Three jailed for Alexandra Parade attack
They admitted GBH with intent
A man from London - and two others from Weston-super-Mare - have been handed prison terms for admitting attacking a man in the seaside town in 2024.
Billy Lane, 24, of Greenford in London and Kyle Nutley, 54, and Nathan Smith, 34, both of Weston-super-Mare, all pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent when they appeared at Bristol Crown Court last week.
They've each been jailed for more than four years each following the incident on June 9th last year, in which the trio attacked the victim in Alexandra Parade after an argument.
Avon and Somerset Police say the court heard Lane hit the victim before repeatedly kicking him while he was on the floor and that both Nutley and Smith stabbed him.
The victim suffered a collapsed lung and multiple other injuries which he received treatment for in hospital. He has since been released home.
He was given first aid by attending officers and the three men were all arrested less than an hour later and subsequently charged.
They each pleaded guilty when they appeared in court on Monday 24 March. Lane was sentenced to four years and four months in prison while Nutley and Smith were both jailed for four years and nine months.
DS Charlie Allen said: “This was a brutal attack which the victim was lucky to survive.
“He suffered horrendous injuries as a result of the actions of Lane, Nutley and Smith that evening but thankfully has made a good recovery.
“Each of these three men played a significant part in the attack and have rightly now been handed prison sentences for their involvement.”
