A Nottingham MP is demanding a meeting with the Ministry of Justice over 'serious concerns' about how the case concerning one of her constituents has been handled. It comes as former painter and decorator Dominic Walker said his life 'has been ruined' after one of his colleagues slashed his face with a Stanley knife.
The 36-year-old, from Clifton, said the ordeal left part of his face paralysed - explaining he had to quit his well-paid job due to his disability. As a result of the attack, the dad-of-two said he split up with his partner and moved into his mum's back bedroom, struggling "to make a fresh start" after the traumatic experience.
His attacker Steven Brett was sentenced to two years in prison for wounding, with time ordered on a qualifying curfew. Judge Stuart Rafferty, King's Counsel, ordered Brett serve half of his sentence before his release on licence - meaning his time in prison would be about one year.
