A man who stabbed a former work colleague 24 times while he slept has been handed a life sentence. Lewis Robinson, 30, brutally attacked and attempted to kill Saiyed Mashhadi in his home in July 2022.
The victim, who suffered severe injuries as part of the attack, survived the ordeal but has life-long effects to deal with due to the attack, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Honorary Recorder of Preston, Judge Robert Altham, delivered the sentence of 18 years minimum term and said. The court heard the two were 'good friends' having previously worked together at a courier company.
