Man jailed for stabbing two women in Felixstowe
Michael Dawson's been found guilty of GBH after stabbing two women, one in the stomach and one in the neck, in Felixstowe earlier this year.
The 35 year-old from Mill Lane was jailed on Friday 20th November for eight years.
He was found guilty of two counts of GBH following a three-day trial, during which he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of wounding.
Police were called to a property in Mill Lane just after 2am on the 1st January after reports that two women, known to Dawson, had been stabbed.
A 34 year-old woman sustained a serious knife injury to her stomach, while a 45 year-old woman was stabbed in the neck.
Dawson was arrested the same morning and taken for questioning where he was charged.
Investigating Officer, DCI Chloe Booty, said:
"This was an horrific attack that could have ended so much more seriously for the victims.
"The sentence given by the judge of eight years each for the two offences will run concurrently and gives Dawson plenty of time to reflect his horrific actions.”
