violent outburst, he hit her on the face with a mobile phone, dragged her to the bathroom, and demanded she take a shower. He also nipped her on the body and threw various items around the caravan

Richardson, from Wishaw, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for the vile attack when he appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court. The victim’s mum - who asked not to be named - said the family didn’t think the sentence "reflected the abuse and terror" her daughter experienced at the hands of the brute.
