Man who stabbed customer at petrol station and held staff hostage indefinite hospital order

A man who stabbed a customer at a petrol station, unprovoked, and then held staff hostage has been sentenced for attempted murder. Paul Miller walked into the Morrison's Daily shop in Hengrove last year where bricklayer Liam Kittlety was getting a coffee from the machine.

Without word or warning Miller stabbed him multiple times with a kitchen knife. Mercifully, in a struggle that ensued, Mr Kittlety was able to get to safety.

Bristol Crown Court heard paranoid schizophrenic Miller - who had not taken his medication but had been taking drink and drugs at the time - then turned his attention to shop staff.
